If you enjoy wood creations, Wood Studio has classic pieces for you.
Whether it’s signature rockers and swings or rich cabinets, wood forms the foundation of each item. Before each item is crafted, its base is hand-selected to produce a functional work of art that’s sustainably built.
Wood Studio opened its doors for business in 1986 in Decatur. Interest and business grew, and now the business operates in Fort Payne and Arley.
