Craftsman LinksCustom woodworking often calls for a vast set of skills, especially when built in pieces are involved. Since it is impossible for any one craftsman to become a master of everything, although we try, we have forged alliances with various artists in the area. These affiliations allow us to offer extra services and details in our projects. We are happy to work with architects, builders, or other artists to complete their projects as well. In addition, we've provided a host of links to various woodworking and related resources. Sharing our experience, ideas, and projects with other unique sites many of whom kindly reciprocate with links to our website. Our Affiliates Links will be expanding soon, providing profiles of several local artists, shops, and websites in much more detail. As time allows, we plan to turn this into a webring of sorts - continuing to maintain a detail and focus providing truly useful sites and not those full of pop-ups and flash advertising. We're anti-spam, and we won't link any sites residing on in advertising flooded free hosting platforms. Please contact us to exchange links! e-mail: woodworkers@artisansofthevalley.com

Since 1981 the Stearns family has produced classic styled fine quality collectible teddy bears. Never more than a small family business, Stearnsy Bears have earned a reputation for becoming family heirlooms. For 27 years each Stearnsy teddy bear has been hand-crafted and it is still that way today. Today Charles and Vicky Stearns carry on the family tradition. One of the main things that have allows them to stay in business has been their ability to offer something unique to each collector. Although they do the same thing each day, they never turn out the same way. Stearnsy Bears offer a life time of enjoyment. Like all truly artistic works, they are expensive, but worth it. Granny Grace was personally selected for Eric's mother Cindy. Granny, named for her personality, is known to be "Full of grace and glory" . (shown above) Granny Grace is a wonderful bear in an exquisite outfit. Her dress is from 1846 and is in mint condition. A true one of a kind piece. She is also wearing a vintage gray fox biting stole. They're not making them like this any more. Her hat is one that Vicky has put together and has a lovely vintage flower and feathers. She also is wearing antique (over a 100 years old) glasses. They have a cracked lens but Granny believes in the old tradition of waste not want not. She'll get some new glasses when the other lens breaks Granny is around 22" tall, fully jointed, and made from premium German mohair. Granny Grace is not some fly by night Teddy but a bear of substance. She now resides in Cindy's "bear room," Eric's old bedroom, and will be a faithful companion and friend as the days go by.

Diversatech recently partnered with Artisans of the Valley to design and fabricate custom grillwork for a New Wave Gothic Entertainment Center.
This piece features solid quarter sawn white oak highlighted by black iron style hardware. A perfect example of how interlaced trades create unique and diverse designs. DIVERSATECH, Inc. had it's humble beginnings in 1984 when founder Haskel Zeloof, who was a college industrial arts teacher at the time, accepted an offer to design a product for Scott Paper Company. That first prototype, of a stainless paper towel dispenser, led to orders for large quantities of sheet metal parts that were designed, assembled and packaged in the dining room of Haskel's house in Trenton, NJ. The sheet metal fabrication had to be contracted out, as he had no shop in which to do the work. This proved to be very frustrating, as Haskel's high standards were hard to satisfy in the real world. In 1986, as the volume of orders increased, Haskel quit teaching and rented a 4,000 square foot space which he quickly filled with metal working equipment and eventually a roster of talented craftsmen to do the work to his high standards. Nineteen years and many hundreds of thousands of parts later, Diversatech now operates out of a custom-built, 13,000 square foot, state-of-the art manufacturing facility in Pennington, NJ. Every aspect of precision sheet metal fabrication is carefully and accurately accomplished in-house: from state-of-the art CNC-based punching, bending and milling operations to flawless welding and powder coating processes. Haskel's wife, Beth, runs a parallel business of graphic design and illustration, allowing Diversatech to offer the convenience of "one stop shopping" for product design, development, production and promotion.
Will's Medieval Woodworking, or, on more formal occasions, the Master William McNaughton. As you might have guessed, I am active in a medieval re-creation group. My particular escape route is the Society for Creative Anachronism. As a medieval artisan, I have been exploring the various forms of woodcraft as they were practiced in Western Europe, from the late Classical era through the Renaissance. For the past few years, my focus has been 16th-century English joinery, but within you will find notes on Italian, Norse, and German work as well.
