About Jason
Jason Thigpen started Texas Heritage Woodworks in 2012, with aspirations to become a fine furniture maker. He made an apron to wear in his workshop and soon found himself swamped with requests from other craftsmen for aprons of their own. Eight years later, Texas Heritage has established itself as maker of high quality Shop Aprons, Tool Rolls, and a wide variety of leather accessories for the workshop and personal use. Jason lives with his wife, Sarah, and their three young boys, ages 5, 7, and 10 years on the family ranch in Menard, TX. In addition to running Texas Heritage full time, they also homeschool all three boys and enjoy a life of solitude.
