History

Hands to Work was founded in 1974 by Tim Carlson in Groton, Massachusett s to fulfill a need for quality, custom made furniture which is simple and functional.  The Shaker style exemplifies these qualities.  

"Whatever is fashioned, let it be plain and simple, unembellished by superfluities which add nothing to its goodness and durability."
-- Shaker Laws of the Millennium.

Tim learned woodworking at the Groton High School and at the Groton Colonial Shop.  He sold his first commission when he was 15 years old and has over 45 years experience in woodworking. Tim works in all native woods, pine, cherry, maple, ash, walnut, butternut to name just a few. All pieces are solid wood with hand cut dovetails and mortice and tenon joints.
