About Me: I am a customer oriented fabricator. I enjoy working with wood and metal and can combine the two seamlessly. I have been working with wood for more than 25 years and have been fabricating metal for more than 15 years. I have an extremely well rounded background and can use my past experiences and knowledge to help create your vision. If your project is outside the scope of my knowledge, skills, or tooling I will tell you upfront so that neither of us wastes time or money.
About My Business: My business is here to serve my customers first and foremost. I strive to deliver top notch service and products on time for a price that is both fair to you and me. I have found that happy customer's become customer's for life and tell their friends and family.
About My Work: My work changes with every project. No two projects are the same. Here are a few examples: turned pine candle stick holders, pine end tables with matching coffee table all with marble tops, stainless steel exterior gates, horse rest stall, custom children's swing set that combined pressure treated wood and cedar, custom office furniture that used powder coated automotive roll bar tubing, stainless steel automotive headers, oak doggy gate, reclaimed plastic lumber deck, custom built in book cases, heavy duty truck bumpers, heavy duty plow frames for skid steers, heavy duty truck back racks, out buildings, wooden mantles, etc. As this list attempts to show, I can work with just about any material and can help make your vision a reality. If you can explain or sketch what you are looking for, I should be able to help you build it. Please don't hesitate to email or call to discuss your ideas. We can do this together!
I have shipped products nationwide as well as to other countries. I work with a freight brokerage company to make sure you never overpay for shipping and handling.

For Intertwined Hair Pin Tables With Reclaimed Wood TopsExceptional craftsmanship and an impressive attention to detail.
From the initial estimation process to final production, delivery arrangements and beyond, every step was thorough, thoughtful and executed to the highest of standards.
Who could of thought that an "across the country" phone, email and text collaboration between a designer's eye/vision (myself) to the craftsman's hands/production (Karl) could be so smooth? :-)
From physically selecting my live edge slab at a local MA mill via online pics, to shared sketches of my vision, to the physical production and beyond - working with Karl was a fun and rewarding experience.
Karl is a very communicative craftsman with a good eye and sincere willingness to please!
AND, I cannot express enough about how impressed I was with his final shipping and crating process (to ensure a safe transit). I must admit I had my doubts as to whether a package so heavy and large could make it from MA to NV without issue. Well needless to say it did. The attention to detail and common sense approach Karl applied to physically make the crate my piece shipped it was flawless. He color coded screws, secured everything on an elevated floor and implemented secure strapping to provide a virtual foolproof safe transport.
If you are considering a custom wood working project, and looking for a "last a lifetime" level of production and quality you can count on - Karl is definitely the guy to call!
The end result speaks for itself. Though no picture can do the justice of physically seeing and feeling the satin smooth hand rubbed finish you can expect.
Beautiful work, fair pricing and passionate/proven processes…

For Established Sign, Family Name Sign, Last Name Sign, Gift For Bride, 5th Anniversary Gift.Karl was great to work with, sending me mockups and pictures along the way to make sure everything was how I wanted. He was always timely in responding to questions or requests and even included a nice note with the sign as it was being delivered straight to the gift recipients. This was my first experience with CustomMade and I was hesitant at first but I was very pleased with the outcome and would recommend Karl.

For Reclaimed Wood Bottle Stops // Wine Stopper // Wooden BarwareI had a great experience with my first time order. Mark provided many wood samples for customized wine stoppers and was very timely in the draft samples. I am anxious to have his help and support with a future order!

For Adirondack ChairKMR Werkes did a fantastic job with the Adirondack hockey stick chair he made me. He was fast in responding to messages and emails. He completed the job 2 weeks ahead of time to ensure that it arrived for the special event. He was professional and talked me through every step he was taking and what he was going to do. I could not have asked for a better project. It exceeded my expectations. I would recommend his work to anyone and would return for another project. He went above and beyond to help me out and get it done.

For Personalized Cutting Board, Engraved Cutting Board, Custom Wedding Gift – Cb-Wo- TheesenI would highly recommend KMR Werkes for any of your woodworking needs. I hired his services to make personalized, engraved cutting boards for my daughter's friends Graduations from their various Universities. The boards were high quality, beautiful pieces of art. And, the craftsman was a pleasure to work with and very efficient and reliable with my requests and special needs. All Graduates absolutely love their amazing and timeless gifts.
