Woodworking is in the Ballash blood. As a child, Kurt spent afternoons in the shop where his father and grandfather crafted custom cabinets. Driving nails into scrap wood while watching them get lost in the art of their trade, Kurt developed an unspoken love for the process of turning lumber into one-of-a-kind creations.
Kurt first followed in the family footsteps by serving his country. His grandfather served in the Navy during the Korean war; Kurt chose the Army. Just as his own service came to an end, Kurt's grandfather passed away and passed his tools down to Kurt. They provided a Zen-like calm that is not easily achieved after the deployments and rigor of military life.
