Those who have been in the hobby for a while know that for years, the old Wood Art Co. based in Iowa did an outstanding job in furnishing the hobby with quality wood products.  A number of years ago, when their doors closed for the last time, a void started to occur in the hobby.  This condition was not realized immediately since many of their dealers had stock on hand.  As time went on, things started to get a bit “tight” and various folks started to go in numerous directions.  The eventual sale of the business brought much hope to the hobby, especially with fresh advertising and the eventual excellent web site that posted on the internet.

Unfortunately, that is about where things ended.  A few pieces from “inventory” purchased from the original company became available as well as a small supply of product from the new company.  Other than these few pieces which eventually got consumed, it became more and more apparent that the problem had not been resolved.

As a result of these shortages, some of the “majors” went their own way striking deals with local wood workers and in one case a Junior High School Wood Shop class.  Needless to say, the results were something less than desirable and the condition grew worse.

As a result of our own needs and those of our existing Hardware Customers, some of whom can be quite vocal relative to the quality of products on the market, we began a search for a master Craftsman with the ability and desire to fill the void that had become so painful to those of us needing quality wood products.

The pages contained here in list our offerings currently available as well as some pictures of same.  We fully realize that we have a long way to go before fully meeting all your needs, however, we have managed to put a significant “dent” in existing shortages and are developing additional products on a continuing basis.  Obviously we solved our own selfish needs first and have let you, our hardware customers, steer us in the direction of items needed most.  We welcome your continuing input and sincerely hope that some day the hobby will be back to “normal”.
