MAKER FEATURE

This week’s maker feature is Peter Borkowski, creator of Uncarved Block, LLC.

Uncarved Block LLC is dedicated to creating custom furniture that stands the test of time. Our mission is to combat the throwaway culture by offering heirloom-quality pieces that families will cherish and pass down through generations. My journey began as a child in the park district woodshop. This led to working in other shops honing my skills and craftsmanship. The transition to an independent shop was driven by a desire to bring personal vision and values to life. At Uncarved Block LLC, we believe in creating more than just furniture; we build legacies. Our values are rooted in sustainability, craftsmanship, and customer satisfaction. We strive to foster a culture of creativity, precision, and dedication, ensuring that every piece we create is a true work of art. Our goal is to help Fitchburg/Verona turn their houses into homes.

Since its inception, Uncarved Block LLC has seen significant growth, driven by word-of-mouth recommendations and a strong community presence. I appreciate the support from the Fitchburg/Verona area. It's a great and supportive community. The company's success is attributed to its unwavering commitment to quality and the unique, personalized approach to each project. Uncarved Block is making a positive impact by promoting sustainable practices and offering an alternative to mass-produced furniture. Our goal is to continue growing, inspiring others to appreciate the value of handcrafted, heirloom-quality pieces. We invite you to join us in our mission to preserve the art of fine furniture making and to treasure the beauty of well-crafted heirlooms.
