Campana Woodworking [link to Contact Us Page] was established in 1978, offering high-quality furniture repair, refinishing, and custom built furniture in Elbun, IL. Our local clients of the Geneva, St. Charles, and the Batavia area, along with all of Chicagoland have known our passion for producing the high quality in custom furniture, repair, design, and service.
Building and furniture repair is an art that must be practiced continually. Quality in handcrafted custom-built furniture and repair is backed-up with excellence in service. Creating what the customer conceives of and wants is fundamental. The challenge is to develop our customer's concept to create a unique piece that is specific to your tastes and wants.
Achieving this client-oriented process gives each piece that "personalized look." Anyone can cut wood and put some urethane on it calling it custom, or hot glue a part or joint together for a temporary fix. At Camana Woodworking our high-quality custom built furniture highlights our attention to detail as well as the craftsman art of repair and construction we put into every piece.

Please understand, Chinese craftsmen build specialty woodworking products in a truly unique way.
The entire chair is assembled at once, not in steps.
All the joints interlock and support each other eliminating any mechanical fasteners such as nails and screws.
Thus, if one joint were to fail, in order for the chair to come apart, many of the joints would have to fail at the same time.
This chair was broken but not apart.
This got me to thinking about how I build furniture and repair furniture and the techniques employed.

So, one day I was repairing a chair that had been in a tragedy and thought I'd show some of the repair in pictures.
Note that this account shows a limited number of techniques but may be interesting.
Please also note the picture showing what you do NOT want to see used on your chairs- screws.
It is important to understand that nothing beats the time honored methods of good fitting joints and proper glue application.

The photos presented here are divided into 6 groups.
They are: New Furniture, Repaired & Refinished, Custom King Size Bed, Specialty Products, Whimsey Boxes (for fun) and Cabinets (an example of past work for your interest).
The goal here is not to show every project completed over the past forty years.
Rather, to demonstrate the range of projects and the quality achieved.
For new work, design is driven by you, the client, and the quality is delivered by me, the craftsman.
The challenge of executing the design is readily accepted by me.

When people come to me with furniture construction projects, often they have an idea as to what they want.
It is usually a mental picture that needs to be "firmed-up" with a good deal of discussion and chicken-scratch drawings.
The process can take some twists and turns- a small change here and a tweek there.
But always, the process ends with that all telling smile upon the client's face that says, " ah, yes, that is what I wanted."
It is a great feeling for me and them.
The couple that ordered this bed was quite willing to be involved and take the time to explain and discuss what they saw as the final product during all phases of this project.

For your information, we can produce custom built-in cabinets also and have for years.
Feel free to ask.
I'm here to help the customer whether producing what they want or getting them to someone else that can help.
This project truly demonstrates many of the fine features you can receive from Campana Woodworking and others not mentioned.
The cabinets are also fit to the wall using no filler pieces or trim to hide shoddy craftsmanship.
We want you to have the best and after 40 years of doing the work, we are still striving for top quality just as the first day in business.
