Buffelen Woodworking occupies the same location in Tacoma, Washington where we started in 1913, nearly 100 years ago. Some of the original buildings are still in use, and all of the craftsmanship and dedication to quality that’s the foundation of our reputation remain.
That’s where the similarity ends. Today those buildings house a state-of-the-art manufacturing plant capable of producing seven different profiles simultaneously, using virtually any species of wood (we stock 14 species on a daily basis). And every door is built with the kind of precision yesterday’s craftsman worked a lifetime to achieve. Lasers, CAD engineering, and CNC controlled machinery combine with the joiner’s touch to produce doors that fit right the first time and are engineered to last several lifetimes.
