Every once in a while I run across a board that simply must be appreciated in the form of a cribbage board. If you are going to play cribbage - you should play it on a beautiful one-of-a-kind board. Each of the boards pictured here were made from lumber harvested from a tree at the home of a friend or client that wanted to preserve the memory of their tree.

This Maker has consistently demonstrated excellence in craftsmanship and customer service.
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 TableI had a very good experience working with Amy. She communicated in a very positive and timely manner. She was responsive to my questions and concerns and the final product looks great. Thanks Amy!

For NICOLE's Coffee TableGlessboards was an absolute pleasure to work with. I had a slightly unusual request for a walnut coffee table and two end tables which they happily discussed and drew up for me. Everything went seamlessly, was priced fairly and definitely exceeded my expectations. I really appreciated the photos that were sent during the process! This definitely won't be the only Glessboards purchase I make.

For Pair of Benches.Amy was efficient, communicative, thorough and professional every step of the way, and I am thrilled with the final project. I can't recommend her and her husband highly enough.

For Cutting Board / Sink CoverThis was my first project and the whole process went very smooth. Amy is very detailed and made it easy for me from the beginning to completion.
My project was completed very fast, only within a couple of weeks exceeding my expectation. Great quality and reasonable price as well.

For Modern Farmhouse Dining TableI had high hopes for this project when I first contacted Amy Gless at Glessboards… and she EXCEEDED all my expectations. From the first message exchanged I could tell she was passionate and professional and I knew this project would turn out exactly as I hoped.
The best part of this process was Amy's communication. I received messages every few days with pictures, explaining and showing the process. The pictures were invaluable, as it allowed me to see her vision and request slight changes (color, etc) along the way. She was always very amenable to whatever I asked, even if she has finished with that part of the project. It honestly could not have worked out any better.
As far as price goes, it was more than fair. If you looked at a table like this at Pottery Barn, or Restoration Hardware, you'd find Amy's price to be equal or less. And the quality of her work is way better! And it feels way better to support a small business. A win-win!
