Craft – Minneapolis
Inspired by their Grandfather, Earl Hoeft and his love of woodworking.
John Hoeft and Zach Carlson are carrying on the tradition by bringing reclaimed wood back to life.
Earl Hoeft (1905-1991) Brainerd, MN
Earl had an old garage turned into a workshop next to his house, here is where he would build lawn ornaments, birdhouses, cement sculptures, and various other woodworking projects. He eventually turned the front of his home into Hoeft's Gift House and spent his retirement years building and selling his work to the public.
Earl shared his skills with his children and grandchildren.
John Hoeft (Grandson) and Zach Carlson (Great Grandson) have teamed up to carry on the tradition.
In addition to Barnwood Skylines, they build a variety of home furnishings from reclaimed wood.
