Antique ring pull

Greg and Brad Baer both started out with different professions. Greg worked doing construction and Brad worked at Mo-Wood doing mass production woodworking. For 20 years they have been collectively known now as Baer Brothers Woodworking.
'We do custom woodworking,' Brad said, 'antique restoration and all sorts of woodworking from re-gluing dining room chairs to building kitchen cabinets, finishing trim and doors and working with all kinds of wood.'Greg said they both got into woodworking thanks to, '4-H and our mother.' He said she started having them do the finish on projects she was working on when he was 12. Their grandfather was a furniture builder/farmer and Greg said he learned a lot from him.'During our first years in business,' Greg said, 'we would go out to do a project and people would tell us, 'your grandpa Carl finished that for me, or would point out some piece that they bought from him.'While they worked in their respective fields, the brothers would dabble in woodworking on the side. After working in construction for 12 years, Greg decided he was through with being laid off during the bad seasons of construction and pursued woodworking full-time.'I moved back to the area in 1982,' Greg said

This way they're all in one spot and we can do 10 to 15 transactions in half the time', said Oberth. That's not to say everything gets sold and bought. Oberth told one partygoer she was better off keeping an antique ring from a relative because it had little gold in it, but the piece and the stone in it would go for a lot more in its original form. Most walked away with more than $400 in cash and some netted over a thousand dollars. Consider it as fun as a Tupperware party, except instead of paying as you leave there's a freshly cut check in your hand
