OF KINGS MOUNTAIN © adfinity Hubbards woodworking art on display at SASI BETH BROCK beth.kmherald @gmail.com Ben Hubbard, Wood- worker, moved to Kings Mountain from southern In- diana six years ago after spending more than 34 years working for the Indiana De- partment of Natural Re- ~ sources. Hubbard is displaying and selling some of his pieces at the Southern Arts Society, located at the old depot on Piedmont Avenue in Kings Mountain, through the month of February. The Arts Society is open Tuesday through Saturday 10 — 4. During his career in natu- ral resources and historic preservation his woodwork- ing efforts were both a hobby and a secondary busi- ness. : Ben first started building furniture when he married his wife, Cathy over 43 years ago. He quickly realized that getting married and finding a home didn’t leave much left over to purchase furniture. The first piece he built was a trestle dining table “because we had to have a place to eat,” he grinned. From there, he just started building what- ever furniture he needed. Al- though Hubbard utilized some of his carpentry skills learned from his carpenter father, much of his wood- working is self-taught. He is a professional forester by education (Pur- due University) as well as the son of a carpenter, both of which help to explain his life-long love affair with Sisk-Butler funeral Home We offer complete economy funeral packages and we honor existing pre-need funeral plans. 704-629-2255 www.siskbutier.com Ben with one of his pieces on display at the Natural Beauty Art Show at the Southern Arts Gallery. wood. As an artisan, Ben de- signs and creates both tradi- tional and contemporary furniture, wooden boxes, cases and signs. Ben started out copying traditional pieces that he liked. As he gets older he likes original ideas. Hubbard said that he can’t draw de- signs, but he looks at a piece of wood and visualizes how something would look made from the wood. Ben seldom has to throw any of his creations away. He describes himself as fru- gal, not cheap. If he starts on a piece, and it doesn’t turn out like he had hoped, he will dismantle it and build something else out of it. Then if he still can’t use some of the wood, he will throw it away. . Besides building remark- able pieces of art, Ben en- joys restoring old houses. He will work on one at a time, doing all the restorations himself. When he finishes with a house, he will sell it, and begin renovating another one (Ben calls this flipping houses). Because of the amount of space needed to work on wood, Ben has a shop on Oak Grove Road in Kings Mountain. It isn’t a retail shop because “retail tends to tie you down,” he said. “This way you know who is to Thursday February 14 Kings Mountain Weekend Weather Friday February 15 Saturday February 16 oo Showers - 58° Sunny - 61° Sunny - 45° 0% Chance of 0% Chance of 20% Chance of precipitation precipitation precipitation Night time Low 33° Night time Low 33° Night time Low 23° ~ OneDaySmileDentures ay | ASericeof unday February 17 | : Young CE y | Fast & Affordable $285 Associates | Full Upper or Lower Dentures - come in Family ny at 7:00 am & have dentures by 4pm! | Dentistry i A 1429 North Lafayette Street, Shelby Night me Low25" | www.OneDaySmileDentures.com ® 704.487.0346 blame if you mess up, and who gets the credit for a job well-done.” Hubbard and his wife, Cathy, moved to this area when she was transferred to Belmont with the National Gypsum Co. in Belmont. They started out in the Bel- mont area and slowly moved west, looking for just the right place to make a new home. When they got to Moss Lake, they realized it was the perfect location for them. They have two grown children, a daughter in Greenville, SC, and a son in Aberdeen, MD. Ben and Cathy go to Res- urrection Lutheran Church, where Cathy is a fill-in or- ganist. His woodwork has ap- peared in a number of small artisan shows and galleries in southern Indiana and was also included in the book “Woven Hills and Quilted Rocks, Folk Artists in Mar- tin County Indiana.” Ben quickly got involved with the Southern Arts ‘Soci- ety after moving to this area. He hopes that the citizens of Kings Mountain realize how remarkably fortunate they are to have the Southern Arts Society. The building, owned by the City of Kings Mountain, is large enough to house several exhibits at one time, and can display large art pieces which many other galleries cannot display due to their small buildings. Hubbard said that the gallery is a real benefit to the com- . munity. They have an entire calendar of events and classes which go on through- out the year. He encourages everyone in Kings Mountain to utilize and support the Southern Arts Society. :
