Since the late 1900’s J D Grove has been honing his skills as a furniture maker. After spending many hours in his girlfriend’s father’s shop, Joe fell in love with woodworking and his soon to be wife. His future father-in-law’s skills were passed down to him from his uncle, and then onto Joe. Joe and his wife Katina were married after a time of courting. As newlyweds with entry level jobs, their furniture was basic and what they could afford. Joe’s first project was a coffee table and end tables. Under his father-in-laws guidance, three tables were completed. Friends and family soon learned of Joe’s skills and began requesting pieces of furniture to be built. Joe took on any project regardless of the difficulty, just for the experience.

Years went by and Joe built many pieces of high quality solid wood furniture in his spare time. Fond memories of his son calling a hammer a “don’ter” while pounding on a piece of scrap lumber, and his daughter sitting at the workbench drawing and then arranging sticks on the floor to match the drawing of the dresser she designed, made Joe realize he had a responsibility to share his gift. He created J D Grove Signature Furniture, parent company of Musser Farm Woodworks, as the result.

Musser Farm Woodworks was established to provide customers with high quality solid wood furniture and accessories. Bathroom vanities, medicine cabinets, benches and shelves are welcome additions to the variety of products they offer.
