Memorial Bench
I made this memorial bench for a client who wanted to celebrate the lives of her parents who had passed away. It is made from solid cypress and the inscription was done with traditional carving tools. The client wanted an "organic" look to the piece with an asymetrical back and rough edge on the seat support. The bench is 60" by 36" by 21", but can be made to any size you like.

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 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.

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.

For Dining Room Table5.0Jim built a beautiful dining table for me with two leaves that seats 4-8 people. Jim was an absolute pleasure to work with. We designed the table together and Jim drove all the way from Boca to Davie on multiple occasions to meet with me to discuss the design and the finish of the table. While the table was being made, Jim provided me with regular updates on the progress. Jim is dedicated to his customer and passionate about his work. This is evident in the wonderful craftsmanship of our table. My family and I love the table and we have received many compliments from dinner guests. I have contracted with a lot of people to work on our house and I have never worked with anyone as pleasant, professional, and dedicated as Jim. I highly recommend Jim to anyone who needs an expert craftsman.
