Building more than projects.

Inspired Lumber Workshop is a family-owned Toledo woodshop built around craftsmanship, creativity, community and purpose. We believe in the power of hands-on experiences to bring people together, create lasting memories and make a positive impact in our community.
More than a wood shop. A community.
