Last week we hosted the Vermont Wood Works Council at our facility in Forest Dale, Vermont. Around 30 members of the council took a tour of our facility, the largest of its kind in Vermont. It was wonderful to see everyone. Check out the article in today's copy of The Brandon Reporter.

To a certain kind of person—someone as fascinated with woodworking as kids are with candy—the machine shop at New England Woodcraft (NEW) must seem like W***y Wonka’s Chocolate Factory: a place of endless bustle and wonder.

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our founder, Harmon F. Thurston.
Harmon, alongside his wife Maxine, started New England Woodcraft in 1960 in their one-car barn and expanded the company into what it is today, one of the leading contract furniture manufacturers in the United States, providing furniture to our students and soldiers in universities and military bases worldwide.
Harmon was a leader, friend and mentor to many and will be greatly missed by his family and the employees here at New England Woodcraft.
Despite our hearts heavy with sorrow, we are committed to upholding and honoring the legendary standards that were and have always been the hallmark of this company.
Missed, but not forgotten. Not present, but always here. May he rest in peace.
