7M Woodworking

Based in Chicago, 7M Woodworking is a woodworking studio creating functional and artistic pieces from reclaimed, recycled, and refurbished wood sourced across the Midwest. The company deconstructs older barns, including those in Ohio, and uses the materials in new designs. Its work combines rustic, modern, and organic styles. Handmade lighting showcases reclaimed barn beams and live-edge wood. Furniture highlights the character of reclaimed materials through original designs. Sculpture gives selected pieces a role beyond function. Founder Paul Miller developed woodworking from a hobby into a long-term practice, creating one-of-a-kind pieces for homes and other spaces. Each work is crafted to emphasize the natural appearance of its materials while retaining practical use where intended.
