Eric Koehler brings over 28 years of experience in production cabinetry and carpentry to Koehler Woodworks. During that time he has worked independently as a finish carpenter and cabinetmaker in addition to performing production planning and prototyping for a number of Maine furniture and fixture manufacturers. Eric initially established Koehler Woodworks in 1983 as a part time business, supplementing his work for mid-coast Maine homebuilders.

By 1985 Koehler Woodworks had become a full time operation, with projects ranging from furniture, cabinetry, and millwork to complete homes. In 1995 Eric took a sabbatical from his own business to help establish a commercial furniture manufacturing business, where he built prototypes and helped develop production planning.

In 1997 he returned to Koehler Woodworks full time to integrate his production experience with the challenges of high quality custom architectural woodwork, including libraries, kitchens, built-in and stand alone furniture. In 2003 Koehler Woodworks moved to its newly constructed facility in Brunswick, ME.

Eric focused on Architectural Studies at the University of Maine at Augusta, and that background contributes to the unusually high degree of planning and detail reflected in his drawings and work plans. He has a reputation of working collaboratively with individual clients and contractors to develop the best solutions to space, design, and construction issues. Koehler Woodworks is a member of the Maine Wood Products Association.
