From Cutting Boards and Bookends… to Bedrooms and Boardrooms!

A 40 Year, Arts Festival Success Story: In 1972, 13 year old Doug Roeshot decided to sell his handmade wooden cutting boards, bookends and candleholders, at the Central Pennsylvania Festival of the Arts. His products were so successful, the entire family soon embarked on a journey into the woodworking business, and Spectra Wood became a fulltime operation, crafting quality commercial and residential furnishings for over 40 years! Proud to be “American Made”, Spectra Wood products are still manufactured in State College, PA, through innovative and cutting-edge equipment and employee training, successfully competing against the tide of mass-produced imports. Come visit us at our showroom, and see how far we’ve come, thanks to you, our customers, dedication to the art of woodworking, and the Central Pennsylvania Festival of the Arts!
