Question 1

Where is Legacy Woodcraft & Design located?

Accepted Answer

Legacy Woodcraft & Design is located at 6841 Cruso Rd, Canton, NC 28716, in the heart of Western North Carolina. They serve the greater Asheville area, Waynesville, Hendersonville, Brevard, and surrounding WNC communities, as well as East Tennessee and Upstate South Carolina within 300 miles of Canton.

Question 2

What makes Legacy Woodcraft cabinets better than standard cabinets?

Accepted Answer

Legacy Woodcraft builds every cabinet box from 3/4-inch cabinet-grade plywood with solid wood face frames — while most competitors use 1/2-inch or 1/4-inch plywood. They finish every piece with Gemini Epic Evo, the same commercial-grade coating used in professional kitchens, which provides far superior durability compared to standard polyurethane. The result is custom cabinetry built to outlast the house it lives in.

Question 3

Does Legacy Woodcraft work with reclaimed wood?

Accepted Answer

Yes — reclaimed wood is Legacy Woodcraft's signature specialty. They source 100-year-old reclaimed timber including hemlock barn boards from 150-year-old WNC farms, wormy chestnut unavailable new since the 1900s blight, and hand-hewn oak timbers from demolished mills. They blend this old-growth wood with modern design and commercial-grade finishes to create one-of-a-kind pieces with a century of history.

Question 4

How much does custom cabinetry from Legacy Woodcraft cost?

Accepted Answer

Custom kitchen cabinetry from Legacy Woodcraft starts at $650 per linear foot for painted shaker style and $750 per linear foot for reclaimed wood cabinetry. Custom furniture pieces such as dining tables, wet bars, and TV stands are priced from $3,000 to $5,000 per piece. Full kitchen projects typically range from $15,000 to $45,000 depending on size, wood species, and complexity.

Question 5

Does Legacy Woodcraft ship furniture nationwide?

Accepted Answer

Yes. While Legacy Woodcraft installs cabinetry within 300 miles of Canton, NC, they ship custom furniture pieces — including dining tables, TV stands, media consoles, and benches — nationwide across the United States.
