Akin
Woodwork Shop
Located on Highway
61 just before entering the Sparksville community.
This landmark
has been here as long as I can remember, early 1940s.
The first red
cedar bed room suite I ever saw was made here by Mr. Lafe Akin.

I just saw the
page with the picture of this old shop! I have 2 pieces that he made (
a gavel and a wooden round trinket box and they are sitting in my living
room right now! ) and have great memories of visiting there and the awesome
smell of cedar when you went inside!
I recognized
it right away by the odd shape of the building.
That brought
back very fond memories, I think he was the one that made Mom a cedar chest.
If I remember
right Dad said he was a cousin of his.
Once again I
must thank you for the memories!
