After 26 years of dedicated service, our very own Dennis Yamnitz is retiring.

Dennis has been a very important part of our team and someone we can always count on. Over the years, he became our go-to guy for many specialized jobs that very few others had the knowledge or experience to handle, including repairing complex machinery, metalworking, and taking care of countless important maintenance needs.

His experience, reliability, and willingness to step in wherever he's needed has made a lasting impact on our company, & we are incredibly grateful for everything he has contributed.

Dennis, thank you so much for 26 wonderful years of hard work and loyalty. The EWP team wishes you a long, happy, and well-earned retirement filled with plenty of time on the water doing what you love the most- fishing.

Congratulations, Dennis!

We recently completed a very rare and elegant build: a StatesMan™ VP Podium in natural mahogany with blue fabric and trim. One unit takes several weeks of labor and requires very precise angles and cuts that only the finest craftspeople can do successfully.

Handcrafted in Sullivan, Missouri by Executive Wood Products and available through WonderOne.

From our Sullivan, MO factory floor to center stage!

These custom wood podiums began in our shop and took center stage during a commencement ceremony this past weekend. Moments like these remind us why we love what we do.

Crafted from walnut wood and stained in dark walnut, these Counselor Lift podiums were specially designed with two interchangeable magnetic plaques and custom-fit travel cases to help protect them on the road!

We’re grateful to play a small role in celebrating the next generation of leaders. We’d also like to wish all graduates a happy commencement and continued success in the journey ahead. 🎓

We spotted two Executive Wood Products lecterns on the news this week.

Our podiums are trusted by government agencies, schools, courts, and organizations across the United States and dozens of other countries because they’re built to perform reliably in high-visibility environments where presentation matters.

If you’ve seen one recently, there’s a good chance it came from right here in Missouri.

What you stand behind is as important as what you stand for.

We believe the right podium or lectern does more than hold notes. It supports the speaker, the space, and the moment.

We’ve put together a Wood Podium Buyer’s Guide to help you choose the right design, features, and branding for your needs.

If you're evaluating options, this is a good place to start:

Learn how to choose the right podium or for your space. Compare features, materials, and more in this complete podium buyer's guide.
