Home > Company


Our Mission Statement:
Western Dovetail is committed to providing woodworkers and cabinetmakers across America with the highest quality custom made dovetail drawers in the most efficient manner possible. Western Dovetail strives to make every aspect of our relationship with our customers as rewarding as possible. It is our goal at Western Dovetail to help our customers become more profitable and more efficient by strategically outsourcing the more complex components of custom cabinetry, such as Dovetail Drawers.



Western Dovetail moved into the old "Jointer's Shop" at Mare Island in August of 2003. The 100 year old building on the former Navy base has a long history of woodworking. Some of the original equipment is still in use, including the central dust collection. This historic facility allows the company to stock more materials, reduce lead-time and offer more options while maintaining all operations in-house. Western Dovetail is now even more prepared to meet the growing demand for dovetail drawers without sacrificing quality.




Western Dovetail joined the early pioneers in the GREEN movement to become America's first FSC certified dovetail drawer company in 1998. Since the company began, a constant effort has been made to be responsible about the materials used and the waste that is generated. Many materials are available to make drawers that are certified meet FSC chain of custody requirements.


Drawer Tip

If the drawer is to be used as a "Pull-Out" with an exposed front, it should be noted accordingly and a PREMIUM front will be used.
