Freshman carves way into business world
Freshman Adrian Bojaxhi carves wood into eloquent pieces.
One freshman decided he wanted a hobby, but somehow, he created a woodworking business instead.
“I would say I really got into [woodworking] this past summer, but I really started when I was around eight years old,” said freshman Adrian Bojaxhi. “My grandpa got me into [woodworking]; he has been doing it for about 20 years now. I saw him working one day and got curious and just started working with him.”
Adrian makes items from rings and pens to intricate clocks.
“It’s just a hobby for me right now, but I would like to start selling [my work]. I would mostly sell rings and pens, but I would also be doing custom work if someone requested,” said Adrian.
Rings are priced around $20 to $25 with bigger items, such as his clocks, priced at $45 to $50. Size, intricacy and design will determine prices for custom orders.
“[Woodworking] was something that really interested me, and I really appreciate the work that goes into it,” said Adrian, who accepts cash payments for his work.

Adrian gifted my husband, Jack, with a beautiful clock he had made for him! It really is a true work of art and we’re enjoying displaying it in our home. A cherished keepsake !
