Abstract:

Dewey Hudson, an East Carolina University graduate, was teaching school in Tarboro when he decided to make a career change and build houses in 1974. However, it was a chance finding of a dismantled old house that started his business. Underneath the weathered, beat-up exterior, a fine piece of beautiful timber was hiding. That created the Joinery Co., an annual $3 million supplier of antique heart-pine flooring, paneling, and other rare woods and a crafter of specialty mill work.
