In Appleton, Wisconsin, a farmer and his family have made a significant career change to pursue their passion for the sport of cornhole. Together, they are working to grow their business, Skilled Cornhole, by handcrafting high-quality cornhole boards, bags, and other equipment.
Former emergency medical technician Stephanie Bishell leads the charge in ensuring that every product meets the highest standards of quality. With a background in attention to detail and caring for the little things, Bishell emphasizes the importance of handcrafting each item to ensure it meets the correct specifications and provides customers with the quality they expect.
The family’s journey into the world of cornhole began when Bishell’s father, Howie Wood, discovered the sport while selling horse equipment. Intrigued by cornhole, Wood decided to try his hand at making cornhole boards, which eventually led to the growth of their business.
Bishell’s husband, Tony Bishell, also plays a crucial role in the family business, ensuring that each board is sturdy and well-constructed to prevent bags from bouncing when thrown. By carefully placing screws in each board, they create a stable frame that enhances the overall playing experience.
As they continue to expand their business, Stephanie Bishell remains focused on keeping customers happy by delivering top-notch products with a smooth surface that enhances the game and overall quality. Their dedication to craftsmanship and customer satisfaction is evident in every handcrafted item they produce, solidifying their commitment to growing the sport of cornhole and their business.
