About Uptown Millworks
Uptown Millworks operates from the Uptown neighborhood of New Orleans, Louisiana, as a locally owned and operated custom millwork shop. The company was founded by Christian Pokorn, who comes from a multi‑generational woodworking family in Austria and spent summers in his family’s sawmill. After building a career in construction as the principal of Pokorn Construction, Pokorn established Uptown Millworks to focus on custom architectural millwork and historically faithful restoration for New Orleans homes. The shop produces a full range of millwork and furniture, including handrails, flooring, cypress slabs, custom cabinets, moldings, windows, doors, shutters, and turnings. Using time‑tested woodworking techniques alongside modern precision tools, the team of millwrights, carpenters, and woodworkers fabricates every piece in their New Orleans workshop. Uptown Millworks serves residential, hospitality, and commercial clients across Louisiana, with projects in private homes, restaurants, hotels, and historic buildings. The company coordinates directly with customers and vendors on architectural millwork, casework, and restoration work that meets the standards of the Architectural Woodwork Institute, the Forest Stewardship Council, and the NOLA Historic District Landmarks Commission. Pokorn emphasizes building with honor and integrity, describing quality as the company’s entire philosophy. The operation prioritizes local manufacturing to create jobs, sources FSC‑certified and sustainable woods, and delivers finished pieces with its own crew to keep the carbon footprint low. Offcuts and sawdust are repurposed in the shop or donated to community gardens and animal shelters, reflecting a commitment to resource stewardship.
