If I were full of B.S., I could have agreed to the task and then signed my name to a product made by someone else in my shop, but that is not the way I do business," he added.Īs Offerman told Backstage, he takes a similar approach to an acting role as he does to handcrafting a coffee table. "Anything I build - whether it's a back porch or a set for 'Macbeth' or an heirloom dining table or the role of Bottom - I approach with the same reverence," he said.
While the shop takes on custom orders for clients, there's one custom job he still regrets turning down: "The wooden canoe that David Letterman asked me to make him while I sat on his television program," Offerman lamented to Vanity Fair. "It was not that long ago in my life that I would have run a mile over broken glass to achieve such a commission." Instead, he was forced to turn Letterman down because his dance card was too full of acting roles.
