AMY

Amy was born in 1959 in Cockeysville, Maryland. Her interest in wood working began at a very young age. "I was interested in woodworking since I was tall enough to reach my Dad's basement workbench while standing on a stool." Her grandfather and uncles were all woodworkers and musicians in the Lake Champlain region... Staying true to her love of wood working, Amy worked for a number of years as a house carpenter and timber framer. From 1987 until 2006, she apprenticed and worked with Jeff Hostetter, a wonderful guitar repairman and builder in Shrewsbury PA. A few years later, she bought an old barn in New Freedom and began converting it into a music and repair shop.
