After a long, successful professional career in the commercial woodworking industry, Russel has decided to retire at the end of March. Russ’s background and skillset have benefited Parkerville’s growth and have been instrumental in maintaining the highest standards of quality and innovation that Parkerville is known for.

Happy New Year to you all. I hope your holidays were restful and enjoyable. 2025 was a great year for Parkerville as we celebrated our 20th anniversary in business.

Hard maple and soft maple are both types of wood that come from the maple tree species. While they share some similarities, there are several key differences between them:
…we had received a call from a Lead Shipwright from McMillen Yachts, in Newport Rhode Island. They had started a multimillion-dollar restoration in 2022 of a 34 m (almost 112 ft.) yacht named Maemere.
I have always had a curiosity and incentive to explore and search for unique things and businesses when I travel. It usually starts with an internet search for hardwood sellers or woodworking operations that provide products and services similar Parkerville.
