OUR STORY:
_______________
Parch-Mint Premium Wood Products began in the 1970s when artistic founder Al Thomas started creating Wedding Parchments as gifts for newlyweds. He continued this passion alongside his career in In-Process Control for a major food company until retiring in 2011.
After retirement, Al turned his small basement woodshop into a business, crafting wooden plaques and mounting parchments for sale. As sales grew—along with the sawdust—he realized the need for more space. This led to the construction of a 1,300-square-foot workshop near his home, where the business found its new home.
At a woodworking show, Al was captivated by a CNC machine demonstration and decided to invest in a 12” x 18” unit. Relying on YouTube tutorials, he mastered the craft and soon expanded his capabilities with a larger 28” x 63” CNC while keeping the smaller one for finer projects. During that period, Al shifted his focus from the parchment aspect of his business to CNC routed products.
Parch-Mint has successfully sold high-quality engraved signs and shelf sitters at craft shows and on Etsy. Due to health concerns, Al has since shifted his focus to Etsy sales exclusively, continuing to offer his handcrafted creations online.
