Having grown up on a farm, woodworker David Stine knows a thing or two about working sunup to sundown. Now, he spends his days harvesting wood from the surrounding forest in the tiny town of Dow, Illinois, and crafting custom wood furniture.Don't miss our feature-length profile of Stine in our first print issue of 2017, where he fires off whimsical, irreverent observations such as: “Having children ruins your life completely. In every way,” he says. “You care about them so much that if something bad happens to one of them, you’re totally fucked.”
