Zach Jernigan: Jernigan Woodworking
“My dad kind of taught me the way when I got out of high school and then when COVID happened, I just kind of started doing other people's houses and it’s kind of boomed from there.
A lot of built-ins, kind of specialty stuff. Trying to get into the custom fish tanks because we just did one.”
- Zach Jernigan
Welcome to a brand-new episode of the Woodpreneur Podcast. Today, your host Steve Larosiliere is joined by the award-winning Zach Jernigan of Jernigan Woodworking.
