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.
Stan 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.
I am beyond thrilled with my final product, but also with Stan's willingness to work with me. He kept me updated with emails and photos, he was willing to meet with me at a lumber yard to choose a live edge slab for the top, more than reasonably priced in my opinion.. I can't thank Stan enough.
I highly recommend Stan for any project you are considering. He kept me informed throughout, and delivered right on time. The toy chest that I ordered is beautiful, and is exactly what I was hoping for. Thank you again, Stan!
Stan did a great job of providing me with a large bench to replace a sofa in my living room. With collaborative input on design, materials and finish he produced a fine piece, ahead of schedule with expertise and utmost professionalism. It was a pleasure to work with him and see my concept become a beautiful addition to my home furnishings. Five Stars!
My wife and I are very happy with our table base. This was our first custom made piece and Stan at Bench Dog made it a pleasurable experience. Stan was patient and quick to respond to my many questions and completed the project on time. He was also willing to apply a finish he had yet to work with, and it came out perfect to match the chairs we have on order. A slight imperfection on a leg is the only reason not a 5 star rating. We recommend Bench Dog as Stan will be our first call on any future projects.
