Neal Wright has turned a fondness for wood and wool into an exciting new business. Ever since he milled his first cherry logs over a decade ago, the beauty and nature of wood have fascinated him. "Every tree," he likes to say, "holds its story. Milling a tree for me is like unwrapping a Christmas present. Each one is a new puzzle, and a joy to unwrap."
His family has dealt with fine, hand-knotted oriental rugs since the 1920's. Now the fourth generation in the rug business, Neal has chosen to focus on the art of hand-washing true oriental rugs. Like the wood he mills, each rug that comes in poses a unique challenge, to preserve and restore its inherent beauty. Wood & Wool, LLC represents a coming together of two of Neal's passions, that he can help foster the beauty inherent in the wood and the wool.
