What is now LV Wood was founded in 1985 in Buffalo, NY by master antique & millwork refinisher, Jim Caroll. Mr. Caroll built a thriving business restoring the finishes of priceless antiques, millwork, and flooring in the Gilded Age mansions that line the Olmstead designed Parkways of his hometown. These opulent residences, raised by the industrial and financial elite of the nation in the early 1900’s, provided a unique classroom for Mr. Caroll. He quickly developed a true “reverence for wood” - a term he used often and named his first company after, paying homage to one of the greatest books ever written on wood and its uses, as well as its ability to warm the body and the soul.
