Artist Statement
Jim McGie is a One-of-a-Kind Appalachian Craftsman who creates one-of-a-kind traditional family heirlooms. Jim is one of only a handful of craftsmen who still work by the old ways of the Smoky Mountain woodworkers: using only traditional hand tools. Sitting in one of his rockers is like sitting in a piece of Smoky Mountain history.
“I love being in the woods! That is where the piece is first visualized; the rest comes straight from the heart. My goal is to find the wonderful unique creations of nature and combine it with my 1800’s style craftsmanship to create a rocking chair that will never have a duplicate made like it … ever!
