    2026/03/17

    In this episode of The Faces of Lake Country, we sit down with Tom Dumke, furniture maker and owner of Thomas William Furniture. Tom has spent decades crafting heirloom-quality furniture using solid wood, traditional joinery, and a deep respect for timeless design. Together with his wife and business partner, Linda, he has built a life centered on craftsmanship, faith, and meaningful relationships.

    Tom shares how his early passion for working with his hands grew into a lifelong vocation creating pieces that will be treasured for generations. He reflects on the challenges and rewards of running a small artisan business, adapting to new ways of reaching customers, and the satisfaction of seeing his work become part of people’s homes and family stories.

    A longtime Lake Country resident, Tom also talks about the beauty of the local community, his involvement at Grace Church, and the importance of living a life grounded in integrity, faith, and connection with others.

    Join us for a conversation about craftsmanship, perseverance, and the joy of creating something that lasts.

  • Surviving Bob's Food Tour Second Quartet

    Bob’s Food Tour – Review of Stops 5–8

    This episode follows the second half of Bob’s Food Tour as the group moves deeper into Milwaukee’s food culture, shifting from exploration toward reflection and enjoyment. The journey opens at the Milwaukee Public Market, a lively crossroads of vendors, aromas, and cultures where the group spreads out, discovers new flavors, and slowly reconnects over shared finds and spontaneous tastings.

    From there, the atmosphere softens at Indulgence Chocolatiers, where handcrafted chocolates invite a quieter kind of attention. Here the conversation turns curious and thoughtful as each flavor reveals the careful craftsmanship behind small-batch sweets.

    The mood lightens again at Purple Door Ice Cream, where the tour pauses for simple delight. Laughter grows easier, samples are passed around, and the group begins to savor the moment rather than analyze the stops.

    The tour concludes at Kettle Range Meat, returning everyone to the roots of good food—skilled butchery, quality ingredients, and the traditions that support every great meal.

    Together, these four stops reflect the full rhythm of Milwaukee’s food scene: bustling markets, artisan craftsmanship, shared indulgence, and the enduring respect for the ingredients and people behind the plate.
