Welcome to Pops

    Woodworking tips from Pop is a part of Georgia Custom Interiors.

We are a family woodworking business located in Kennesaw GA, specializing in the designing and manufacturing of custom hardwood interiors for almost twenty five years. (Fifty for Pop)!

Our specialties include the following:

Bars

Kitchens

Libraries

Our goal for this site is to educate consumers on the finer points of architectural woodworking and showcase a library of our fine interiors and how to create them. Not only for the do-it-yourselfer. It’s for anyone considering having a specialized project built in their home. This website will continually be a work in progress and changes and updates will constantly be made in order to improve the way we bring information to our readers and customers. Comments and questions are encouraged on this site because this is how we will learn to build a more informative site. 

 So keep tuning in and we’ll teach you every thing we know, which Pop will say isn’t much, but we’ll try anyway!

    I followed a statcounter.com log of hits to my site this morning, and traced it back and found your posting of my site in your “cool Sites” list.

    Thanks for the posting, and the help with my publicity.

    thanks,
    Mark

    Hey Mark,
    I couldn’t help but add your site to the cool site list.
    Your craftsmanship and first class website speak for itself! I can’t wait to see some of your dads work. Good Luck! Bryan

    Bryan: I have gone several years now with the idea of photographing my dad’s house full of art-furniture. I have taken photos in the past, and just wasn’t happy with the quality of my photos and lighting. When I started the website, I thought he might start building some things to sell, and I could offer them on my website. Then, a couple of years back, he told, “Mark, I’m just not going to sell anything.” He has built woodworking items since he was a kid, and someone in our family has about everything that has been built. He taught woodworking for many years in a school, and built things during those years that blows my mind. When I started posting things of his on the website, then I started getting emails about whether they could be purchased, eventhough I clearly said, “not for sale.” His work is amazing and creative, and posting more photos is something I should do. When I get a new project, I always make it a point to go over and get his input on the design and carving, and other ideas he has. What a legacy.

    Oh, thanks for the comment on my website design. That was done by a guy that I met through some friends. I have about a year’s worth of updates that haven’t been posted, as he has run short of free time since getting married, getting a house, getting a promotion, then a transfer, etc. I met with him in Kansas City, and laid out the long term goals, and the feel for the site I wanted, and then just sent him text and photos. He did the rest. Since he has been so busy, I have poured almost all of my website effort into the http://www.lumberjocks.com site, building my profile, the project stories, the photos, and my Blog. I’m also finding that having the synergy of so much woodworking content on lumberjocks, that a large percentage of my website hits, are now from people that first found me at lumberjocks. This has sort of been shocking, as I am pretty naive about how the internet works, and the search engines, etc. But, it has caused me to adapt my concept of what I should with my website. I used to always send by email photo updates to customers on my progress. But, not anymore, I just blog it and send them the link. Saves me a lot of email time on my dial-up internet connection.

    Well, I’m out to the shop with electricity this morning, after having it out all week due to an ice storm. I’m starting work on two walnut rockers in the Maloof-Style, so that is going to be fun. I might slip a Christmas gift in for someone in the family who’s name I picked out of the hat this year.

    Take Care bryan, this is a great site you have going here. I especially like reading about the relationship between you and pop, and how you work. A treasure for all of us to read.
    Mark
