Exotic Wood Butcher Block

$65

I have some Exotic wood Butcher block stock. I do simple boards all the way up to tables and bar tops. Shown are some examples. Custom laser work also available. Custom pieces can be commissioned and built to your specifications, sizes and colors. You can choose the type of exotic woods and the finishes. You can even pick out the exact slabs we use to produce your piece at the sawmill during the milling process. Dining room tables, side bars, benches, coffee tables, chairs, bookshelf units, wall units, wall mounted shelves, custom made picture frames, kitchen & bath countertops can all be custom built for you out of exotic woods. One-of-a-kind pieces of wood art with or without live edges are what we do. . . If you can imagine it . . .we can build it. Thx. Dave Sutton

My name is Dave Sutton.
Retiring after fifteen years of being a professional flats guide here in South Florida due to the 2009 recession and the gulf oil spill.
I then worked at home for Hotel Vanities International and have a small, but very well equipped wood shop in the back yard.
I have now moved to the mountains of Murphy, North Carolina and am in the process of building my retirement home and new workshop.

For almost 40 years I have given my very best effort to create heirloom quality pieces for every one of my customers that will last a lifetime.

Almost 4 decades of wood crafting has taught me one thing. If I want it done just right…
I have to do it myself.
If I don't like it, you won't see it. It's that simple.

I am the designer, craftsman and woodworker,
I pick the log and the slabs, I do the shaping and all the sanding. All of the assembly and fitting ??? Yup…all me.
I also do the hand rubbed finishes myself as well.

I learned my trade growing up in Rhode Island building handmade strip-wood canoes, hand made cabinets, slab furniture and working in various shipyards on the coast of Maine till I moved to Florida in 1990.

Finding all of the exotic woods available to me here was amazing. I was like a little kid in a candy store.

I now have built and moved into my retirement cabin in Murphy, NC and have just finished my new workshop. I love the mountains and the people here …

    I am very pleased with Dave Sutton. He produced exactly what I wanted, and had the expertise to guide the things I didn't know, so I got what I wanted.

    Both Dave and CustomMade answered my questions, and helped me get everything done in a timely manner.

    My husband who is a BMW aficionado suffers from MS. I figured one of the only was I would be able to convince him to use a can was one that had a little bit of BMW incorporated. Dave Sutton was able to get a BMW gear shift for the handle -BINGO! Craftsmanship is superb. The turnaround time was much faster than I figured it would be. Mr. Sutton kept me informed of the entire process. Big thanks and shoutout to Mr. Sutton!

    The cane blank Dave made for me from salvaged Ipe wood is beautiful and functional. It is just what I hoped for. Everything about the transaction was smooth, professional and quick. I would not hesitate to work with Dave again.

    Not only was Dave prompt at communicating with ideas for the project, he was professional, and overall a very good person to work with. The value of his work is amazing and the attention to detail and care that he puts into his work is worth a visit. I am, and my community of faith, are very pleased with his work.
