The Blue Ox Millworks is where Victorian craftsmanship of the 1800s is used to create authentic custom products for homes around the world. They have done custom work for governor mansions, national parks, historic cathedrals and even President Bill Clinton. Come to the Blue Ox to watch antique woodworking machinery in operation, visit a skid camp, learn about traditional boat-building, and meet the blue oxen, Babe and Blue. You can take a self-guided tour or call in advance and have one of the crew show you around.
In 2021, the Magnolia Network produced “The Craftsman,” a series following master woodworker and Eureka native Eric Hollenbeck as he restores historic homes and other local treasures at Blue Ox Millworks. Two seasons are available to stream.
