A local news site has pictured David Stetson selecting a board at White Chapel Joinery in Edgecomb, in a high-ceilinged space where he can stand 16-foot-long boards on end. The same news site has called David Stetson a woodworker. A 2024 Google customer said Dave was easy going to work with and praised his millwork.
