Welcome to our workshop

Where your home deserves
the grain of something real

Custom woodwork handcrafted in Kasota, Minnesota — from furniture that becomes family heirlooms to cabinetry built to outlast us all.

We don't just build with wood — we listen to it

Squirrel's Nest Woodworking began as a one-person pursuit in a rented garage, driven by the belief that a well-made piece of furniture carries a quiet dignity that mass production can never replicate.

Today, our Kasota workshop is home to a small team of craftspeople who treat every board, joint, and finish as a promise to the person who will live with it for decades. We work primarily with domestic hardwoods — walnut, cherry, maple, and white oak — sourced from sustainable mills within the region.

Whether it's a dining table for Sunday dinners or built-in shelving for a study, we approach each commission with the same care: measuring twice, cutting once, and leaving nothing to chance.

Craftsmanship

Crafted to fit your life

Every project begins with a conversation — about how you live, what you need, and the story you want your space to tell.

Custom Furniture

Dining tables, coffee tables, beds, desks, and chairs — designed around your space and built from choice hardwoods with joinery that lasts generations.

Cabinetry & Built-ins

Kitchen cabinets, bookshelves, entertainment centers, and window seats — tailored to your exact dimensions and finished to complement your interior.

Doors & Millwork

Interior doors, crown molding, baseboards, wainscoting, and trim — crafted to match existing architecture or introduce a fresh character to any room.

Restoration & Repair

Breathing new life into inherited pieces — regluing joints, refinishing surfaces, and repairing damage while preserving the character your furniture has earned.

Outdoor & Deck Projects

Decking, pergolas, garden benches, and exterior furniture — built with weather-resistant species and finishes designed to withstand the Minnesota seasons.

Design Consultation

Not sure where to start? We offer in-depth consultations to help you visualize materials, styles, and layouts before a single cut is made.

From idea to finished piece

Every project follows a clear, collaborative path — so you always know what to expect and when.

01

Consultation

We meet — in person or by phone — to discuss your vision, space, budget, and timeline. No pressure, just a honest conversation about what's possible.

02

Design & Selection

We draft detailed plans and help you choose the right wood, finish, and hardware. You'll see exactly what your piece will look like before we cut.

03

Crafting

Your piece is hand-cut, joined, and finished in our Kasota workshop. We keep you updated along the way — this isn't a black box.

04

Delivery & Install

We deliver and install your finished piece with care, making sure it fits perfectly and you're completely satisfied with the result.

What our clients say

We asked for a dining table that could handle daily life and still look beautiful. What they delivered exceeded everything we imagined — it's now the centerpiece of our home.

The built-in bookshelves they designed for our library are absolutely stunning. Every joint, every shelf — you can feel the intention in every detail.

They restored my grandmother's dresser and it looks as though it came out of the original shop — only stronger. I'm grateful beyond words for what they did.
