About Humming Bird Woodworks
Kitchen Cabinets and Design
Explore our About Humming Bird Woodworks page. We build our custom wood cabinets by hand to suit your home’s cabinet needs, just for you. We build them in our wood shop, that gives each cabinet a uniqueness that you can not find anywhere else.
The Humming Bird Woodworks process
Each cabinet project starts with CAD drawings of the room where you would like your new cabinets to go. We work off measurements of the space to produce a full set of dimensioned cabinet drawings.

Our CAD Rendering
Our cabinets start from rough sawn lumber where we mill each piece of wood into their final dimensions.

Rough Sawn Lumber
Our cabinets are solid wood Construction.
They are made from real woods for any room in your home
We build our solid wood cabinets, for the Kitchen, the Bathroom, the Bedroom, the Foyer, and the Mudroom. They are environmentally friendly, and we wouldn’t have it any other way.
Over 30 years in business.
We have been in business for over 30 years, designing and building our custom cabinets in our shop in Glen Ellyn. While these cabinets are for the world of the future, The cabinets derive many details from the past. We use both wood-pin dowels for our cabinet door hinges, and metal cabinet hinges. Saw-tooth Shelf Adjusters, and solid wood leg glue-ups in various leg thicknesses.
We have designed and installed our cabinets for homes in
Arlington heights, IL – Chicago, IL – Evanston, IL – Glen Ellyn, IL – Hyde Park, IL – Lisle, IL – Oak Park, IL, Roselle, IL, and across the Midwest, and Canada
Our Beginning.

We built the first cabinets in a small one car garage. We have continually grown our ideas and designs into our custom cabinets. These 1913 Frank Lloyd Wright garage doors (pictured above) were reproduced in our current modern facility.
