Who We Are

Alan and Sharlee Sherman of Teak 22.jpeg

We are Sharalee and Alan Sherman of Teak 22.

King David gave an instruction to his son Solomon saying, “Do you see a man skilled in his work? He will stand before kings; He will not stand before obscure men.” Proverbs 22:29 

This is our personal mandate.

We sell “wooden diamonds”— we call them functional “God-art.” We want to put our teak in front of as many people as possible. When you buy one of our pieces, you are investing in an heirloom- they are one-of-a-kind, works of “God-art."

Sharalee and I consider ourselves stewards of these wooden diamonds. We gain your trust and referrals, with honesty and integrity. (And we present an excellent product, without hype!)

Nothing is more important to us than our clients who display our teak in their home, yard, porch or business. We do not take for granted your choice to shop with us!

Stuff we know, that you don’t know,

…that you wish you knew!

Alan

  1. Alan was an award winning vacuum cleaner sales guy (door to door.)

  2. He was the captain of his high school football team in Decatur, IL.

  3. He is a history buff.

  4. He is an ordained minister and certified Christian Counselor.

  5. He loves Newfoundland dogs—the bigger the better.

  6. Alan met Sharalee in Port au Prince, Haiti. She was standing on the side of the road with a sign that said “WILL MARRY FOR FOOD.” He got in line with a cheeseburger and the rest is…well, you know! 🤣

  7. His favorite food is a medium-well cheeseburger with crispy fries and a coke.

Sharalee

  1. Sharalee is a preacher’s kid.

  2. Her first bed was a sawn-in-half radio cabinet (prophetic)

  3. Sharalee started singing professionally right out of high school. She’s recorded several albums, and has done concerts all over the world.

  4. Sharalee sang on Johnny Mann’s Stand Up and Cheer CBS weekly TV series.

  5. She eats pickled herring at midnight on New Year’s Eve, and makes ham, black-eyed peas, and greens with cornbread on New Year’s Day.

  6. Sharalee was NOT standing on the side of the road in Port au Prince with a sign that said “WILL MARRY FOR FOOD.” She did meet Alan there however and…the rest IS history! 😍💘

  7. Her favorite food is…food! She’s cross-cultural in her eating choices. Just—no goat! She won’t eat goat. Or rattle snake.
