Creating masterpieces that capture the essence of natural beauty
At 7M Woodworking, we believe in the natural, unmanufactured beauty of objects. That's why we create pieces that frame and focus on that natural beauty. Our founder, Paul Miller, is a master craftsman with a passion for woodworking. Born in Ohio, Paul found himself in Chicago after college, where he committed to forging his way ahead in the woodworking world. What started as a hobby quickly grew into an enthusiastic passion, fueling his path to success.
Our Story
The name "7M" represents more than just a simple selection of letters and digits. It has Paul Miller etched into it - literally. The clever marking is an artistic interpretation of Paul's signature, incorporating his whimsical yet composed signature style. 7M Woodworking is based in Chicago and uses reclaimed, recycled, and refurbished wood from across the Midwest. We regularly revisit Miller's roots in Ohio by deconstructing older barns and using the materials to construct masterpieces.
Our Services
We specialize in building custom handmade rustic farmhouse-style lighting and furniture from reclaimed and re-purposed wood. Each piece can be hand-made to meet our customer's specifications. Our gallery showcases examples of live-edge wood chandeliers, barn beam lighting, picture frames, tables, benches, doors, and other projects we've built. Whether you're looking for a unique lighting fixture or a one-of-a-kind piece of furniture, we can create it.
Our Process
We believe that a home should be filled with personality and not just stuff. That's why we take the time to carefully craft each piece, using only the highest-quality materials and techniques. Our process is meticulous, and we strive to ensure that every piece that leaves our studio is a true work of art.
Custom Work
Anything is possible at 7M Woodworking. If you have a vision or an idea, we can bring it to life. From custom lighting fixtures to bespoke furniture pieces, we can create it. If you want to dream up something from scratch, we'd love to work with you to bring your vision to reality.
