About
“Every table I build carries a story – whether it’s a lifetime of golf, a championship win,
or a memory worth preserving forever.”
– Gary Tipton
About Gary T.
Gary Tipton grew up in eastern Ohio on a 50-acre farm surrounded by cattle, horses, and the kind of hard work that builds both character and craftsmanship.
He attended Muskingum University, where he played college football all four years and earned his degree in education. For more than 34 years, Gary served as a teacher, football coach, and athletic director, shaping the lives of countless students before retiring in Pinehurst, North Carolina – a community known for its golf heritage and natural beauty.
Gary’s love for woodworking was inspired by his father, who taught him the craft at a young age. Over the years, he designed and built Adirondack chairs, furniture, and custom wood pieces, refining his skills through passion and patience.
A Lifelong Passion for Craftsmanship
Creating Memory Tables and Grand Slam Golf Tables allows Gary to blend artistry, woodworking, and storytelling. Each table encapsulates keepsakes such as photos, scorecards, and golf memorabilia under a flawless epoxy finish – turning memories into masterpieces.
