Crabby Granpa / Don Drake
handmade wooden furniture

Who, or what is a "Crabby Granpa?" Well, long story short, he is my Dad, Don Drake. CG is a self-taught woodworker with a penchant for whimsy and a creative challenge. While age tends to mellow people, he readily admits that he earned his "Crabby" moniker early on. And thinking back, I think his crabbiness peaked around the same time my brothers and I were all teenagers — hmmm, coincidence? (Can you hear my eye-roll?). But with a studio full of wood working tools my Dad is (almost) always willing to help me out with whatever crazy project I dream up. If you've taken a class with me, you've probably seen, or even used, some of his tool stands. New tool stands are available in my Store now!

(And for all my editorially-inclined friends out there, yes I know — the "d" from "Granpa" is missing — it's on purpose. Ask me about it in person.)
