Here at Foster Fine Furniture we make heirloom quality furniture from either our own designs, or designed with our customers, to meet your specific needs and spatial requirements. From small items, like wall clocks, plaques or signs to big projects like bedroom suites and living room furniture, we have your needs covered. If you need a coffee table a little larger or smaller, want a special inlay, or want to make a certain statement, we can take care of that for you.
Sometimes, the old ways are still the best. For example, we use old fashioned mortise and tenon joinery in our casework and frames, while using modern equipment and technology. Our drawers are joined with dovetails or using a modern twist on the dovetail - the Isoloc Joint - whatever is appropriate for the piece. We can carve 3D flourishes, rosettas and various patterns into rails, table legs, bed posts, and more to fit your décor - just like they did in the old days, but using modern equipment instead of hammer and chisel. We're more than happy to answer any of your questions along the way.
We have been in business since April 2014 with over forty years woodworking experience. We primarily utilize hardwoods such as cherry, red oak, and maple. Other woods can be used upon availability and at the customer's request. If you have a specific type of wood or design in mind, we look forward to making your furniture ideas come to life. We work for you!

For Cutting board Project4.8Lee was very accommodating and easy to work with. The final product exceeded our expectations. The project was a cherry cutting board. It had to conform to the curved shape of our farm-house sink. I created a tightly specified, somewhat complex drawing and sent photos. Lee created a pine prototype from my drawing and sent it to me. After giving him some minor feedback he cut the final piece and delivered it. Lee was very easy to work with and did a nice job.

For Serving tray Project5.0Lee was great from start to finish- flexible in the design phase, and with several great ideas that really made the project turn out better than I pictured. In execution he was right on schedule, with the package arriving expertly packed several days early, and really looking great! Materials were exactly as stated, and craftsmanship was top notch - a great experience in creating a one of a kind gift!

For Keepsake Box5.0The keepsake box was exactly as I requested and exceeded my expectations. It was ordered as a gift for my husband’s Army memorabilia and he was thrilled with it. Would definitely recommend Mr Foster’s work to anyone.

For Beach House Rules Sign Project5.0This project was handled with extraordinary attention to detail and communication. Lee was highly responsive to suggestions and adjusted as appropriate, and added value by suggesting improvements I had not even considered. I asked Lee for additional effort to match a specific color - which he accomplished with a significant amount of extra work, but he did it cheerfully and almost seemed to thrive on the challenge. This was my first project with CustomMade, so I wasn't exactly sure what to expect in the end. What arrived (very promptly) was a well-packaged product that exceeded my expectations. The piece was well-made, with attention to quality and detail. Lee is a skilled and caring craftsman.
