Cedar
Works was founded in Adams County by Jim Obenshain in 1976.
The availability of aromatic red cedar in the area made it
an ideal location for our company. Fencing was one of the
first items produced, but mailbox posts later became the
mainstay of the business. Sales gradually expanded from
local hardware stores to regional hardware
chains.
other accessories added in 1987. In the late 80's, our
products were sold in many hardware and home center stores
east of the Rockies.
Cedar Works built a new production and warehouse facility in 1988 outside of Peebles, Ohio in the beautiful southern part of the state. A new product line, bird feeders and bird houses, combined with sales to new outlets brought much growth through the 90's.
