Lakewood Console Table
A custom made and unique South American Mahogany console or hall table with a center inlay of Crotch Birch. The front apron and the cross banding is from Fiddleback Makore, which creates the rippling visual effect on the front of the piece. The birch was hand harvested from a tree on the shores of Lake Mooselook Meguntic, in the Rangely area of Maine, and is a spectacular piece of wood, with a rich, deep irregular waves of pattern. I specialize in furniture with Crotch Birch incorporated in it in some way. Pricing is determined by woods used, time invested and complexity of the design.

For round extendable dining room table with pedestal leg5.0Richard Oedel of Fort Point Cabinetmakers was so helpful, professional, and creative throughout our design process of making a dining room table. Very professional drawings were presented; friendly and timely communication over the phone, email, and in person to take measurements and see our space; through attention to details and consideration to our project restrictions, preferences, and style. Very appreciative of our positive experience -- and would highly recommend as Richard has a sincere interest in completing a project to the exact customer's preference and specifications.

For Custom Oak Benches (2)5.0From the start, Richard Oedel of Fort Point Cabinetmakers was more than helpful and insightful. Because he was making matching benches for my dining table and my table was so large, he drove 60 miles each way to see it in person, take measurements and pictures to discern the right look. Drawings were presented, a budget was agreed upon and not only was the project delivered on time, but it matched perfectly and the quality was unsurpassed. I could not say enough good things about Fort Point Cabinetmakers as to their skill, quality of work, professionalism and sincere interest in completing a project to the exact customer specifications.
