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 Cheryl's Coffee TableStan 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.

For Paula's Coffee TableStan built a gorgeous coffee table base of black walnut for me. The workmanship was first rate, and Stan responded quickly to all my queries. He was great to work with, and he even schlepped the base all the way to Manhattan for me to make sure it arrived safely. Highly recommend!
