We are Lawton and Dani Westergard, owners of Sawmill Designs.  We specialize in custom wood furniture that can be handed down for generations to come. Sawmill Designs has been open since November 2016. 

Born and raised on a farm in Terril, IA, Lawton balances his love for family, farming and woodworking while still managing every aspect of every project, confident that the work which leaves the shop meets his meticulous standards. Lawton has been building and constructing furniture and large projects for the past 20 years. Dani manages the store and helps with the design and finishing process. She has a degree in Architectural and Construction Design. With both our backgrounds, we are confident we can create a piece that will forever be in your home.
