Shima Furniture is a brain-child of Mr. Morsbach's first love, forestry. The wealth of trees and the beauty of his 450 acre farm in Cazenovia, Wisconsin inspired Mr. Morsbach to share this beauty with other folks. He set out to manufacture furniture made from his trees for people to enjoy. Hans Morsbach is also the author of a most widely read book about forestry called Common Sense Forestry.

While oak, ash and walnut are the most commonly used woods in our designs, we also use about 20 other species. Our trees are harvested in an environmentally conscious and sustainable way. All wood is harvested on our land: We never use rainforest wood.

Many of the furniture designs are conceived by our Amish neighbors. Their religion discourages commercial enterprise and recognition, gratitude and accolades of their creations. Neverthless, we have honored them with the name of our company (try spelling "Shima" backwards). We would like to give more credit to our Amish craftsmen, however, with all due respect, their good Lord won't let us. Just the same, they would be delighted to talk with you if you choose to visit us.
