About Me
Before going full-time with furniture making in 2013, I was self-employed – for over 20 years - Most of my career has been spent building custom stairs and railings.Along with doing custom stairs I have also restored several 100+ year old homes and built several custom kitchens. All along – actually since age 12 – what I’ve wanted to do most is make furniture. Now thanks to Custom Made I can reach new customers all over the United States. I did a lot of demolition - while restoring old houses - and developed a liking of the 100+ year old wood I was taking down. It is this reclaimed wood – with all its holes, cracks, knots and color variation – that I still prefer and seek out for my Urban Industrial line of furniture.
About My Business/About My Work
My two favorite furniture styles to work on and create are Mid Century Modern and Industrial designs because these two styles are more clean lines and interesting wood selection and less about elaborate finishes or moldings.I have a great local supplier for the most beautiful live edge domestic hardwoods you have ever seen.I also have a pretty good network for reclaimed wood.

For Urban Industrial Counter Stool/Bar Stool W/ Seat Back And Arms - Reclaimed Wood, Welded Steel Tubing5.0Don did an amazing job getting our industrial stools done even earlier than originally planned, and they are beautiful and exactly what we were hoping for. He is very courteous and professional, and even delivered the stools to my relatives that live near him in order to save us shipping costs. I would definitely work with Don again on other projects. Highly recommend.

For Urban Industrial Counter Stool/Bar Stool W/ Seat Back And Arms - Reclaimed Wood, Welded Steel Tubing5.0We received our custom counter stools this week, right on schedule. Even though the a couple of the cartons showed damage the product arrived without a blemish. The stools look just like the photos that advertise them, sleek, sturdy and beautiful. We would not hesitate to purchase from Don again, job well done! Thanks Stephen Chesnut

For Live Edge Walnut Console Table / Sofa Table / Free Form Edge Table4.8The table is superb. Completed on time. Excellent packaging of the table for shipment - a big project in itself. Only 4 stars on "Expertise" because Dan, who was new to Custom Made, didn't make it easy to accept his proposal. Nonetheless, I would highly recommend him.
