The Art of Old-Growth Woodworking With Tacoma's Husband-and-Wife Team

Not many people get the chance to say they own and operate a successful business with their spouse, but that’s what was in the cards for Jeff Libby and Adrienne Wicks of Birdloft — they just didn’t know it at first. “I used to deliver meat, chicken and cheese to this deli," Jeff recalls. "And there was a married couple there and they made sandwiches all day long next to each other. I was in my 20s then, was on top of the world, and I just thought, ‘Oh, my God! That would be terrible!' But I didn’t know anything, I was just a kid.” Now, he works alongside his woodworking wife in their spacious Tacoma, Washington, studio.
