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 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 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 TablesThis is our third time working with Amy and she has once again made a table for us that is exactly what we hoped for. Amy does beautiful work, collaborates consistently to make sure we are on the same page, packs the pieces in a way that fully protects them for cross country travel and uses delivery people who seem to share her commitment to careful professionalism. Working with Amy and living with her finished carpentry pieces continues to be a joy for us. We recommend Amy and Glessboards to all without reservation!

For Custom White Oak Side TableWorking with Amy was a breeze. She was very patient with someone totally inexperienced with woodworking. She held my hand throughout the entire process while still giving me freedom of choice. In the end, what matters most is that my item got here extremely fast, came out exactly as discussed, and elegantly designed to boot. I couldn’t recommend her enough.
