At the heart of Norton & Family Millworks is founder and craftsman David Norton, whose passion for woodworking began in the workshop of his grandfather. From a young age, David learned that true craftsmanship isn’t just about working with wood — it’s about patience, precision, and respect for the material. Those lessons shaped not only his skills, but also his vision for creating furniture that carries meaning, beauty, and longevity.

Based in Kingsbury, New York, David combines traditional carpentry techniques with a refined eye for design to craft pieces that are both timeless and elegant. With years of experience and dedication to his craft, he has built a growing millwork business that specializes in custom kitchen islands and handcrafted tables, each designed to bring warmth, character, and lasting value into the home.

For David, woodworking is more than a trade; it’s a way of honoring family tradition while building a legacy of his own. Each creation reflects the knowledge passed down to him, the dedication he brings to his craft, and the belief that the best furniture tells a story — of where it came from, and of the families who gather around it.
