John Furniss and his wife, Anni Becker Furniss, live with their rescue dog, Pickle, in Washougal. John spends much of his time creating woodwork in their shed, and Anni is an artist with skills from photography to fiber art.

The couple’s shed is full of woodworking tools such as a table saw, band saw and lathe that John, 36, uses with proficiency, despite the fact that he is completely blind.
