“The greatest Oaks have been little Acorns.”
Thomas Fuller, Gnomologia, 1732
Like the path blazed by a runaway acorn, the creative process is never linear. It’s the seemingly random twists and turns that, upon reflection, made the process exciting and the destination the right one. At Runaway Acorn, we love the creative process. We also love the destination-whether it’s building a piece of fine furniture, a restoration, or just learning and sharing more about the creative people who came before us.

Rick Riccetti
Most often you’ll find Rick building furniture in his workshop, but that wasn’t always the case. Rick is an accomplished technology industry veteran who, with Kelly, co-founded Seapine Software, Inc. in the mid-90s and grew it into a globally recognized software quality tools company. After selling Seapine to Perforce Software, LLC in late 2016, Rick left the tech industry to pursue his passion for fine woodworking.
