About this Craftsperson

Jeff Headley, a fourth-generation cabinetmaker, is continuing the family business, Mack S. Headley and Sons (not to be confused with Mack Headley Jr., retired from Colonial Williamsburg), reproducing pieces of American furniture built before the 1820s. The Headleys’ shop is located outside Berryville, Virginia, in the historic Shenandoah Valley, 60 miles west of Washington, D.C. Jeff has written for Fine Woodworking and American Period Furniture, demonstrated on The Woodwright’s Shop with Roy Underhill, and lectured to many organizations and museums, including Colonial Williamsburg, Mount Vernon, and the Society of American Period Furniture Makers. Jeff was hired as an instructor by the government and worked for many divisions of the military and the Park Service, as well as the White House. He has also worked for many museums, such as Mount Vernon, Carlyle House, Mosby Tavern, and the Colonial Williamsburg Foundation, and has done work for many heads of state and other dignitaries. He was featured in The Difference Makers, published by Lost Art Press. Jeff lives with his wife, Susan, in Clarke County, Virginia, between Winchester and Berryville, with their three dogs and two cats. He also raises a small herd of Angus cows on the family farm.
