Description

Shell Lake Woodcrafters is dedicated to preserving our air, land and water for future generations. The practices and principles that drive our company demonstrate this commitment. We uphold them not just to fulfill environmental regulations but because they are the right things to do-for our company, our employees, our customers and the earth we all share.

Our goal is to make the process as seamless as possible for our customers. First we gain a thorough understanding of your ideas and needs through conversation, pictures, sketches or whatever source you choose for inspiration. Next we provide shop drawings and finish samples for your approval, taking into consideration the design, scale, proportion and function of the piece. We encourage your involvement throughout the process to ensure you are happy with the final product.

As a manufacturer of furniture, wood is our primary raw material. We choose to work with North American hardwood, one of the best renewable resources. Because it is grown domestically and near our plant, transportation is reduced, limiting the use of fuel and reducing emissions.

Originally called Beaver Manufacturing, Shell Lake Woodcrafters was founded in 1991 by Lavern Madrow. Inspired by American Arts and Crafts visionary Gustav Stickley, the company was built around the ideals of craftsmanship, quality materials and honest work. Soon his small shop became known for its well-designed, well-built wood furniture as well as antique boat restorations and custom residential cabinetry.

As we continued to grow throughout the 1990s, custom furniture began to emerge as our specialization. Architects, designers and retail businesses looked to us for unique and well-crafted furniture for their clients and customers as our reputation for solid workmanship, responsiveness and dependability spread by word of mouth.
