JP and Audrey Huver-Woodworking
The brand J (lazy) P was created in 2003, when J.P. Huver picked up a piece of forgotten wood and a cowboy lasso that had been buried in the Wyoming dirt. J.P., a stone mason of the past, knew that both of these pieces had a story to tell. His love of the west combined with the talent of his hands brought that story to life. Audrey Huver was professionally trained as a graphic artist in 1983, but has stayed silent until recently adding her southwest style of design to the pieces.
Each table, bench, gun hanger, coat hanger, bowl etc. has been created using pieces of reclaimed wood along with newer woods found throughout Wyoming and Colorado. You will find that every design is uniquely branded and numbered by the artist.
