About Us
Hello, my name is Ben Rupp, and my wife Carol and I are the people behind North Shore Wood Specialties.
It all started in a small town in NW Ohio. My passion for woodworking began the year after I graduated high school. Bill Zimmerman, an "old school" craftsman, took me under his wing and taught me everything he knew about woodworking. The following year I ventured out on my own. In 1981 I started a cabinet shop where I specialize in institutional cabinetry, mainly for hospitals, medical office buildings and schools. Over the next 39 years, as the business grew, so did the scope of my woodworking. This included building churches, office buildings, condos and homes. When asked, "Can you build this?", the answer was always "yes!".
