Primary Bedroom 11:02 Deck, worst for lastBetting Everything on a FarmBlacktail Ranch2025-07-30 | I started Blacktail Studio about nine years ago in my garage. Never expecting it to become anything more than a one man furniture shop based out of my house. In what seems like a blink of an eye, just now I purchased a 17 acre farm to build my dream shop on. I might have bitten off more than I can chew though. Because this property is much more than a blank slate for a medium sized shop.
I you would want to see more, I would be delighted to have you subscribe to help the journey forward. If you are more of an online lurker, I respect that too.
