Fathers and Sons, an Etsy Storque article

In case you missed it, The Norsk Woodshop was featured on Etsy.com in the Storque for Father’s Day. 

“Patrick Sikes of norskwoodshop's grandfather was a furniture maker, along with his father. After his grandfather passed, Patrick would spend hours in his workshop surrounded by wood, tools and equipment.

"From his legacy I learned the importance of patience and ingenuity with any project in life.”
