    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.

    Stan was a joy to work with, keeping us informed every step of the way. The sofa table he made for us arrived in perfect condition and ahead of schedule. It is absolutely beautiful and met our every expectation. I believe the box Stan constructed for shipping would have survived even if it had fallen off the truck. Thanks for everything!

    Stan is a consummate professional - not just in the design and detail-orientation of the woodwork, but in his approach and communication. He beat his own time estimate; kept me in the loop at every stage and was so easy to connect with and align on all aspects. I highly recommend Stan.
