‘The way I have ideas in the
kitchen, that’s the way Charles is
with wood,” Betty describes her
husband. As Betty had a clear idea
of how to make her kitchen, Char
les designed his woodshop and
they both worked together to build
it. “We both built the shop.” Char
les stated proudly. “I mixed all the
concrete,” Betty pointed out. Then
plans call for shop addition a
showroom where they can display
some of their handicrafts. The only
problem with this, as Charles
states, is that the items sell too
quickly and they never have a
chance to show them.
To help future customers see
their handiwork and to promote
their woikmanship, the Biehl’s run
a stand at the Leesport Market and
Auction in June throughout Sep
tember. Customers can view some
finished pieces there and look
through pictures Charles has of
other pieces. This busy couple also
welcomes visitors to their home in
Mertztown to view their handi
work or interested persons can
write for more information. Then
