Henley Custom

We recently had the opportunity to partner with Crossland Heavy Contractors on their new headquarters in Columbus, Kansas—and this was a project we’re incredibly proud of.

From the start, the goal was to create pieces that weren’t just functional, but meaningful—custom-built elements that reflect the identity, craftsmanship, and grit that define Crossland’s work. Our team designed and built each piece from the ground up, ensuring every detail aligned with the vision for their new space.

Projects like this are what we love most—collaborating with great partners, solving unique challenges, and delivering something truly one-of-a-kind.

We’re grateful for the opportunity and excited to share a look at the finished product.

We’re proud to see our work featured in this story! It’s a special moment for our team to have crafted the custom display cases used to showcase this incredible exhibit.

As a Native-owned business, projects like this mean more than just fabrication—they represent craftsmanship, heritage, and the opportunity to help preserve history for future generations.

We’re grateful to be part of something so meaningful and to see our work helping bring history to life.

The Peoria Riverfront Museum's Center for American Decoys tells the story of a truly indigenous American art forms: decoy carving.

The decoy, which may have begun to suit a purely utilitarian purpose, in bringing ducks to the water for hunting, has taken on a new life as fine art, carved and painted for beauty, as well as function.
