Pioneer Handcraft
01-27-2012, 01:44 PM
Our furniture, still handcrafted one piece at a time, compliments your surroundings while providing long lasting comfort. Built to withstand the wilds of Canadian cottaging, built to please the eye, and built to surround you in comfort.
It all started in the late 1930's when Frank Preston was working as a chauffeur in New York City for Arthur Judson. Mr. Judson owned a camp in Temagami Ontario named "Camp White Bear".
While working in Temagami for Mr. Judson Frank met a Rabbi who also happened to be from New York City. This Rabbi asked him to design and build a log cottage on Crown land he had just acquired on Lake Temagami. Upon the completion of the cottage the owner asked Frank if he would like to make the furniture too. This marked the beginning of what would become Pioneer Handcraft and the creation of the first Pioneer Handcraft pieces. We still make those original pieces and we still make them one at a time.
