IEW: OUR MISSION

In this ever-changing, fast paced world of technology, sometimes we must slow down a bit, smell the roses; or maybe some sawdust?

Surrounded by picturesque farm land, wineries, and the infamous Long Island fishing industry, we are inspired to create pieces that reflect the beauty of the area that we are so lucky to call our home. We are the proverbial "mom & pop wood shop", located on the North Fork of Long Island.

​
​MADE IN THE U.S.A.

• ​We feel that many long respected traditions and trades in the United States, have been pushed to the wayside, in favor of big box stores selling cheaper items, and furniture/décor that is made overseas. We want to do our part for the "buy local" cause.
• It is in that spirit, and with a passion for creating unique and quality pieces, that Island's End Woodcraft was born.
• Many of our items are even made using the wood from locally downed trees, right here on the North Fork.
• Re-claimed wood from an old barn, always makes for the best creations, both large and small.
• At Island's End Woodcraft, we believe that people have the opportunity to own well made, quality furnishings and décor for their home, at a reasonable price. This is why we NEVER mark up our material. It has become the ONLY way to be even the slightest bit competitive with the Furniture Chains that have most of their items produced overseas!
• And that's not to say I am not just as guilty as the next person of wanting something convenient and quick, so I log onto Amazon and Voila...but sometimes there is something to be said for at least checking the description to see where the item was made, or how about being able to physically go to the place where your items are created, getting to speak to the artist, and maybe even forge a friendship. As we all know, that is where the old term "conversation piece" came from. But of course, we all must first get our noses out of our phones, before graduating to conversation about the tactile existence we have veered away from, in exchange for the "digital world". (But that's a conversation for another day lol)
• What do you think? Should we support our local artisans and industries even though initially it may be a bit more expensive in the beginning? Investing in our own country is something that can never be a bad thing in the long run. Thank you for listening everyone....Rachel Nelson Mysliborski
