Unique Rustic Floating Shelfs
These are some shelves we made for our own home. They 'float' on a unique mount that shows the bolts and looks very country. We have since also made these shelves out of reclaimed wood as well. The shelf in this photo is 3 feet long.

Great service
This Maker has consistently demonstrated excellence in craftsmanship and customer service.
Cooper's Custom Projects is a small wood shop where we have a passion for building well-constructed kitchen and dining room tables, coffee tables, unique shelves, entertainment centers, console tables, children's furniture, toys and more.
Ours is a home-based business, so we have lower overhead but still have a high-quality process and facility with a large shop and dedicated clean paint-room.
We specialize in building rustic and homey furniture, but also have experience with built-ins, cabinets, and modern furniture. We also build most of our projects out of reclaimed wood to help the Earth and to give your new piece some added history and character.
Depending on your needs we source new or reclaimed wood from local mills in New England.
Cooper's Custom Projects also has a passion for finishes, both painted and stained. We know that it takes more time to apply the finish to most projects than it did to build it and we love to spend that time making your project look amazing and last a lifetime.
Drop us a line if you have any questions about what we can make for you!

For Industrial-Mill Inspired Desk5.0My desk was exactly what I envisioned. Michael is very talented and has a great attention to detail.

For Unique Rustic Floating Shelfs4.2Happy with Mr. Cooper's work overall. Definitely was worth my time - I have a fantastic custom shelf that is such a near match to what I have already that it's indistinguishable, which I would never have imagined to be possible.
Very professional, great finished product and good value for the money in my estimation. I would happily do business with Cooper's Custom Projects again if I had need for another custom piece.

For Reclaimed Wood Coffee Table5.0I had an idea in mind for the coffee table we were looking for in our tiny living room -- but wasn't able to find exactly what I wanted in catalogs, and instead, decided to try CustomMade. Michael/Cooper's Custom Projects did an amazing job translating my vision from two photos (each with partial components I wanted to replicate) and my project description and dimensions.
He even shared exactly where the (reclaimed) wood came from that was used in the project. He worked with me on stain colors, provided recommendations, and was just all-around a pleasure to work with…because he is local, we picked up the table ourselves (mostly because I wanted to see his workshop!) and he was just as great in person.
In short, I would highly recommend Cooper's Custom Projects for any wood-working project, we're extremely happy with the end product!

For Driftwood coffee table and matching tv stand4.8I would highly recommend Michael Cooper as a furniture maker!
His professionalism, detailed updates, and perserverance shined through the entire project. The estimate and completion date were right on target.
I will happily use his service again :)

For Stained Wood Desk With Specific Dimensions4.8Michael was really a pleasure to work with; he took initiative to understand what I really wanted out of my project, and he provided several updates with photos along the way. The deal he gave me on the desk was phenomenal!
He did an excellent job staining and finishing my desk, and everything came out exactly the way I wanted it.
I ordered a desk (and was going to buy a pull out tray separately) and he offered to make a surface for the pull out tray that would match the rest of the wood!
I would definitely order from him again.
