Entertainment Center
My customer had salvaged some stained glass from some windows they had purchased and wanted to use them somehow. I put them to use in this entertainment center which has pocket doors above and storage space below. This piece was done in red oak.

Great service
This Maker has consistently demonstrated excellence in craftsmanship and customer service.
I have 25 years of experience in the architectural door and millwork business, which continues to be my full time job. Red Barn Woodworking lets me keep creating and building projects while I"m away from work.
I like to work with domestic hardwoods and softwoods. Most of my cabinet type work has been in oak, both quartersawn and plain sawn. When taking on a new project, I prefer that the customer has ideas that they would like to see in their project.

For custom insert pieces for a old jukebox I am refurbishing5.0I am very pleased with the work that Jim did for me and would strongly recommend him to other potential customers. Jim finished this project earlier than I expected and his craftsmanship was outstanding. The quoted price was extremely fair and he hand-delivered my items to me and checked to make sure that they fit in the jukebox I am refurbishing. I am very pleased to have contracted Jim through Custom Made and I am completely satisfied with this experience.

For Office desk5.0Love It !!! We wanted to make the desk look as if it was gotten the same time the other furniture was. Jim came to the house took measurements of existing furniture he matched it perfectly. He kept us up to date with pictures. We even went to see the project several times. We decided to put hardwood floors in and need to match the color. Jim was more than accommodating. Love It!!! My vision of my desk has finally come to life. Thank You:)

For rolling litter box5.0Jim does excellent work I am very pleased with the rolling litter box cart he made for me. I’ve had it for almost two weeks and I keep seeing construction details I never even expected. I’m so glad I went Custom Made. So worth the cost. He should sell something like this on the open market. Background: I had a nightstand style litter box made of MDF. It took up floor space but served no other function. I asked Jim to make me a litter box on wheels so I could move it to clean underneath. I also wanted a hidden shelf behind the door to hold the scooper, dust pan, etc., in addition to a drawer to hold misc. bathroom stuff. This made the cart counter height, just tall enough to fit flush with our bathroom vanity. He also attached a coordinating towel rack to hang a hand towel and washcloth on. He also made a step for the cats as the entrance seemed high and we have an older cat. Human Feedback: Great work Jim! I’m so glad we went with stain instead of paint. I love that now I have extra counter space. I love that the drawer pulls out all the way without falling out so I can see what’s in back. Feline Feedback: Favorite litter box in the house. Like the step. Great vantage for hanging out.
