Saint John’s Abbey Woodworking
For over 150 years, Saint John's Abbey Woodworking has crafted furniture in much the same way. Utilizing wood from our own forest and traditional woodworking techniques, generations of monks and local craftsmen have designed and created custom furniture that is distinct and made to last. Today our shop seeks to honor this legacy by giving witness to the value of manual labor, stewardship and the perpetuation of craft in the 21st century.
