Woodcraft
We operate Woodcraft Retail Stores that sell woodworking tools, supplies, books, and related products for people who build, repair, and finish with wood. Our stores also offer seminars, classes, demonstrations, and other educational programs to help customers learn techniques and improve their projects. We serve woodworking professionals, hobbyists, and enthusiasts who want specialized products and hands-on support they may not find in a general hardware or home improvement store. Our business is a retail store model focused on in-store sales, customer service, and education around woodworking. We use our Woodcraft brand, products, and operating systems to deliver a specialized shopping experience for the woodworking community.
