Box 186 Howard Lake, MN 55349-0186 How the greg wood company began: In 1993 I left a career in aviation to pursue my dream to be a custom woodworker. I bought a farm on Dutch Lake, forty miles west of Mpls., MN, and converted the sixty year old dairy barn into my workshop. This is where my best selling line of outdoor furniture, " The Dutch Lake line" originated. I still enjoy building my Dutch Lake line today but get very excited about designing and building commissioned pieces such as dining tables, chairs and beds. Commissioned work allows me to design one-of-a-kind pieces for my customers. I begin with design sketches on paper and a scale model for my clients' feedback and approval. A prototype is the next step for a chair design to ensure customer's comfort. Then the piece is crafted by hand with traditional joinery; mortise and tenon and dovetails. The lumber is hand chosen to enhance the expression of the piece by careful selection wood grain. Finally the piece is given a durable high quality finish. My customers feel that the combination of expert woodworking and unique design guarantee them that their piece is definitely a future heirloom. The lasting permanence of my work and the satisfaction of my customers is motivating and makes my work a passion and a true privilege rather than just a routine for survival.
