Sawmill Business Podcast

This week, we’re sitting down with a one-man woodworking company based out of Portland, Oregon, Blacktail Studios. Blacktail Studios is the business of woodworker and influencer, Cam Anderson. In the first year, business was fun but slow… it wasn’t until Cam took his wife’s advice and set up an Instagram account that things truly started to take off. With the account now at 93.4k followers and his services on a waiting list, Cam credits social media to his explosive growth.
