Bench Dog Woodworks
I have been designing and building furniture for over 40 years. With retirement, came an opportunity to attend woodworking classes, providing an appreciation for the use of machine tools, hand tool skills and learning from instructors who are the best in their given areas of expertise. Bench Dog Woodworks became a reality.
Favorite pieces in the last couple of years have spanned many styles from the Arts and Crafts period (the designs of Stickley, Limbert, Greene & Greene) to Shaker, mid-century modern, live edge and the use of reclaimed wood. As I learn more about 17th and 18th century woodworking techniques, carving, veneer and inlay are finding their way into my work.
Customization is a specialty. Provide an idea in the form of a photo or a rough sketch and I will work with you to refine the design and turn it into a functional piece.
Traditional joinery techniques (such as mortise and tenon and dovetails) are employed resulting in a more lasting, quality piece. The extra labor involved is often reflected in my pricing.
If you buy something and are not satisfied with the result, I will work with you to make adjustments.
If you need an item by a specific date or for a specific event, please let me know prior to accepting a proposal.

Mar 28, 2016Stan is a consummate professional - not just in the design and detail-orientation of the woodwork, but in his approach and communication. He beat his own time estimate; kept me in the loop at every stage and was so easy to connect with and align on all aspects. I highly recommend Stan.

Feb 4, 2016Stan worked very closely with me to make sure the bookends I wanted came out exactly as imagined. He kept me in the loop on all updates and I am very happy with the bookends he made for a wedding gift.

Jan 30, 2017Stan was great to work with. He sent his design to me before starting, and I received photos of the project all along the way. The project was a handmade hallway mirror, and due to Stan's careful packaging, it arrived in perfect condition. It was exactly as I envisioned.......the workmanship was flawless. We are proud to have in hang in our home!

Dec 26, 2020Stan is extremely talented. We love our coffee table. The entire process was better than any furniture store with whom I’ve dealt. Stan kept me informed of the process from shaping the wood through final product; with descriptions and photos. He originally estimated delivery for the first week in January. However was able to complete the project before Christmas. The work and stain are professionally finished. I have full confidence in his work and hope to work with him again.

Mar 23, 2015I considered maybe putting a 4 stars for value because I simply do not know about what I was buying since I did not do much research but changed to 5 because working with Stan was an excellent experience on all other fronts. The quality of work looks great and the customization was a breeze. He is definitely a professional. Thanks Stan.
