Raw Beauty Woodcrafts

Raw Beauty Woodcrafts is a small woodworking shop run by Al Lindroth in Brookfield, Connecticut, making handmade cedar planters, bench planters, garden benches, birdhouses and seasonal accents. Pieces are built one at a time from cedar, which resists insects, rot and weather, and are left raw unless painted. Sizes range from small mini planters to four-foot benches and raised beds. Custom orders are welcome, with sizing based on where the piece needs to fit; custom pieces take about two weeks and require a 50% deposit. Pickup is available in Brookfield, with local delivery offered for $5.
