DOUGLASVILLE, Ga. - GeorgiaChron -- Established in 2006 by master woodcrafter, Andy Smallwood, Douglas County-based Smallwood Custom & Commercial Cabinets has a new proprietor at the helm and a new name on its workshop marquee. While Smallwood will stay on in the role of president, he is honored to welcome Army veteran and talented woodworker, Ted Kalb to the team as owner and CEO. In addition to a passion for woodworking and a genuine affinity for customer service, Kalb brings with him a new brand image for the company – now named Southern Oak Woodwork. Besides the new name, the rebrand includes a new logo, new website and exciting new direction for the company.

"We chose Southern Oak Woodwork for the company name, not only because oak is an excellent wood for cabinet making," said Kalb. "Strong and lasting, a southern oak has a deep taproot – which speaks to the legacy Andy has built, and lateral roots that spread out in all directions – which speaks to our vision of the future. Luxury cabinet making for residential and commercial clients will always be at the heart of what Southern Oak is all about, but we are exploring smart growth that will highlight the talents of our experienced team of craftsman in a broader way for the benefit of the clients we serve. What will never change is our use of the finest materials, the quality of our work and our dedication to the delivery of incomparable service – from project start to finish."
