In 1972, he began work in oil and gas exploration doing geophysics research, development, and technology support. His wife, Ellen, and he lived in Texas and Pennsylvania from 1977 through 1998 where Walter took woodworking classes from a Pittsburgh furniture maker. In 1998 the couple moved to Kingsport, TN. There, Walter made chairmaking fulltime and set up a small shop. In July 1998, Walter experienced his first national show at the Handweavers Guild of America Convergence in Atlanta, GA. Then, one year Walter vacationed in the Southern Appalachians and saw Shaker and rush woven chairs. Inspired, Walter began teaching himself how to weave seats with commercial braided cord with Ellen teaching him weaving patterns and color blending. In 2003, Walther tried hand dyeing commercial cord and later taught himself how to braid cord. Today, two apprentices have joined Walter.
