Class of 2025 • Last Team Outing
Stop 6 of 6:The Grumpy Grizzly - Grafton, IL (formerly known as Knotty by Nature)
New Owner: Justin Bollini
The students loved meeting this young entrepreneur. He went to school for engineering, but has always enjoyed woodworking. He had items, like cutting boards, in this wood shop since 2018. Meeting him for the first time he seems like a very humble, smart, and ambitious individual.

His personal favorite kind of wood to work with is Cherry and favorite color is Walnut.

Students were amazed at all of the different vendor's items in the shop. This shop has some of the most unique artist created items. If you haven't been in the shop since Justin purchased it, you should definitely go check it out! It looks very different with more vendors and a new layout.

Thank you of speaking with us!
