GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. — On Wednesday, October 1, the Cabinet Makers Association (CMA) kicked off its CMA 2025 National Conference by revealing the winners of the 15th annual Wood Diamonds Awards contest.

Gillpatrick Woodworks of Overland Park, Kansas, received the prestigious Best of, Best Overall award for their Residential Kitchen: Frameless Over $50,000 project. Built from blueprint-matched rift-sawn white oak, the design features modern clean lines, maximized storage, and a streamlined aesthetic. Highlights include slab doors for subtle texture, a fluted radiused corner cabinet that doubles as a functional element, brass accents with fluted crown moldings, and a custom radiused island that anchors the space as a sculptural centerpiece.

The Wood Diamonds Awards, now in their 15th year, celebrate excellence in craftsmanship, design, and execution across the cabinetmaking and woodworking industry. Judging is conducted anonymously by non-competing CMA members, ensuring an unbiased and peer-driven recognition of outstanding work.
