The Story of my Business Name

How Oak&Feather Got Her Name:
I started Oak&Feather in 2017, and a few of you know the story behind my shop name. It's not because we build with oak or paint with feathers. It's because my grandma thought it was the name of a restaurant.
I was visiting my grandparents a few years ago to celebrate Father's Day and my grandma wanted to make sure we had reservations for lunch. "Jim!" She yelled. "Did you call the Oak&Feather? Jim!?" My grandpa didn't reply, and I thought maybe his hearing aid was turned down so he didn't hear her. "The what? What did you say Wilma?" She replied "The Oak&Feather! Did you call them?!" With a puzzled look on his face he finally said, "Do you mean the Oarsmen?" "Oh yes, that's what I said isn't it?" She laughed.
I remember thinking wow, that sounded like a great place, I wish it was really called that! So a few years later when I opened up shop, I named it for her. For her spirit and humour, her confidence and imagination. She was so excited when I told her I named it Oak&Feather because of her. She gave me the confidence to take the risk, to follow my heart. And now, I continue in her memory. I know she was so proud of me, and I miss her every day. Love you gram. #inlovingmemory #mystory #mybeginning #oakandfeatherdecor #woodworkHER #maker

I’m a 63 year old man and you brought tears to my eyes. Love your site. Just got a DW788 for Christmas and promised my wife I wouldn’t take it out of the box until I finished repairing and painting the fascia on this old house. Please keep the videos coming. P.S. I think Grandma is looking down on you and couldn’t be prouder!
