With RK Wolfgang, you get the kind of knowledge, skill, and craftsmanship that can only come from a century of tradition.
A 100-Year History
RK Wolfgang began nearly a century ago. As third-generation owners, we carry on the legacy of those who came before us.
Our company began as the Saint Paul Statuary, founded by Italian immigrants in the early twentieth-century. In 1950, Raymond Brooks began his work at the Statuary, training from master craftsmen in the work of statue repair, painting, plaster, and woodworking. Several decades later, Ray purchased the company and renamed it St. Paul Fabricating and Decorating. After many decades under the leadership of Ray and his son Ken, Jacob Brooks is now the third-generation owner of this family business.
Our woodworkers continue to use and train in the techniques that were handed down through the generations, while incorporating updated technologies to ensure the durability of your finished product.
Even our name speaks to our dedication to our legacy: R for Raymond, K for Ken, and Wolfgang for the patron saint of woodworkers. We remember where we came from in every facet of our business, and we’ll do the same when working with your project setting.
Why work with RK Wolfgang?
We understand liturgical settings and the tradition, symbolism, and functionality they require. By working with us, you’re drawing on generations of experience designing and building furniture specifically for faith communities and worship spaces.
