Cardinal Woodcraft

Cardinal Woodcraft is a small, custom carpentry shop nestled in the South Hills of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Born from a lifelong passion for woodworking, Cardinal Woodcraft is owned and operated by Aaron, a dedicated craftsman who believes in the enduring quality and beauty of handcrafted pieces. Every creation that emerges from Cardinal Woodcraft's workshop is a testament to Aaron's meticulous attention to detail and unwavering commitment to using the finest materials.

Locally Sourced, Locally Built

At Cardinal Woodcraft, we take pride in utilizing locally sourced, sustainably harvested hardwoods. These trees, milled and air-dried with meticulous care, form the foundation of our enduring cabinetry and woodworking creations. We believe in supporting our local economy by sourcing our wood from regional sawmills and sawyers, minimizing environmental impact by utilizing wood that might otherwise be discarded, and fostering a strong connection between our craftsmanship and the community we serve.

Our dedication to sustainability extends beyond sourcing materials. We strive to minimize waste throughout our entire process. Hardwood sawdust is composted, scraps are repurposed into unique scrap wood tables, and even small pieces of plywood are donated to the art program at Aaron's wife's school, providing young artists with a creative canvas. By eliminating packaging waste, as all installations are handled locally, we aim to create a truly eco-conscious woodworking experience.

Uncompromising Quality: Built to Last

The furniture and cabinetry that grace our homes today often fall short of the quality standards of the past. Mass-produced pieces frequently utilize particle board, a material vulnerable to chipping and water damage, and are finished with coatings prioritized for speed over durability. This emphasis on cost-effectiveness often results in products that fade, wear, and deteriorate prematurely, leaving homeowners with unsatisfactory and often costly replacements.

Aaron firmly believes in the enduring value of craftsmanship and the use of superior materials. He may not be able to match the low prices of mass-produced cabinets, but he strives to offer reasonable prices for his expertly handcrafted pieces, ensuring that quality woodworking remains accessible to a wider audience. At Cardinal Woodcraft, we believe that "you get what you pay for." Precision, quality, and enduring craftsmanship demand extra time, patience, and the finest materials. We invest in these elements to ensure that our creations stand the test of time, becoming cherished possessions that are passed down through generations.

Maximizing Your Space: The Art of Bespoke Design

Custom, built-in cabinetry offers a truly unique solution for optimizing space and elevating the functionality of your home.
