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 TubingDon’s work is incredible— beautifully crafted furniture I’ll have forever. He’s also an absolute pleasure to work with. Can’t say enough good things :)

For Live Edge Black Walnut Console TableVery please with Don, he ended up finishing slightly ahead of schedule. I told him what i wanted and he had the wood on hand for what I wanted (a 80"x15" walnut console table).
The table arrived in packaging so dense I was certain before opening it that there would be no damage. It looked better in person than the photos he showed me as it progressed.
Great experience.

For Urban Industrial Counter Stool/Bar Stool W/ Seat Back And Arms - Reclaimed Wood, Welded Steel TubingDon 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 Custom Stool For BenI had a really great experience working with Don! I wanted a stool for my kitchen and he was able to customize it to fit my counter (which is a little taller than standard). It's solid and looks even better in person.

For Live Edge Walnut Console Table / Sofa Table / Free Form Edge TableThe 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.
