Now, as far as the name Big Monk, it’s certainly more catchy than Pete’s Hardwoods. Big Monk was the favorite stuffed animal of one of our granddaughters, Emily Elizabeth. She never went anywhere without her stuffed monkey tagging along. Emily named the little guy Big Monk and since they both spent so much time out in the shop while I re-sawed turning squares or coated them with wax, and since Emily was determined she was going to help us out, "Big Monk" seemed like a natural fit. That’s our story and we’re stickin’ to it . . . Pete & Shirley Kekel Big Monk Lumber Company
