Vintage Hand Tools and Fine Carpentry

Vintage hand tools and fine woodworking are just part of the story at Short Hill Studio, a workshop in south-central NH. Mike Butler creates custom built-ins and solves construction restoration problems for area homeowners. Jane Butler offers marketing consulting and studio photography. Together they seek out interesting old tools for collectors and craftsmen who appreciate traditional building methods. Read about our business in Monadnock Living and a local newspaper.
