Greg’s grandpa was John Taylor of Sallisaw OK. When Greg use to visit his grandpa, who is a full blood Cherokee and a talented craftsman, he would sit and “help” in his grandpa’s shop. John Taylor would make end tables, lamps and all kinds of stools and benches out of pine and sell them at different markets. Greg notice that on the bottom of all his finished pieces that John would put a littler sticker that said “Hand Made By The Wooden Indian”. This left an impression on Greg so much that when Greg opened TWI it started out as The Wooden Indian Millwork. During the Incorporating process it got shortened to TWI Millwork. And that is where TWI Millwork came from.
