About Us

Labrador Woodworking is built off of the patient teachings of Cody’s grandfather, Dean Olson who shared his knowledge of Construction and Woodworking that is used every day in the same shop he built and worked in. Located in Cloquet Minnesota, we strive to keep his craft alive while making houses feel like home
