custom design & seamless reproductions
Cider Press Woodworks is a group of artists, designers and craftsman who specialize in designing and building custom casework, furniture and architectural elements. We are a custom millwork shop dedicated to providing the highest level of craftsmanship possible. At a time when automation and mass production control the markets the artisans at CPW still make things by hand combining old world craftsmanship with new world aesthetic. Our diverse team of designers can work side by side with you or your architect to achieve the look and style you envision. Our projects range from timeless classics to modern minimalist, each one receiving the same level of detail.

Lowell Slook.Fabrication, Finish
Lowell comes from a very creative and hands on background in woodworking. He grew up in Haycock, PA at what was and is still known by its historical society members as the "ArtFarm". It was here that Lowell was surrounded by artisans of all types, including furniture makers, glass blowers, oil and fresco painters, clothing designers, architects and landscape designers. With his creative sense, he took his passion for wood craftsmanship and united it with the necessity for a "9 to 5" job. Word on the street was that he was shopping around for an employer, Sullivan Building and Design Group knew they had the perfect place for him, its sister company Cider Press Woodworks. It is here that Lowell proves his talent and passion over and over again.
