Modern Bookcase
In this piece the customer was wanting a modern bookcase but not super crazy modern. So I did some research and sent him a couple designs and this is the one he chose. I used cherry mdf and hard wood for the face and the dowels. The dimensions were 48" W x 72" T x 12" D. The customer wanted it a manly purple and gave me the leeway to choose it and this color was the closest I could find. I used glue and biscuits for the joints to give a strong durability so it will last a while. The dowels I used were 1 1/2" thick and cut to 4" to give the modern look but not lose a whole lot of space for shelves.

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.

For Dresser and Buffet4.8We 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!!
