Western Dovetail Inc. is family owned and operated. Western Dovetail was founded 1993 by Maxfield Hunter, the president and CEO. Josh Hunter, Max’s brother, has also been with the company from the start. Max and Josh both learned woodworking at an early age from their father, George Hunter, who has contributed a lifetime of woodworking knowledge and experience to the company. George has an extensive background in architecture, model-making, graphic design, fine art and woodworking. He began his woodworking career in 1975 making custom craftsman style furniture and later continued making high end custom millwork and cabinetry. Max and Josh spent many years learning everything they could about cabinetry, furniture and millwork before starting the drawer business. Max has been developing the products and services since the beginning, and Josh Hunter, Max’s brother, has maintained the equipment and facility for many years. George, Max, and Josh have worked together to create the American Dream. They have stuck together as a family and raised a business from the ground up for over thirteen years. George has always insisted on perfection from his sons, who continue to blaze the trail of the wild world of woodworking. Max has taken after his father in the graphic arts and advertising to define the image of the company, manage the sales and design new products. Constant innovation keeps this company ahead of the curve. Josh has taken on the mechanical aspects of the company and is constantly building, purchasing and modifying equipment for each specific operation. At Western Dovetail, every tool in the shop is dedicated to a unique process, which ensures safe, accurate and consistent product day after day.

COMPANY MISSION Western Dovetail is committed to providing high-quality dovetail drawers to the nation’s high-end cabinetmakers efficiently and accurately, with exceptional service.

The company provides an opportunity for people interested in woodworking to learn valuable skills in a safe working environment. Many of the employees have been with the company for over 10 years.
Attention to detail is critical when making drawers. Western Dovetail drawers are constructed using classic English half-blind dovetail joinery made on a multi-spindle, dovetail machine. The drawers are precisely dimensioned according to the requirements of the cabinets and hardware for each job. Each drawer is then hand crafted with the utmost care and checked for quality at each stage of production. Close attention is given to grain selection and color matching when panels are edge glued and boxes are assembled.
Custom Options are a Western Dovetail specialty This company offers many variations on the standard drawer box. It has always been the goal to provide customers with exactly what they want. File drawers can be made in any configuration and the rails can be cut in and provided with the order. Custom pullouts can be ordered in a variety of designs with scoops, lips and tapered side profiles. Drawers can even be made with curved fronts dovetailed at an angle.

Custom machining for under-mount hardware Western Dovetail was the first to offer custom machining for concealed drawer runners. Under-mount hardware requires precision machining such as notching and drilling and specific bottom placement. This company can notch, drill, and install locking devices for any major brand of under-mount hardware. The staff at Western Dovetail can help calculate the drawer sizes using the customer’s cabinet openings, combined with the hardware specifications to determine the required dimensions. Major brands of drawer slides are stocked in-house and can be shipped with the drawers including conventional side mount slides.
Western Dovetail is Smart Wood and FSC certified. This company is the world’s first FSC and Smart Wood certified drawer supplier. Having chain of custody certification means that the wood is carefully tracked from the tree to the final product to ensure that it meets the guidelines set fourth by the Forestry Stewardship Council. Certified wood drawers are available in most domestic and imported species upon request.
Drawers made from Laminated Bamboo Lumber now available Western Dovetail offers dovetailed drawers made entirely of Bamboo Lumber, which is harvested from well managed bamboo plantations in Asia. Laminated Bamboo comes in light and dark colors and in flat grain and vertical grain.
