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 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.

For Serving Tray5.0Stan was an absolute pleasure to work with. He is very professional, detail-oriented and thoughtful about the entire process of getting your project to suit your needs entirely. Extremely responsive with emails and thorough with answers. You can trust he'll do the best job possible! We'd work with Stan again any day.

For Edward's Dining Table4.8My 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.
