Munising Woodenware Company

In 1877, the Freeman Manufacturing Company established a woodenware factory in Kalkaska, Michigan. But when a fire destroyed the factory in 1910, a new factory was built in Munising, Michigan, due to its densely wooded location. In 1911, the new factory became the home of the incorporated Munising Woodenware Company.

The company manufactured a variety of products, including rolling pins, potato mashers, butter paddles and molds, clothespins, furniture, and dough bowls. Munising Woodenware products were sold and distributed nationally by companies like Sears, Roebuck and Co. and Marshall Field & Company. On July 1, 1955, the Munising, Michigan factory permanently closed, mainly due to consumer demand for plastic. Then in 1959 the company’s sister facility in Marquette also ceased operations.

Munising made their wooden bowls out of birch, beech or maple, from forests near the factory. All of their bowls were machine-lathed before drying. Each set of bowls were turned from one piece of hardwood, starting with the largest to the smallest.

Today Munising bowls are collected by many, and the earliest ones can be quite pricey.
