Yorecraft
Company began in 1976 and has enjoyed varied art and craft based ventures
throughout its history. Tom, the creator of Yorecraft, has been
involved in ceramics, willow furniture manufacturing, owned a pewter
foundry, and in 1999, was commissioned to point up (enlarge to scale) a 48
inch tall bronze statue of Arnold Schwarzenegger. This was the birthplace of
the products we are so excited about. New owners, Allen & Linda
Johnsen look forward to carrying on the tradition of making and selling
Yorecraft scroll saw files.
There was a need for something to shape the base structure of foam,
hardboard and clay. The initial cuts were made with the scroll saw, but
needed shaping and refining. The resulting invention filled all the needs of
this project and countless others.
Yorecraft scroll saw files are made using a tempered spring steel core and
silicon carbide abrasive, one of the hardest commercially available
materials. Silicon carbide is known for its high strength, exceptional
abrasion and wear resistance.
Since its beginning, uses for Yorecraft scroll saw files and craft files
continue to appear. Craftsmen have used them on turnings, carvings, models,
gourd art, soapstone, ceramics, fretwork, hard and soft woods, and the list
goes on.
Our goal is to make Yorecraft Company one of the best and most reliable
craft accessory suppliers in the world. We want to be someone our customers
enjoy doing business with and look forward to our new product additions.
