“Woodworking was going to be part of my personal plan, but it was not initially part of my professional plan. It was something I was going to pursue as a serious hobbyist,” Wolcott told the Concord Monitor, which profiled his success as a local furniture maker. The Monitor writes:
Wolcott, who grew up in Concord, says he was always creating something as a kid. In high school, his senior project was building a strip-built kayak, and in college at Dartmouth, his free time was spent in the Hopkins Center Woodworking Workshop, making items ranging from steam-bent snowshoes to a Shaker-style queen-sized bed. For his efforts, he was awarded the Heiman-Rosenthal Achievement Award in Creative Arts.
After serving four years in the U.S. Army, Wolcott enrolled in Boston’s North Bennett Street School to learn furniture design. Now he is part of the League of NH Craftsmen and will soon be managing the New Hampshire Furniture Masters Exhibition gallery in the Concord Chamber of Commerce.
