Blacklumberjack

Furniture manufacturing in the Hudson Valley has a quiet, enduring rhythm—boards milled, joints cut, finishes applied by hand. Blacklumberjack keeps that tradition alive on Buena Vista Avenue, where sawdust and cedar scent the air before the pieces even leave the shop. They shape everything from dining tables to custom shelving, each piece built to outlast trends rather than chase them.

At 180b Buena Vista Ave, Yonkers, NY 10701, the workshop sits just off the main drag, close enough to hear the occasional train rumble by but far enough to feel removed from the city’s hum. Local makers like this one often anchor neighborhoods that blend industrial grit with residential calm, and this stretch of Yonkers is no exception. The address is easy to spot once you’re in the area, though calling ahead can save a trip if you’re after a specific design.

Reach them at (914) 239-3556 to discuss dimensions, wood choices, or lead times. Since they identify as Black-owned, supporting the business also means supporting a lineage of craftsmanship that’s historically been underrepresented in the trade. Conversations about materials—oak versus walnut, matte versus satin—happen over the phone or during brief visits, so don’t expect a showroom vibe.

The surrounding blocks mix small factories with mid-century homes, a reminder that Yonkers still holds pockets where making things by hand isn’t just nostalgia—it’s daily work.
