Great service
This Maker has consistently demonstrated excellence in craftsmanship and customer service.
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.

For Credenza5.0I 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.

For Greg's Bookcase5.0Stan did a great job. He designed an attractive, functional bookcase and built it flawlessly. The craftsmanship is superb, his communication throughout was highly professional, and he delivered it three days early. I recommend his work wholeheartedly.
QDQuevin Do
For Quevin's Desk Storage5.0Stan was very professional and was great at communicating through out the entire process. He sent progress shots to make sure that the project was going as planned. He also sent samples of finishes and clearly noted changes when it came to making final decisions. Stan also had the best prices as well as access to great wood.
The project was shipped out weeks earlier then anticipated!

For Sandra's wood box for burying ashes of an adult5.0this is my first time using Custom Made and the entire experience has been very awesome. Stan responded to my request for project bids, was very fair with pricing, was timely with production and the end result was exactly what I was looking for. I highly recommend working with Stan. Thank you Stan. This has been a hard time for us and you helped us by making the perfect box for my moms ashes.

Mathieu Vallier
For Modifying an Entertainment Center5.0Stan assisted in modifying an existing entertainment center. He did so without ever seeing the entertainment center in person.
I had asked him to create some spacers so I could make the entertainment center wider. The spacers came out exactly as I requested. Stan even hand carved the molding to match the existing molding.
Excellent job and I'm super satisfied with the service.
