Boyd Hutchison was raised in Ohio, where his early passions included forests and wood. He holds four degrees in forest-related subjects, including a doctorate in forest meteorology from Yale University. After retiring from a 26-year career in forestry research, Boyd developed his woodworking hobby into a full-time business, specializing in reproductions and adaptations of period furniture.
