Please note: Earlywood uses more of a manufacturing process with jigs and templates to produce utensils of top quality, but also quickly. The utensils are all hand-finished, but they modify tools to make this a more streamlined process. Even if you have used many of these tools before, there will be a learning process for their specific methods. They are located in a small resort town in Montana, where affordable housing may be difficult to find.
