Our story
From Christmas presents to 4th Street.
Jeff Lacy, owner of MMWWco.
Jeff graduated from industrial design school and was blessed to work at some of the best companies in the field, alongside talented peers. Wood was never a late idea. He has been building with it since he was a kid — Christmas presents for family, cut and finished by hand, long before there was a shop on 4th Street.
After owning and designing his construction company, Jeff needed a change. Dining tables had already gone to those construction clients over the years. Focusing the company on designing and building furniture was a dream. It is realized now. Most days do not feel like work.
Faith is not a footnote. Jeff’s relationship with God is a huge influence on how MMWWco is run, who walks through the door, and why the work on 4th Street still feels like a calling instead of a grind.
Stromsburg
The shop, then the dining sets.
MMWWco started in 2016 in Osceola, in the Midland Products building — after Jeff came home from California to build his parents’ house. The work grew from furniture to structures and back again, always with a love of metal against wood.
In 2021 the old school shop in Stromsburg became home: 409 East 4th Street. The wood shop is 7,000 square feet. The metal shop is 6,000. Within the last year furniture production got serious — high-end hardwood dining sets in black walnut, ash, red oak, white oak, and barnwood. We mill most dining styles. We specialize in wood and metal.
The shops
7,000 square feet of wood. 6,000 of steel.
Two buildings in Stromsburg. Tops get milled and finished in the wood shop. Bases get cut, welded, and powder-ready in the metal shop. Then they meet.
Wood shop
7,000 sq ft on 4th Street.
The old school shop. Benches, the mill floor, slabs in the stacks. By 2027 the Hud-Son H360 and the iDRY PLUS will saw and dry Midwest lumber here too.
Metal shop
6,000 sq ft of steel.
Tube, pipe, angle, and plate on the racks. Welders and a floor long enough for conference-length bases. Then walked over to meet a hardwood top.
Most dining styles.
Farmhouse, round, waterfall, live-edge, trestle, pedestal — we mill most of the dining vocabulary. Wood and metal is the work we are known for.

We mill most dining styles. We specialize in wood and metal — hardwood tops on steel and turned wood, built in two shops on the same street.
