Lake woodcraft

The maker

Made by hand. Made by Lake.

Meet Nathaniel Lake

Every piece starts as plain wood and ends up as something you'll keep.

I'm Nathaniel Lake, the maker behind Lake Woodcraft. I build every piece by hand, one at a time, in Western New York.

You'll see the grain, the stain, and the small differences that come from being made by hand. That's the point.
