My father-in-law knows him and his father knew him and we have been to his shop. Have you seen the casket he made for one of his family members? How much do they sell for now?

It was an experience that my wife, my small children and myself will never forget, and cherish to this day. His life lessons imparted to us of the "old ways", when family values were true to the heart made an impression on us all that will truly last many generations to come. I encourage all reading this comment to take the time to visit Mr. Woody, and thank him for his may contributions to the community. This man is a true christian craftsman from the heart and one of Gods true gifts to us all !!!!

For a man in his 80's, Max teaches us to love what we do so we can do it forever! Thanks for your fine hospitality in the StoryCorp booth, Chaela, and the joy of knowing you. Come back to Western North Carolina which we believe is a very special corner of the world - as the old Irish drinking song goes "We're not a man you meet everyday..." And many thanks for bringing Max to the internet - he indeed is not a man you meet everyday...
