Strouse Woodworking

Strouse Woodworking Shaker boxes and other functional woodenware made from locally salvaged hardwoods. Welcome.

After many requests, I finally expanded my website and created a page. It is my hope that Facebook will allow a wider range of individuals to view my work in a simple and functional way. Additionally, I hope it will compliment my website, as that is where the majority of information will continue to be located. With regards to my work, I look forward to sharing the idea of combining our b

eautiful hardwoods from Central Pennsylvania with the simple elegance of the Shaker-style box. Most pieces are made to measured drawings of actual Shaker boxes, while others are variations using the same oval bands to form useful carriers and trays. Most of the boxes are made with wood salvaged from storm-damaged trees or through local tree care services. Each piece sold comes with a card including care instructions and also brief information on the tree that it was made from. I am trying to include more of the woods I am working with and the history of the specific trees. Overall, it is my greatest privilege to get to work with pieces that are part of our local history and I hope you enjoy the information about the trees.

Available at the Gallery Shop in Lemont. My new ornament this year is of the Lemont Granary. It is made utilizing wood from a massive burr oak that was removed beside the Gallery Shop. The tree was 150 years old, which means it started growing about the same year that Lemont was founded in 1870.

Each comes in a gift box and includes a card which tells the story about the tree it was made from.

$20

Grange Fair 2025 is almost in the books with a beautiful last day. Thanks to everyone for making this a wonderful week. I had the best help you could ask for, including our three grandkids. Loved seeing regular customers from past years and a lot of new people this year.
Thanks also for all the new ideas of wooden projects for next year. I have a list of ideas that I will be trying over the cold central PA winter.
