Mike Lusk has been crafting items out of wood since 1985. A self-taught woodworker, Mike still continues to expand upon his line of quality products. Most items are made for people to paint, rosemal or finish themselves but are also available finished in a wide variety of wood species.

Scandinavian design plays a large part in the items produced. From bent-wood boxes to curved-top trunks to handmade cabinets, each piece is carefully crafted and sanded smooth.

Being of Norwegian decent and growing up around woodcarving and rosemaling, Becky became interested in Norwegian culture and the art of woodcarving at an early age. She began carving at the age of 14 under the guidance of her maternal grandfather, Hans Simonson, a Norwegian immigrant. Becky’s mother Jean Giese, is a Vesterheim Gold-medalist in rosemaling. Becky began taking classes through Vesterheim, Norwegian-American Museum in Decorah, Iowa, while still in high school. She has taken classes from prominent woodcarvers from the U.S., Norway, and Sweden. In 1992, Becky was awarded a gold medal in woodcarving from Vesterheim. She has had pieces in two international Norwegian Folk Art exhibitions and in one exhibition in Sweden. Becky has also had her work featured in Country Living magazine. She currently teaches figure carving at Vesterheim Museum, Decorah, IA, Norskedalen Heritage Center, Coon Valley, WI, Woodcraft, Bloomington, MN, and the American Swedish Institute, Minneapolis, MN.
