The Story Behind "The Big Reveal"


As it is widely known, our patriarch, the founder of Stockroom Supply and inventor of all of our innovative products, Paul Moore passed away in December '13.  His diagnosis came exactly a year ago, hitting us like a brick wall and rendering us completely unprepared for the Woodworking Season ahead.  We had to make a hasty decision on whether to continue with our plans to attend the wood shows, or take a year off.  We decided to push forward.  Ethan stepped up to the plate, attending the shows every weekend and coming home to help take care of our father during the week.  After a 4 month battle with brain cancer, my dad passed away December 28th.  Needless to say we were devastated, but as with many small family businesses we had to look ahead.  We continued with the show season until April, wind knocked out of our sails, but determined to stay innovative and relevant within the woodworking industry.  Which leads us to "The Big Reveal"...


When the show season was completed, we took some time to catch our breath and once we felt sufficiently recovered we began to re-evaluate our business, gather ideas and start planning for our future.  Ethan even began to get his creative juices flowing and new products were beginning to take shape.  After several discussions and brain storming sessions we came to realize that Stockroom Supply still had MUCH to offer, despite the loss of our head honcho.  The decision was made to have an Open House, to invite family, friends and customers to share with us as we celebrated our "Big Reveals".  This Open House was a step in our grieving process, a chance to celebrate our survival through a difficult year and most importantly a way to honor our father.  And so, without further adieu we give to you our several "Big reveals"....
