FMike and John Delnero, owners of Delnero Furniture
Company, saw
the need to create a sub division to teach the next generation
their
craft.
They hope to pass the knowledge and experience gained from the last three
generations on to the fourth. Mike's son, Bobby Delnero and a friend, Justin
Winters own a partnership of Fourth Generation Furniture.
Under Mr. Delnero's watchful eye, they've made each piece seen on this
website.
Bobby
Delnero
Beginning with cutting shapes on the band saw for his Dad, Bobby has been working in the shop since he was 6. Just recently he’s started to turn wood knobs for
projects on the lathe. He is 16 years old and hopes to increase his wood
working skills so that one day, he may continue his father’s business.
Justin Winters
After graduating from high school, Justin came to the Delnero
Company to work under Mr. Delnero as an apprentice. While his experience
was limited to home projects and more along the lines of home
improvement, Justin is learning fast and has had his hand in all the
projects that Fourth Generation Furniture has made. Justin hopes to
eventually support a family through wood crafting and continue passing
the craft on to his future children.
Company Philosophy
This passing of the torch, so to speak, is the foundation of our
company. We are the Fourth Generation to continue our father’s business
and learn their craft... a craft that we hope will continue after we’re
gone. We envision our children continuing to build quality hand crafted
furniture and improve upon what we’ve made.
We also intend to pass on to future generations good business and family
values, of which many are being lost. Values such as:
- quality goods- made to last and withstand the test of time,
- custom built and refined work- not manufacturer’s duplicates,
- friendly and courteous service, as well as allowing your customer to see how their projects are made,
- and finally, a willingness work and learn old ways to
produce better furniture.
And with that, we would like to thank you for taking the time to read
this and hope that you've enjoyed it.
