Hollow Woodworks Highlighted in "Missouri Life" Magazine

July 21, 2025

We were recently featured in a piece for the latest edition of Missouri Life as part of their "Made in Mo" section, for our handcrafted wooden puzzles and personalized gifts!


"Jim Beachler and his team at Hollow Woodworks in Ferguson produce handmade wooden puzzles and other products. Customers can order customized wooden name puzzles, puzzle stools, name trains, and toy boxes. If a customer loses a piece from a Hollow Woodworks product, the company will replace it for free, only charging for shipping. Each puzzle is unique, and all paints, finishes, and wood are child-safe and sourced from the United States.


'We meet people at a happy time in their life—either they have a new baby or they need a birthday gift or something like that—and we do everything we can to make sure their product comes out perfectly,' Jim says."


Missouri Life magazine focuses on travel and lifestyle content designed to help you enjoy living in or visiting Missouri. We explore small towns, highlight city attractions, and feature restaurants worth visiting.
