Treasure State Woodworks continues success despite cost of materials

Located in the center of Clancy is the small-town business Treasure State Woodworks, which is responsible for making big changes in peoples’ homes. Although the cost of wooden materials continues to rise, Treasure State Woodworks continues to serve members of the community.

North Carolina native Erik Smith opened up Treasure State Woodworks in 2013; however, the business moved into its current location after Smith purchased the building in January of 2021. Smith said he is thankful to have “somewhere to call home” and continues to meet nice people from the area.

Although Smith feels comfortable working from the Clancy location, he said the increased price for wood materials has impacted his business. Smith said plywood has at times cost more than four times the amount it used to with the price for other woods rising between 10% to 20%.
