Each GlessBoard cutting board is unique and one of a kind. We don't make our boards just to make things to sell, we make our boards because smaller pieces of beautiful wood should not just end up in the wood-stove. Each cutting board is an exclusive reflection of the scrap wood we have on hand at the time - arranged in a pleasing pattern you will be proud to display in your home. If you have an idea for a board or see a particular pattern you like, please contact me to discuss your own cutting board art we can create together.

Our focus on furniture happened many years ago (25+) as a result of some left-over lumber, the need for a bench by the backdoor, and a frugal resourceful nature that told us to give it a try. The bench turned out beautiful (we still use it every day), the experiment turned to a hobby, the hobby to an obsession, the obsession to a journey… We design and build custom furniture on commission. Our shop specializes in made to order custom furniture specifically for individual clients.

For Farmhouse Extension Dining TableMy husband and I ordered a custom Farmhouse Extension Dining Table made of butternut wood. We had never ordered anything through Custom-made and were a little nervous about making such an expensive investment. Working with Amy Gless was a very easy and pleasurable experience. Amy kept us updated every step of the way, showing us pictures of the progress on our table. She answered our questions promptly and was very helpful and professional in her response. When a shipping problem was going to delay the delivery of our table, she and her husband personally brought the table to my home and set it up for me. Overall, it was a very positive experience and I would recommend anyone to order from Amy Gless without hesitation.

For Cutting boardI just delivered the chopping board made for my brother-in-law's 50th birthday. The entire family could not get over how beautiful it is. Amy Gless made it all easy for us from the proposed idea to the final project. She sent photos of each step along the way. I made a booklet out of them and included it with the gift. It was a 50th birthday, so we wanted the gift to be special. I could not be happier. I hope to have one made by Amy for myself in the future and highly recommend her work!!!

For White Oak Side TablesWe are so pleased with the large custom size white oak end table Amy made for us. The table has beautiful workmanship, is exactly what we wanted and asked for and works perfectly in our living room. Amy is both warmly responsive and very professional and kept us updated every step of the way through the construction and delivery. She took such good care packing our table to ensure that it would arrive through FedEx without a scratch (from Michigan to NY) We recommend Amy to anyone seeking fine custom workmanship from a professional who clearly cares about her work and your satisfaction.
