History
The prototype wooden glasses were developed by Eric Singer, the idea was then shared with Ryan Kirkpatrick, Daniel Genco, Taylor Murray and Philip Peterson. The prototype was made using madrone tree, a pair of rusty cabinet hinges and salvaged lenses from a thrift store.
Shwood began its operations in a 7 x 15-ft. workspace, as soon as expansion became feasible they moved to a 30 x 50-ft. shop space. In 2010, they further expanded and moved to 6,000 square-foot facility in Portland.
