Basement Woodworks Inc was founded in 2004 and is owned and operated by AWC (NAC/AW) USN Retired, Sean L. Arnold and sons, Alex and Nicholas Arnold.

I started building Military Shadow Boxes and Plaques while I was still on active duty for friends and the Chief’s Mess. As I approached retirement, I often asked myself what I was going to do with my life after the Navy? How can I remain in touch with those whom I had served with. The answer was clear. Having three children at home, I decided to be a “Stay at home Dad” and work out of my home building Shadow Boxes. Soon after retirement my father, Harry Arnold, decided to join me with my venture. As my children got older and less dependent on me, the local trophy store, Accolades Awards & Trophy, went up for sale. I decided at the time to purchase it and expand my business becoming a full service trophy and awards shop in the heart of Brunswick Maine’s downtown district.
Recently we acquired property in Cooks Corner at 52 Farley Rd and now have a 3400 Sq Ft. retail and manufacturing facility and we have a new addition to our staff as my youngest son Alex, has decided to learn the family business and allow Harry Arnold to retire

We have a full service wood shop coupled with a trophy and engraving shop and show room. We offer 3D Carvings, laser engraving, Diamond Drag Engraving, Sand Carving, and Dye Sublimation. We have also begun to expand into quick turn around embroidery.
