Heirloom forms. Family legacy.
Ben Mears began sculpting his own forms in 1989. His sons Cole and Hunter grew up at that same bench in Mantachie — raised in the deer woods and on the water. That lifelong love of the outdoors and hunting is what shapes every form: studied from the wild, built by a family that lives it.
