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 TableThe table and benches she crafted are beautiful. Amy picked beautiful wood out and her woodworking skills and finish work only enhanced the wood. I was kept informed on how the project was progressing and sent pictures of how it was coming together. Glessboards made the entire experience of buying custom furniture very pleasurable. They also have a preferred delivery guy that is just great. I will be purchasing a dining room set next year, and I will be going back to her. I could never have gotten the quality of furniture that she produced from a furniture store-no matter what price I would have paid for it.

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 Cutting BoardThis is my first project with Custom Made. I have been looking for a couple of years for something I could cover my sink with so it isn't exposed when I am serving food on my island. I browsed the "cutting boards" on Custom Made and kept coming back to the photos of the work that Amy Gless does. We exchanged several messages and photos and the project got underway. Yesterday, I received my cutting board which is not only a gorgeous work of art but it fits perfect! I'm very happy with Amy's work and we've started my second project. Thank you to Custom Made for bringing Amy and me together!

For Melanie's Bedside TablesWorking with Amy was pure joy. I had two bedside stands custom built by
A local carpenter. I asked that same carpenter to make two more bedside stands, same measurements only stained a different color. After waiting ten months, and then looking online for something close to what I wanted I decided I didn’t want yo settle and decided to google custom furniture makers and found Custom Made.
Amy was THE maker for my project.
I sent Amy the measurements, a picture, and a sample of the color I was trying to capture. Built to Perfection! I wish she had made my first two bedside stands! Excellent communication, excellent pricing. CAD drawings were emailed to me and different sample stains were sent via mail to settle on the correct stain color with some tweaking. The project was completed a month before her original timeline. She shipped on a Thursday and were delivered on the next day! I was not home to accept the delivery so I don’t know how they were packaged up. No damage, so how they were packaged worked.
I find myself walking into the guest bedroom several times a day when I’m passing by, stick my head in the door, admire them and smile!
What a blessing! Thanks Amy! The waiting is now over.

For Chess boardThis is the second board that Amy has made for me. I wanted a partial chess board to display my 6 large chess pieces and I wanted it to look as though it were broken. I loved that Amy could see my vision and gave my project life. I have a one of a kind work of art in my living room! Thank you (again) Amy!
