What makes Wentworth of the Carolinas different?
Wentworth of the
Carolina's traditions are based on quality and time proven
skills, which means that we create handcrafted, quality
furniture for the heart of a home - your kitchen. Wentworth of
the Carolinas is a true romance of craftsmanship and olde world
finishing techniques to create a special environment in a home;
one that is reminiscent of the smells of fresh baked breads and
a warmth created by family values and traditions.
To describe Wentworth of the Carolinas as anything but different
would be a mistake. We build everything in our facility;
starting from raw wood we build our own doors, moldings,
drawers. Each piece is handcrafted. Our finishes are nothing
less than art; Wentworth of the Carolinas uses your home to
paint our pictures. |

Wayne's Story...
Wentworth of the Carolinas is a
culmination of my passion and a belief in the talents we
possess; creating an environment where you are encouraged to
create as well as use timeless skills that have been the
foundation of our trade.
I grew up working on the jobsites of homes my father built. My
dad taught me everything from cleaning up around the jobsite to
how to swing a hammer. In my early 20's I moved to Florida and
worked as lead carpenter on some of the first of many large
homes built in Boca Raton. I started my first cabinet shop in a
12’ x 12’ space, with a 1958 Powermatic saw. Opportunities led
me to work in St. Thomas, Virgin Islands; in the resorts as well
as homes. I always look back to the first shop I had and have a
hard time believing sometimes how that all led to where we are
today. |

Nearly 20 years ago
I met a group of tradesmen from England who designed and built
what is known as the “fitted kitchen”. I spent close to 10 years
studying and learning from these talented individuals. Many
hours were also spent in the museum in York, England, studying
rooms that were preserved, so as to develop looks and finishes
that have an authenticity about them.
I have remained true to my goal of building and finishing what
are amazing kitchens. Based on traditional values and a desired
goal by Wentworth and its staff to excel in our skills, we
present you with Wentworth of the Carolinas, operating in the
heart of Americas Furniture Country. |
