Like many people who work in this craft, I had a difficult childhood that helped me become a man who strives to get ahead. We don’t use complicated or modern tools, just a lathe, a band saw, a drill and a polisher. Right after the terrible earthquake of 1976, there was just no money in Guatemala and I had to go to Honduras to sell my designs. Thank God, we were able to keep the workshop and get through those tough times.’What is Worldstock?The handcrafted touch of artisan skill creates variations in color, size and design.
