Mahogany Nightstand
I originally built this nightstand for my daughter. She wanted something with feminine lines and I used the curved legs to soften the rectangular shape of the piece. It is made of solid mahogany with poplar drawer sides and back. It is made with mortise and tenon construction. The back is ship-lapped and the drawers feature hand cut dovetails. I did not fill the grain since I was looking for a more casual finish, but the table is also available with filled grain for a glass-smooth surface.

Great service
This Maker has consistently demonstrated excellence in craftsmanship and customer service.
It is refreshing and deeply satisfying to purchase something that is made by a craftsman especially for you. A piece of furniture that can be passed down from one generation to another is special. Jim Reedy Custom Woodworking is a one-person shop that makes beautiful furniture in a variety of styles. I use only fine quality solid wood and employ hand carving, traditional joinery and extensive use of hand tools to create my furniture. My pieces aren't inexpensive, but I have found that the bitterness of poor quality remains long after the sweetness of low price is forgotten.

For parsons table, counter height5.0What a wonderful experience! I have been ordering custom items for many years and usually something is not right………..not this time!
From the proposal, which was quick and priced right (and included a computer graphic) through keeping contact re: progress, up to delivery of a table which was exactly to my specifications.
It was a pleasure dealing with Custom Made, and especially Jim Reedy, who reminds me of a 'Vermont craftsman and gentleman'.
I have already recommended this site to friends. - CB

For Dining Room Mirror5.0Working with Jim was an absolute pleasure. We had him build a large mirror for our dining room and are thrilled with the results. A true professional, Jim worked with us through three iterations on the mirror molding and at least two iterations on the stain before we selected a final design. He kept us informed regarding progress from start to finish, and the final product is a testament to his expertise as a woodworker. Jim gets five stars across the board.
