Blue Ox Millworks helps transform former governor's mansion into diplomatic center

Eureka Times-Standard (California) -- July 13, 2005 Wednesday.
There's a little bit of Humboldt County adorning the recently renovated Leland Stanford Mansion in Sacramento -- the state's new center of diplomatic function. The Blue Ox Millworks crafted doors, trims and curved moldings for the former governor's residence, where a gala dedication was held Monday after a $20 million renovation. The millworks --owned by Eric and Viviana Hollenbeck -- is one of eight Victorian woodworking shops in the country. The Hollenbecks have built a table for President Bill Clinton and their custom historic reproductions are in houses, churches and other landmarks across the nation.
