Aging craftsman of Ohio keeps copper kettle legacy alive
In western Ohio, Daniel Picking, who began manufacturing copper apple butter kettles in 1874, still runs his bustling shop with six craftsmen. He values self made, aging pieces and rejects women in his office, while maintaining a museum like workspace filled with antique tools and a 100 year old safe. He notes a revival in apple butter making despite modern stainless steel and rising demand he cannot meet.
