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 maple coffee table with ties4.8The final table is wonderful. Stan worked with us every step of the way from finding the right slab to getting the perfect legs for the finished piece. If we can manage to add a few more similar items to the house in the future, we will talk to Stan again.

For Paula's Coffee Table5.0Stan 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!
