Skip Odell
A New England native, Skip attended the Rhode Island School of Design in Providence, Rhode Island, and began working as a ship's joiner shortly thereafter in Ontario, Canada. Since then, he has worked as a cabinetmaker, woodworker, and sawyer, learning his craft through apprenticeship, trial and error, experience, and reflection. After living on the western coast of Canada, he moved to Colorado in 1983, where he and his wife, Debby, married in 1984. He established Odell Woodworking in Larkspur, Colorado, in 1994.
Skip designed and built the Trail's End Rocker in 2000, the year it earned the Best Woodworking Craftsmanship award at the Western Design Conference in Cody, Wyoming. Over the years, he has custom-produced several variations of the Trail's End to meet requests of individual clients who wanted a particular design element featured in their chairs.
The Trail's End Rocker is one of many original furniture pieces that Skip has created for clients throughout the United States, each one featuring superb craftsmanship, solid construction, and imaginative design.
Skip has consistently held himself to the highest standards. He values beauty, quality, and craft, and he guarantees complete satisfaction with any and every piece created by Odell Woodworking.
