Washougal man carving out new career

Greg Lewis’ woodworking journey began more than 20 years ago in Grants Pass, Oregon, where he and his wife Marchand bought their first home, which could colloquially be described as a “fixer-upper.”

Lewis immediately started to plan a series of major renovations to the small “starter home.” Conveniently, the property featured a small detached shop from which he could work. He bought a table saw from a co-worker’s sister, watched as many “The New Yankee Workshop” episodes as he could find and got to work, constructing a built-in bookcase, bathroom vanity and coffee table.
