The Maker

One garage. One set of hands. A lot of cedar.

After thirty years coaching baseball, Paul Tadlock retired to Canyon Lake and set up a woodworking shop in the garage. What started as a few birdhouses for the neighbors turned into a monthly booth at Hill Country markets: cedar furniture, wishing wells, and seasonal pieces, each one cut, joined, and finished by hand.

Cedar, mostly — because it smells right, weathers right, and belongs on a Texas porch.

— Paul Tadlock, Taddog Woodcraft · Canyon Lake, TX
