“We spend all our time in this room. It’s our ‘cabin on the lake’. Your company created the feel of the North Woods.”
Wood Grain Specialties is a relatively new company in the Cedar Valley. We opened our doors at 1916 State Street in Cedar Falls in July, 2003. Until that time, the company had existed as only a dream for owner, George Lansink. His dream had always been to have a woodworking shop. His dream took on new dimensions as he became more frustrated with the lack of quality in many cabinetry products on the market. His solution to that frustration was to follow through with his dream and open a shop built on quality and craftsmanship.

Wood Grain Specialties is a custom cabinet shop. Each piece produced is unique to the client’s needs. Our products are custom made by experienced craftsmen who create not just something useful, but works of art.

Our specialties include kitchen cabinetry, entertainment centers, fireplace mantels and surrounds, and furniture pieces. The company’s motto “Old World Craftsmanship, Modern Design” best describes Wood Grain Specialties’ uniqueness and abilities.

The Wood Grain Specialties staff includes five carpenters with over 95 years of combined experience, along with a designer/draftsperson. Our goal at Wood Grain Specialties is to provide a pleasurable experience for the client from the initial consultation with our designer through the completion of their project.
