Wood Crafter Robert Stinson believes in taking one step at a time. Here, he slowly makes his way up the driveway to his workshed, a morning ritual.
Robert Stinson is a self-proclaimed perfectionist. He recently spent several hours carefully sanding this cabinet in his workshed. He usually sells these cabinets for about $200.
Stinson proudly stands behind first rocking chair he ever built by hand, which he completed in 1992. The scene carved into the chair's headrest symbolized Daniel Boone shaking hands with a Native American. The scene symbolized Kentucky heritage, Stinson said.
Pat Matney, left, and Rober Stinson, right, say grace before they enjoy a homecooked meal at their Park City home. This hutch is a family heirloom: it's been in Stinson's family for at least 100 years.
After a long day of yard work, wood worker Robert Stinson and his wife Pat look over mail as they make dinner.
Pat Matney and Robert Stinson both say they were made for each other. Here, she massages lotion into his hand after Stinson had an exhausting day in his workshed -- and the nightly chore of washing the dinner dishes.
Made for each other
