History of Windmill Woodworks
Windmill Woodworks began about 10 years ago when I was a stay-at-home dad and was working odd jobs to earn extra money.
One of my jobs was cleaning out an old shed which was being used to store old fencing. Instead of throwing the wood away,
I asked my father to help me make a picture frame for my wife on Mother's Day. I made more frames for friends and family,
and then I participated in a local craft show. The rest, they say, is history and I've been able to expand my woodworking
to include all types of furniture and custom art frames.
Why
Windmill Woodworks?
In thinking about a name for my business, I wanted to come up with something
that reflected on me as a person. Since I am Navajo/Dutch, I wanted a symbol common to both cultures, and the only thing
I could think of was windmills. And just as windmills bring life to their respective lands, I feel that by using wood destined
for the garbage, I am able to bring new life to the lumber that I recycle.

Using reclaimed materials is one of the most satisfying aspects of my work. As a Navajo, protecting the environment
and reusing lumber to make products that people will use in their everyday life is extremely rewarding. It's especially gratifying
to show people how I've taken some old boards destined for the landfill and reworked them to an attractive and useful piece
of furniture.
