Welcome to BrainsBarn

 Together since 1996, Brian and wife Anne created BrainsBarn, an online studio started in 2004, featuring custom handcrafted needlework items crafted of various woods.

A woodworking hobby that started small will have to remain small...Brian works a fulltime day job as a machinist from 7am to 7pm and is not near retirement. So hooks and other items are created in the evening and on weekends.
