As five friends with no prior experience in soap-making or woodworking, we decided to embark on a bold adventure to create a unique business combining both crafts. Driven by a shared passion for learning and creativity, we began experimenting with different techniques, refining product development, and learning from local small business owners. 

Through trial and error, we have developed our skills, starting with small batches of handmade soaps using natural ingredients and creating simple wooden items. As we honed our craft, we supported each other through the challenges and brought together our strengths in problem-solving, marketing, and customer service. Our dedication and teamwork paid off as we gradually refined our processes, built a brand, and created a range of high-quality products. Today our business, Woodchucks and Rubberducks, stands as a testament to the power of collaboration, hard work, and the willingness to dive into something new, proving that with persistence and a shared vision, even beginners can create something extraordinary.
