Get to Know Us
Ryan McClain came up as a union ironworker in Cedar Rapids. Years of structural work taught him how steel moves, how welds hold, and what it takes to build something that lasts. Woodworking came alongside that - a craft he developed out of the same instinct for making things by hand and making them right. In 2022 he opened Galena Mill & Steel to bring both trades together under one roof.
That is what every project here is built on. Custom staircases, railings, and furniture, fabricated by hand in Galena, IL. Every job starts with a conversation and ends with something made to spec. Nothing off the shelf. Residential and commercial work across the U.S.
Built by hand. Installed by us.
Every piece that leaves the shop was fabricated here. The people who built it are the same people who install it.
