Crafting Dreams With Expert Woodworking
We love it when we can provide our customers with their dream.
Cap Wood Products was started by John Cox in 1978 in a small and drafty garage in downtown Waukesha. At first, all work was done by John at night, as he was an architectural draftsman by day. Within a few years, the demand for his work was so great that he quit his drafting job and worked full-time on the architectural mill work and furniture projects that were coming into his shop.
The Move to Genesee Depot
In 1980, Cap Wood Products moved to a much larger facility on an old dairy farm that had been converted into manufacturing shops in Genesee Depot, Wisconsin. Shortly after that move, John and his growing company opened up their first showroom to display their handcrafted furniture. Dining room sets, entertainment centers, and roll-top desks were just some of the pieces on display.
Expansion and Recognition
Cap Wood Products was noticed by other small furniture makers and started contracting to manufacture other lines of furniture for furniture companies. Around that same time, Cap Wood Products put out their own catalog of furniture designs and started selling through independent sales representatives in eight states.
Building a Larger Shop
It wasn't long before a larger shop was needed. Late in 1988, we broke ground to construct our 14,500-square-foot building. Cap Wood Products moved their operations in May 1989 to their new facility in Waukesha, WI, where we continue to design our unique creations. With the added space, Cap Wood Products brought in more machinery over the next few years to produce high-quality furniture along with handcrafted custom cabinets and other wood components that customers had requested Cap Wood Products make.
Our Current Capabilities
As of now, Cap Wood Products has the capacity to manufacture, finish, and package a large variety of projects ranging from high-end custom pieces of furniture for the discerning customer to large runs of component parts for Point-Of-Purchase display distributors. With John still at the wheel designing and overseeing the shop, Cap Wood Products looks forward to helping all customers obtain the quality pieces of furniture or cabinetry that they dream of.
