Our Story

 

We are Michael and David Steinman, a father and son team that own and operate Iron Roots Woodworks out of Brooklyn Park Minnesota. We found our love of woodworking over the years building custom furniture for our family and friends. Seeing the joy that our creations brought we decided we needed to share our love of woodworking with others as well, and Iron Roots Woodworks was born.

Michael Steinman
(Co-Owner)

From a young age, CEO Michael, was always taking things apart and putting them back together, fueled by his curiosity of how they worked. He quickly became the go to person in his family, along with his father, if something was broken and needed to be fixed. With an inventive mind he built creations with his father, like a water balloon catapult and glider plane launcher. He learned how to bring these ideas to life using the tools in his father's garage. This laid the foundation for what has become Iron Roots Woodworks. Michael still enjoys designing and creating new things everyday, when he isn't in the shop he enjoys playing video games with his friends and spending time outdoors.
