Jenkins Woodworking

Ed Jenkins, Maker of fine wood tools for fiber artists for over 10 years.

Thank you to the many loyal people who show our spindles, needles, hooks & hairpin lace looms to their friends and are helping to introduce our products around the world! Ed keeps busy turning out volumes of the walnut hairpin lace looms, and hooks & circular needles, and Turkish spindles.

Ed has been a woodworker since he fell in love with wood as a young boy. As far back as he can remember he has made things with wood. By the time he was a senior in high school the woodshop teacher had Ed teaching the students how to use a lathe, and generally assist in the shop during three class periods. Throughout his life woodworking has remained his first love and passion. He loves using tools that have solid wood handles and so understands the satisfaction of working with tools made with wood.

Ed works from his small shop at his home in the small village of Scotts Mills which is located in the beautiful foothills on the western side of the Cascade Mountains in N. Oregon. His passion is woodworking, his recreation is reading, and fishing. A bad back has limited the amount of outdoor hikes and canoe trips in recent years but we both continue to love tent camping. (With an air mattress, of course!) Wanda enjoys spinning, weaving, knitting, and reading. Long solitary walks are the highlight of her day. She is office manager, finisher, and order processor. She proofreads for the quarterly Mandolin Magazine, and attempts to play the violin.

We are very blessed with a simple lifestyle that permits us to work from home. Life choices in areas such as staying within our means when selecting a house to buy, affordable vehicles, and not being in debt has paid off.

Please see our Journal page for a kind-of blog.
