Every once in a while I run across a board that simply must be appreciated in the form of a cribbage board. If you are going to play cribbage - you should play it on a beautiful one-of-a-kind board. Each of the boards pictured here were made from lumber harvested from a tree at the home of a friend or client that wanted to preserve the memory of their tree.

Our focus on furniture happened many years ago (25+) as a result of some left-over lumber, the need for a bench by the backdoor, and a frugal resourceful nature that told us to give it a try. The bench turned out beautiful (we still use it every day), the experiment turned to a hobby, the hobby to an obsession, the obsession to a journey… We design and build custom furniture on commission. Our shop specializes in made to order custom furniture specifically for individual clients.

For Cutting Board / Sink CoverAmy built the most beautiful cutting board for me. She incorporated other design aspects of my kitchen in the board making it the perfect accent. I recommend her without reservation!

For Country Dining ChairsMy brother and his family recently moved into a new house and were in need of finally upgrading their dining room table set. I offered to purchase a dining set, and he found Amy on CustomMade. She was very easy to work with, and the table and chairs were made on schedule and shipped to my brother. I haven't seen them in person due to the pandemic, but the pics Amy and he have sent me look amazing, and my brother is very pleased. I certainly would recommend Amy and her team for future projects.

For L-deskAmy produced a fantastic piece of furniture from a very crude drawing. The final product is great. Solid woods and great details. Kept me up-to-date about progress and was clear about everything!
This is my second project with Glessboards. If I have additional projects I will definitely contact them again.

For Farmhouse Extension Dining TableWe are delighted with the beautiful table and chairs we ordered from Glessboards. Amy was extremely easy to work with, and her wood products are beautiful. We had originally ordered just one table but decided to get a set of chairs to go with it. We are very happy with the products -- extremely well made and attractive. They also were finished more than a month earlier than the original estimate. Their other products are beautiful as well--they can make tables, chairs, and more from lovely wood to one's precise specifications. They gave us some excellent choices in terms of wood type and finish. We had looked in standard furniture stores, but couldn't find there precisely what we had wanted (a smaller yet very attractive simple wooden table for an open kitchen / hallway / sittting area). Going for custom made is perfect, and I highly recommend Amy Gless and Glessboards!
