This roundup covers small businesses that make or sell physical products under the Spurlin name, or that were founded by people named Spurlin. It is drawn from the businesses' own pages and marketplace listings. Inclusion is not an endorsement, and details may be out of date.
Woodworking and crafts
- Spurlin Woodworking, LLC of Grovetown, Georgia, describes itself on Facebook as a wood turner making handcrafted wooden and resin pens and other small wooden and resin objects, and shows its work on Instagram.[1][2] Its Etsy shop, open since 2018, had recorded 207 sales, and a December 2025 notice said it was temporarily closed.[3] See Spurlin Woodworking.
- Ken Spurlin of Nevis, Minnesota, makes wooden puzzle boxes; see Ken Spurlin puzzle boxes.
Ceramics
- RomAmericabyCalvin, an Etsy shop run by Calvin Spurlin since 2017, sells hand-painted porcelain cremation urns, keepsake urns and small boxes, many decorated with roses, magnolias or sunflowers. On the shop page Spurlin describes himself as an Alabama native who worked in government for many years. He writes that after a 1995 mission trip to Romania he formed a company, RomAmerica, to give Romanian artists a way to earn a living, and that its small factory in Romania makes the porcelain, which he paints or embellishes after it is imported. In September 2026 the shop had about 80 listings and 183 sales.[4] For the historic Spurlin pottery name, see Spurlin Ceramics.
Farm goods
- Spurlin Homestead Farm has a website, but when checked it gave only contact details, with no product or location information.[5]
Apparel
- The Shirt Shop in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, is not Spurlin-branded but was founded by Charles Spurlin in August 1979, during his last year at the University of Alabama. It sells menswear and Alabama game-day clothing, including its own "Elephant Wear" line. It has been owned by Bethany Triplett since February 2022.[6] Charles A. Spurlin registered an elephant logo as a US trademark for the shop's clothing in 2008.[7] A 2021 application to register the shop's name, later abandoned, claimed first use in August 1979.[8]
Services (for completeness)
Several photographers trade as "Spurlin Photography" or "Spurlin Photo". These are services rather than products.[9][10]
