For three generations the Yarber family in Glade Spring, Virginia, have been making furniture. The three brothers of the current generation--Frank, Joe, and Carter-- work side by side, milling wood, then boiling it, bending it, shaping it into the fine finished pieces that the Yarber family is famous for. Family members will discuss the company’s history and the variety of products they have made over the years.
