About Us
Northwind Custom Woodworking
If you're looking for the quality of old world craftsmanship with the look of modern artistic cabinetry you've come to the right place.
How it all began
Our founder's passion for woodworking started when he was just eleven years old working with his grandfather in his cabinet shop in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. From how to use hand tools, to running rough boards through the planer to get the right shape and size, Grandpa taught the ways and the importance of old world craftmanship.
"To me, woodworking is an expression of artistic nature. It harkens back to those warm feelings from Grandpa's woodshop; from the crackling fire to the smell of the woodshop, it is so peaceful." - Charlie Mittlestat, Owner & CEO
