TOCCOA, Ga. - Leon Osborne, founder and president of Osborne Wood Products, welcomed guests Friday, July 20 to tour his Toccoa, Georgia production plant and to celebrate 41 years manufacturing component parts for the woodworking market.  
 
In welcoming remarks, Osborne detailed the company’s steady growth in ‘bringing beauty to wood’. Osborne Wood Products pioneered no minimum ordering for parts and achieves same day shipping on over 92 percent of orders utilizing advanced manufacturing efficiencies.  
 
Despite a devastating fire in 1994 that destroyed 95 percent of the business, Osborne has thrived and prospered through innovation, design and production evolution.  Guests were treated to a tour of all phases of the operation and rewarded after with a Georgia barbeque lunch. 
 
Since 1979, Osborne has been crafting table legs, island legs, corbels, bun feet, and mouldings.
