We love designing custom pieces for our customers. So when we had the opportunity to work with the design team for one of our favorite repeat customers on a new booth design we were thrilled to make them some prototypes. This is a new style of booth back for us with the fabric foldover. Paired with [...]
One year ago, Randall Rivers purchased R&L Woodcraft from Randy and Lori Stangler. It's been a great year! Business is good, we're enjoying our work, we're growing and placing an emphasis on building our team. It's time for our rebrand. Effective July 1, 2017, R and L Woodcraft is changing our name to Minnesota [...]
Next week marks the one year anniversary of the sale of R&L Woodcraft from Randy and Lori Stangler to Randall and Cindy Rivers. While we've been planning the name change all year, it is also the day that we've selected to make our transition complete from R&L Woodcraft to the more descriptive Minnesota Millwork and [...]

You know how some restaurants have ripped up booths covered in tape? It is unfortunate that many booths are so integrated that it is such a monumental project to fix the upholstery. We've found a solution, booths with interchangeable cushions! 3 of our wood frame booth styles; the Chatfield, Osakis, and Lake of the Woods; [...]
We've been constructing bars and back bars for decades. Here are some essential features for achieving the perfect bar display. Attractive and visible liquor storage. Nothing is worse for a busy bartender than an indecisive orderer who is going to draw out the process of placing an order. Make your bartenders' job easier [...]
We love a challenge. This custom walnut bench was something of a dare to us. Pitch Pizzeria, a lovely restaurant in Omaha (that many of us wish was local- following their mouthwatering food pics on Instagram) expressed a desire for a new bench in their waiting area, something of a focus piece.
