About Us
Wooden trunks and chests, from the most simple wooden box to an extravagant limited edition trunk, are perhaps the most universal and enduring form of furniture; they have been with us throughout recorded history. Not only holding history, but valued possessions. Once this piece of furniture is in your family it will always be a valued heirloom.
Chuck’s Woodbarn is owned and operated by Chuck and Sherry Zeller who specialize in the lost art of steam bending wood to create beautiful hand crafted wooden trunks and chests. Sometimes also called camel back trunks or steamer trunks, they are a true family heirloom, a unique work of art, and no two are alike. Emphasis is put on fine craftsmanship and quality construction. We personally design and construct our handmade custom chests from the beginning jigs to finalizing with finishing the interiors.
