From Side Venture to Full-Time Craftsmanship

Craig Vollmer started The 1812 Shoppe in 2021 as a part-time woodworking business. Drawing on his background in forestry and knowledge of northeastern woods, he creates handcrafted pieces, from jewelry boxes and Bluetooth speakers to custom tables and cabinets. As the business grew, Craig moved into full-time entrepreneurship.

Craig has worked with the us throughout different stages of that journey, first while launching the business in Chautauqua County and later with the North Central SBDC after relocating to Marathon. Along the way, he has used advising and research support to develop his business plan, build and improve his website, strengthen his marketing, and refine his overall business strategy.

Today, The 1812 Shoppe continues to create custom wood products for customers near and far, combining Craig’s forestry experience with a focus on quality craftsmanship and one-of-a-kind work.
