American Society of Cabinet Makers

The American Society of Cabinet Makers (ASCM) was a professional organization founded in 1914 that aimed to advance the craft of cabinet making and woodworking. It provided members with standards, training, and resources to improve skill and promote quality craftsmanship. The society also worked to enhance industry practices and protect the interests of woodworking professionals. Over time, ASCM evolved and merged into other trade organizations, but historically, it played a key role in professionalizing cabinetry and woodworking in the United States.
