In this listing I have pictured several different projects I have done for my own home as well as for clients. The first picture is of a deck I built on the back of my house. It is 14'x13'. The second picture is of picture frames I made out of some scrap wood from my shop. The third picture is of a end grain cutting board made with hard maple, cherry and walnut. The fourth picture is of a tv stand I made for a client. It is made from glued together pine. The fifth picture is of a coffee table made with two drawers. It was made from pine and I made it for my father-in-law.

About me: I consider myself blessed beyond measure with the life that God has given to me. I have two young boys and a beautiful wife, and our life is quiet and simple. I enjoy traveling and I have traveled all over the world, and it has given me a great perspective on different styles of woodworking. I have been doing woodworking since 2013. I often think about how much the forest means to me because I love to hunt and just be outdoors and well the trees let me do the work I love to do.
About my work: I do custom work for my clients whether it is a table or a lampstand, I enjoy it all. I have always loved building things, so I decided to start a small business doing what I love. I strive to be a man of integrity as well as a business operator of integrity.

For Dresser and BuffetWe can't recommend Jared highly enough. The matching (cherry) buffet and dresser turned out better than we imagined! We searched locally and on the internet for over a year trying to find the right pieces for our space at the right price. When we saw Jared's work on Custom Made, we were impressed. And his pricing was extremely competitive. After a bit of back and forth on the specifics, we were confident he could make what we wanted. After receiving the pieces, we are thrilled. The craftsmanship and attention-to-detail match anything we've seen in the many showrooms we've visited. If you need furniture, definitely consider using Jared...we will be using him again!!

Wesam Elshamy
For Farmhouse TableJared builds A+ tables with a very reasonable price. Communicating with him was very easy. He understood what I was looking for and showed me pictures of his previous work to set clear expectations. The table was built and delivered on time. The table looks better than what I was expecting. I highly recommend Jared's woodwork. Specially his farm tables, which I tried, and I will probably order more.

Sheri Ludlam
For Bathroom VanityJared was a pleasure to work with, from the beginning to the delivery of the project. He was very patient with all of my questions, and gave me guidance when I had trouble making a decision. He responded to my correspondence very quickly. The finished project was beautiful, a large walnut bathroom vanity. I love the color and the craftsmanship. He didn't cut any corners , and did more than he had to. I wouldn't hesitate to ask him to make something else for me.
Bob Shockey
For Bob's Dining TableThe table created is EXACTLY what we specified. It looks great; however, the quality of fits and finishes substantially exceeded our expectations. Jared is the genuine article -- an old world craftsman of the first order. His work is of high value. His design skill is also excellwnt. A+ recommendation.

Jayne Boots
For Farmhouse TableJared was great from the beginning! I wanted a whitewashed farm table. Jared talked to me about types of wood, the color of the wash, he really made an effort to make sure I got what I wanted. He kept in contact, finished early and I was able to pick up my table today! I would definitely work with Jared again!
Daniel Janousek
For Daniel's Wood column room transitionJared did a fantastic job crafting a custom request. His attention to detail and thoughtful suggestions to improve the final output went above and beyond what was expected. I would highly recommend Jared for any future projects.
Greg Frehr
For Bathroom VanityMy wife and I are so happy with the outcome, if I could rate any of the rating parameters above 5 stars it would be value, the cabinets are truly awesome, fit like a glove and I've had so many compliments already! Thanks for the great communications and working out the crazy timeline situation I had going on!!
Katie Putzer
For Katie's BookcasesWe couldn't be happier! We asked Jared to created two bookcases with base cabinets to be placed on each side of our fireplace. We sent him a picture that we found online of what we were looking for. Jared drew up plans for the bookcases and they looked exactly like what we wanted. During construction, he asked us questions along the way to clarify that the end product would be exactly what we needed. He even sent pictures of the progress! We made a few modifications during construction and Jared was able to make the changes with no problems at all. He delivered the completed bookcases to us exactly when promised and they are perfect! The quality is great and our living room will look brand new with these custom pieces. I would absolutely recommend working with Jared and I will contact him in the future if we have any more custom carpentry needs!
Mark Allen
For Farmhouse TableAt this point if you aren't an experienced "online" shopper, you probably need to get rid of your dial-up account, and try email instead of using stamps. I was looking for a rustic, classic and clean work table for my living room, that could double as a dining table for when I have guests. For the most part it was going to be a functional piece as I need it more to throw work stuff on vs. host. Found Jared's work on CustomMade, and I was impressed with one of the first pics of his work table. It was clean, well stained and looked (to me) like the better, cleaner, less wobbly picnic or public park table that I've seen. I reached out to him, he contacted me back the same day and was great with correspondence, time of production, delivery...etc. Even with the holiday, he managed to get the table done, to where it looked almost exactly the same as the image that first caught my eye. Prompt with communication and delivery, he drove it up himself and I was ecstatic to see it for myself when I got home. I wasn't there when he delivered it himself, but at that point, I had pretty good sense to trust him based on his communication. I let him leave it with my building manager for me to get later that evening. Everything exactly as expected. The table is outstanding, and as soon as I have a little more time to think about accessories or other pieces that may match my apartment and the table, I plan to reach out to him again. Great job. Thanks Jared.

For Hickory VanityThe cabinet was more then I expected. I would recommend Jared again. If there is a complaint it lies with Custom Made and the communication center. Not with the carpenter.
Jeanna Barbieri
For Bench ProjectI literally searched everywhere for what I was looking for and Jared is the only person who was able to help me with that! The bench I received was not only identical to my request, but affordable for my budget! He was a breeze to work with and I will definitely be coming to him in the future if I need anything else built!
