Lion Craft

Custom Architectural Woodwork

Millwork is the backbone of a well-built hospitality space — the casework, paneling, and built-ins that define how a room looks, feels, and functions. Lion Craft designs, engineers, and fabricates it all in-house, from shop drawings to installed work.

Casework & Built-Ins

The Working Backbone

From bar dies and back bars to host stands, server stations, and full wall systems, we build the pieces a space runs on. Boxes are CNC-cut for precision, joined with dados, dowels, and pocket joinery, and fitted with soft-close hardware from Blum and Häfele.

Our shop drawings and finished work are detailed to AWI Architectural Woodwork Standards — tight reveals, consistent grain match, and edges that hold up to years of service.

Materials & Finish

Wood, Done Right

We work in solid hardwoods and architectural veneers — white oak, walnut, maple, ash, and rift-cut species — over engineered substrates selected for stability. Paint-grade work is built in MDF and poplar; high-wear surfaces are clad in laminate or solid surface where moisture demands it.

Finishing happens in our controlled spray environment with conversion varnish, catalyzed lacquer, and hand-applied stains — durable, food-service-ready surfaces that keep their color.
