Author: Henry Holly

My name is Henry Holly. My family, and I live in Scio, Oregon on a small, retired farm near the little community of Lacomb. I'm building my brand with the incentive of providing timeless handmade products crafted with only quality materials and durable hardware that will live on as heritage pieces. My pledge as a small business owner is to never put quantity over quality. If I'm not satisfied with the final product, then it never leaves our address. I believe the products we sell should bring the customer joy and last many decades given proper care. It is my goal to eventually create all of my woodworking crafts with 100% solar. Solar energy is currently powering my laser cutter and charging battery powered tools. Each purchase helps me towards scaling up my solar panels and battery bank to realizing my goal of powering saws, planers, drills, routers, sanders and more! Please feel free to ask any questions about my designs or processes and I'd be more than happy to answer them. Thank you for visiting, -Henry (Hank) Holly

Foraging a Hearty Winter Meal.

This is a first of its kind for me. Hope you like it :) Trying to be creative when you're late to the maple blossom party. 🍁 Creating a wild stir fry ➡️ by including some oxeye daisy, dead nettle, mallow and siberian miners lettuce. The oxeye daisy is bolting right now and the tender part of the stalk is such a tasty veggie which worked wonderfully for tempura. As for the miners lettuce flower stalk they were flash fried as an attempt to mimic bean sprouts. I wasn't completely sold on it but I think it's still worth further exploration. The mallow added a nice overall creaminess to the veggies. Not quite enough for a gumbo effect but pleasant still. I've been fairly reluctant to share any picture candidates for my new book currently in the works, more specifically a complete visual reference. This is mainly out of fear for copyright infringement, especially if these pics make it in the final draft... but at the same time how else can I share my enthusiasm for it without any teasers?? It's a conundrum.
