A message from the Owner, Eric:
Welcome to Gray Fox Woodworking! Let's get the introductions out of
the way. My name is Eric Gray. My wife is Anne (Fox) Gray. And our
daughter is Violet.The eagle-eyed of you may have picked up on where I got the name for
the business. My last name and my wife's maiden name just went together so well. It's like it was meant to be!I come from a family of makers of all types. Welders, blacksmiths,
shop teachers, sewists, quilters, musicians, etc. It took me a long time
to figure out where I fit. I played the trumpet, won a filmmaking
competition, started a photography business, and even built a photo
booth to rent out. The thing that really put woodworking into my head
was once my wife and I bought our first house. And let me tell you, it
was a fixer. Not as bad as some we'd seen, but still more than your
average person would be willing to take on with a budget of basically $0
to pay for labor. With the help of family, friends, and many, many
Google's and Youtube's I was able to get our house where it needed to be
(but let's be honest, it isn't done yet). As I acquired more skills, tools,
and experience I eventually decided to build a company. It's been the
second-best pivot I've ever made.I am always excited to make something new. Whether it's an idea I came up with or helping someone else make theirs.
I look forward to making something for you.
Thanks for stopping by!
