Foothills Woodcrafters was established in 2004 by Tom Brock. We design and manufacture custom cabinets for residential and commercial applications.  We also provide proprietary products for other manufacturers as well as any woodworking that fits our capabilities.

Tom Brock grew up in the kitchen cabinet business working summers and after school in his father’s custom cabinet shop.  He attended North Carolina State University earning his BS degree in Wood Science and Technology in 1969.  Tom‘s entire career since then has been centered around the woodworking business.

Foothills Woodcrafters is extremely proud to have a staff of workers and consultants with vast amounts of experience and talent.  For many who have done business with “Oyama Cabinet”, they are now associated with Foothills.  George Ritchie and Donald Lail can be reached through this website.  Please see our ‘Staff’ page for more details.

Our 10,000 square foot manufacturing plant and showroom is located near Hickory, North Carolina.  We have many traditional woodworking tools as well as some computer controlled equipment.  Much of our work is performed in the metric system because we believe it provides more accuracy and closer tolerances.  Not to mention it is much easier to use.  Part of our equipment includes a finishing booth which allows us to apply and control the finish of our products.  With all this and our highly talented and experienced employees it is possible for us to produce almost any design.

We build a wide range of products from very high end to more mid range. Our job is not to just build cabinets, but to provide an experience the customer will enjoy.  Our business has grown because of the recommendations we have received from our customers.
