From Tree to Treasure: Custom Wood by The Path Shelter Store

At The Path Shelter Store in Lecanto, FL, we believe in second chances—whether it’s for people, furniture, or a raw slab of wood. Our custom woodwork service is an extension of that mission: we turn beautiful, locally sourced wood into personalized pieces that carry meaning, quality, and purpose.

Each slab comes from our shelter’s farm and is cut, shaped, or engraved by people who care about the craft and the cause. Whether you’re looking for a unique gift, a custom sign, or something to personalize your space, we’ll help you create something one-of-a-kind—and support the shelter while doing it.
