Scott Phillips is in his fourth decade of woodworking. He started in his father’s shop when he was eleven. The first moneymaking projects were air-dried walnut shelved and boxed. These projects led into furtniture and restoration commissions. Furtniture repair work quickly led to a passion around antique furniture. Scott considers Chippendale and Shaker furniture styles his favorite source for design inspiration. His approach: study the best then make furniture using correct techniques. He is the host of the television show THE AMERICAN WOODSHOP which will soon be airing its 19th season. The program is now broadcast on more than 370 television stations and reach 5 million viewers each week. THE AMERICAN WOODSHOP can be seen locally on Saturdays at 11:00am on WPTD channel 16.
Ansonia Lumber Co. is proud to host the 19th annual Toys-for-Tots wood toy contest as a way to help make Christmas a little brighter for underprivileged children. Ansonia Lumber Co. is located at 300 S. Main St. in Ansonia, Ohio.
