History
Jo Kilmer started her rustic career after moving to Missouri in 1997. She only worked in willow and became known as The Willow Woman to many rustic furniture makers across the country. In 2005 Jo relocated to Murphy N.C where there is not an abundance of willow. Over time she has learned the many characters of the trees that grow in the mountains of North Carolina and is now building beautiful rustic works of art from the native trees that surrounds her.
