Justin Burke: A Portrait of a Craftsman

Archived
Written By Joshua Jones

I recently had the opportunity to spend the day with Justin Burke, a traditional craftsman in the mountains of East Tennessee. He specializes in using age-old techniques to create high quality axes, knives, leather bags, and much more. What makes Justin's work so unique is that he is a man pursuing his passion; that passion is clearly exhibited through his work. It was an honor to spend the day with this exceptional craftsman and capture him in his element.
