We are located in the beautiful town of Bath, in Mid Coast Maine.
We design and build custom furniture using quality domestic hardwoods as well as exotic species. All designs are unique. We will work with the customer to include their preferences in design, wood species and finish. We also repair and refinish all types of wooden furniture, especially antiques.
We build a wide variety of custom cabinetry, including entertainment centers, bookcases, vanities and cabinets for special needs.
We build custom moldings and wainscotings, especially those no longer available for restoration of older homes.
We do woodturnings (bowls, vases, etc.) in a variety of woods.
We make many smaller craft items, wooden toys, and accessories.
Most woodworking projects are custom designed to meet your needs and preferences in terms of design, wood species, and finishing options.
All clear finished projects are hand rubbed for a furniture quality finish. Painted projects are primed and finished with two coats of paint.
We will provide free estimates on all projects.

Jan 6, 2014Mr. Batterman exceeded our expectation on workman ship, communication, and helpful hints for improvements. The workmanship of the finished product was beautiful. The finished product was shipped three week ahead of schedule and the packaging was very professional, there was no way it could get damaged during shipment. The price for the project was very reasonable and we will use Mr. Batterman for any future wood projects.

Jun 16, 2015Dean is a fine craftsman and a true professional. He made a beautiful arts and crafts bench for my entryway to my specifications. He obviously enjoys woodworking and cares about quality because he crafted my bench as if he were making it for himself (and I could tell that he was proud of the finished product). He used high quality materials and took the time to choose the most beautiful wood with lovely grain. The finish was perfect and the design is just what I wanted -- a little bit art deco and a little bit vintage. Dean has high standards and makes furniture that is solid and will last. The bench is the perfect size for my entryway and quite functional (not just beautiful)! Dean is a great communicator too -- he answered all of my questions promptly and completely and even sent pictures! He delivered the bench on time, and I must say, there's no need to worry about any damage during shipping. Dean knows how to package furniture for safe shipping! I would highly recommend Dean, and I will go to him for any of my own future projects. Thank you, Dean, and I hope you continue to enjoy your craft. This is an heirloom quality piece that I will pass on to my grandson one day.
