Bupp Woodworks and Design: Flower Preservation, Live Edge, and River Tables. - Episode 17

https://artist.icoatproducts.com The conversation is an interview with Tina Bupp of Bupp Woodworks and Design, a small business based in McHenry, Illinois, specializing in live edge woodworking and flower preservation using epoxy resin. Tina describes how she and her husband started the business, initially making tables and gradually expanding into flower preservation art. Their collaborative process combines her expertise in resin and floral design with her husband's woodworking skills, resulting in unique, customized pieces like tables, trays, and memorial art that have gained popularity both locally and nationally.

Tina shares that the business began as a hobby while she and her husband held other jobs, but it quickly grew after some of their work went viral online, particularly on Pinterest. This surge in demand led them to transition to full-time work, eventually moving operations out of their home into a dedicated building. Tina discusses the challenges of scaling up, including managing increasing orders, maintaining quality, and balancing work-life boundaries, especially when working closely with her spouse.

The conversation also touches on the importance of using food-safe, American-made epoxy that adheres to LEED Platinum Standards, as iCoat epoxy does, given concerns about imported resins and health standards. Tina emphasizes the sentimental value of their memorial pieces, which often incorporate personal items like wedding or funeral flowers. As the business continues to grow, Tina is looking to hire additional staff, allowing her to focus more on the creative aspects and further expand their reach.
