Since 1978 , I have designed and made furniture and functional objects , mostly made of wood , usually one-of a-kind or in very limited editions . While many of my projects posted on CustomMade have a lighthearted and whimsical flavor , I have also built many pieces in traditional styles too . I use the best materials and construction methods in every piece , then apply durable finishes to withstand everyday use . I often work with designers and directly with clients to create a unique piece to fill a particular need or space in their home or office. I love to collaborate!
A guide to the best items from the best makers and the stories behind them.

For a side table that would hold a suitecaseMichael Creed exceeded my expectations every step of the way. From the first step of discussing the design of the table to how to best ship the table he was clear and concise in his communication and very open to my input. I picked him because of the unique pieces I had seen displayed on the Custom Made site. The table he designed for me is beautiful and will be cherished for years to come. He is a very talented craftsmen and I would highly recommend him to anyone that was interested in having him design and build a timeless piece of furniture for them.
