Live Edge Coffee Table
This coffee table is small in size, but spectacular in figure. The top is crafted from curly ambrosia maple with a grain pattern that makes it a true conversation piece. The bark on the front edge was removed revealing an interesting cove shape. The base is from soft maple and employs mortise and tenon joinery. Finish on the top is Danish oil, wipe-on polyurethane and wax. Base was darkened with a vintage maple dye to match the coloring on the top. Dimensions: 47"L x 15.5"W x 14.5"H.

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.

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.

For Library Browsing Stool5.0Stan was very accommodating in making this small bench. Finish time and shipping were earlier than first estimated. Upon arrival I found very nice handcrafted piece. Highly recommended!
