Dan has over twenty-five years of experience in woodworking. After fourteen years working for a big wood shop in Williamsport, it was time for him to start his own local business, in small-town Liberty. Dan and his father, Dwight, joined forces, establishing the original Sharp Woodworks. For over ten years they have been producing furniture and decorations, available for sale locally at markets and gift shops.
Sharp Woodworks remained a part-time business for most of this time, but every few months Dan would look around the shop and say, “All of this machinery, and this beautiful building should be doing more!”
“What else should it be doing,” his wife, Jennifer would ask.
“I don’t know, but it should be doing something!” was the regular reply.
Finally, in 2023, after Dan’s dad, Dwight, had retired and moved to enjoy Florida’s sunny skies, Dan’s son, Dwight, mentioned the idea of offering contracting services together to the community. Dan had just been talking about this very idea! And with that well-timed conversation, a business was re-born. Still a father-and-son business, but the “son” has become the “father” and we’ve made it to generation three!
Dan and (young) Dwight have experience with almost every type of general contracting work. Dwight worked with an Amish crew out of the State College area, before moving back to the Liberty area. Dan has been part of a roofing business, a barn restoration business, and managing rental upkeep in addition to his twenty-five years in the woodshop! Both are ready to tackle any job you have for them, minus plumbing and electricity!
Since expanding into contracting in early 2024, Sharp Woodworks has been busy (almost too busy) making homes beautiful around the area. Give us a call to discuss your next project!
