"We design and engineer the woodworking challenges that require perseverance and attention to detail."
Iron Shore, Inc. was founded in February of 2000 by Gerry and Karen Cormier. Gerry has been working in and around woodwork for over forty-five years — developing first-hand experience interfacing with clients, drawing designs, and carrying each project's vision to fruition.
His body of work spans the country's most distinguished institutions: Harvard, Stanford, the JFK Presidential Library, Groton Hill Music School, the George Rockwell Museum, and Phillips Academy — alongside private residences on Cape Cod, the Yellowstone Country Club in Montana, and throughout greater New England.
Iron Shore works with architects and clients to design custom woodwork that is ergonomic, exceptional, and tailored to the end user. Where the design calls for it, we seamlessly integrate metal without compromising the aesthetic. From casework and running trim to signature custom features, we engineer shop drawings and coordinate full fabrication and installation.

Every project begins with listening. We take on work that challenges us — institutional commissions, bespoke residences, and one-of-a-kind pieces that push the possibilities of wood and craft.
From the hushed corridors of a university library to the grand scale of a performance venue, we bring the same meticulous attention to detail to every institutional and commercial environment.
Your home is the most personal canvas. We design and build kitchens, built-ins, custom furniture, and architectural elements that reflect how you actually live — and that will outlast trends by generations.
Some work defies easy categorisation. Altar screens. Integrated metalwork. Spaces where wood and architecture must perform as one. These are the commissions we treasure most.
