A Small Business Built on Big Support

A Small Business Built on Big Support

This post reflects on the deep sense of community that surrounded our Kickstarter to fund a fabric printing machine. While fulfilling the orders, I realized how many familiar names showed up to support us and how meaningful that is for a small family business. I share how PNWBUSHCRAFT grew from creativity, kindness and the original spark that came from Todd, and how every purchase still feels special because no one truly needs what we make. Our kickstarter reminded me that we are not building this business alone. We are building it alongside a community who believes in us, encourages us and helps us keep learning and growing.

But Mike and Outdoor Element also recognize the importance of giving back to protect the outdoor spaces that inspire their products and lifestyle. That's why they partner with environmental non-profits like Wander Project to help preserve public lands. The company also does local outreach in their Colorado community.

L.T. Wright Knife Making Class - Blood, Sweat and Micarta

L.T. Wright Knife Making Class - Blood, Sweat and Micarta
I’m pretty sure I started by tracing out my knife on my 01 tool steel (that’s knife lingo) with the knife blank provided and then cutting it on the band saw of DEATH.  Okay, its not really called that but that’s what it felt like when I was staring at it waiting to take my turn.  I mean seriously, it’s a big machine with sharp teeth that was going to cut into my steel like it was butter.

The outdoor community seems like such a large space but it is a really tight community and I wanted to spotlight how cool we think sharing the love...
