A classic. Lake, pines, deer, shellacked onto a slice of bark-on cedar. The kind that once hung in every lodge north of Highway 50.

For our 100-year anniversary, we worked up with one of the Midwest’s oldest mom-and-pop makers, folks who’ve been carving cedar keepsakes since your great-grandparents were road-tripping in Fords with running boards. These new Wandawega pieces look like the souvenirs they brought home… because they’re made by the same family.

The story behind the company: 
In 1930, John H. Blair moved to Camdenton, Missouri to help build the new highway threading through the newborn Lake of the Ozarks. He and his family, including his five sons, who all pitched in, opened the Blair Hotel & Café and built every cedar table and chair by hand. In the slow hours, John carved little cedar novelties to sell in the café… until the hobby grew into a full-blown factory and the heartbeat of town.

After WWII, the Blairs leaned into cedar souvenirs, salt-and-pepper shakers, keepsake boxes, roadside classics. When gas was scarce, they launched a mail-order business under the slogan “From the log to you.”

Nearly a century later, Blair Cedar is still at it, still family, still hand-made, still cedar. And now, part of Wandawega history too.
