Museum Resources is owned and operated by Kerry Shackelford.  Kerry has over 20 years of experience in traditional Historic Woodwork, and Forest product manufacture.  This experience was developed through initially a Degree in Natural Resources Management from the University of Tennessee and then through a traditional apprenticeship of 6 years in Coopering at the Colonial Williamsburg Foundation.  Kerry is one of only two tradesmen to complete this long and challenging 6 year program.

Over the next 10 years Kerry gained much experience in reproducing elements of 18^th century objects and buildings.  He oversaw the purchasing and management of wood materials for the Historic Trades program at Colonial Williamsburg, in addition to overall management of the Wood Trades.  Kerry worked as project manager for several historic building projects during this same period, working with Architectural Historians, Planners, Building Officials, Historic Carpenters, and Modern building trades.

In 1999 Kerry formed Museum Resources to provide these same services and high quality materials for restorations and museum.  Museum Resources, located in Williamsburg, Virginia, has extensive facilities for harvesting, sawing, hewing and finishing materials for restoration projects.  We can provide old growth material in log form, sawn plank, or riven stock.  Species such as White & Red Oak, Juniper, Cypress, & Longleaf Pine are our specialties.
