Nelson Wood Shims

About Nelson Wood Shims

Nelson Wood Shims is a shim maker in Cohasset, Minnesota. Wilbert Nelson founded it in 1960, and it makes wood shims in a variety of sizes and styles for contractors and lumberyards. The company has been employee owned since October 2019. Its shims are made from "high-quality coniferous wood sourced from North America and around the globe." Nelson Wood Shims runs its own sawmill, which started in 2015 and was upgraded in 2021. The shims are kiln dried, made in the USA, and tested for moisture content. Each one is also checked for quality and function. It suits a landowner who wants to know where shim wood comes from, not one who needs a logger or a timber buyer to take a tract off the land. The phone number is 800-441-7390. From shims.com, read 3 November 2026.
