LaRue Woodworking offers generations of experience hand building Custom Made "one of a kind" Projects tailored to our customers needs/wants. As the 7th generation on my family farm many of my tools and building methods have been passed down over the centuries, I have 30 years of experience with wood, myself. So, between the “handed down” knowledge and all the Restoration, Repairs and Duplications of Wood Antiques that have been proven for years or even centuries, I continue to use these methods in my custom projects to make sure they last for years/centuries.

We offer a complete Custom Made Projects ranging from the simple Custom Projects like Picture Frames and cutting boards all the way to the Custom High-End Projects like Dining Room Furniture to Custom Cabinetry to Custom Bedroom Furniture and beyond. We have built Custom Projects with a Reclaimed Lumber, to a Contemporary Look to a Modern Look all the way to the “High-End Refined” look, and everything else in-between and beyond.

LaRue Woodworking ALSO offers, what we call, the “EXTREME CUSTOM” option, because we own a 75 acre wood lot, sawmill, Dry Kiln, planers, Custom Molding machine and even a 3-D CNC Router, I offer a “Used your own tree/log/Lumber” all the way to “Pick your own Live Tree” to finished project.

LaRue Woodworking is always “Doing Extra to make the Ordinary Extraordinary” and we are definitely looking forward to building your next Custom Wood Project

    Delayed due to injury. Product was very good, but the stain was very light. Preferred darker. A bit smaller than expected. Overall very acceptable.

    William is the consummate professional - beautiful craftsmanship, very timely, excellent communicator, fair pricing, and a man of his word. The sword case he made for me is a piece of art unto itself. If our family needs more custom wood pieces, we will use William - I recommend him wholeheartedly!! Bob Walter

    I had the sign made for a few housemates and they love it. Craftsmanship is awesome and the price was very affordable for a custom design. I would refer Custom Made to my friends.

    We are thrilled with the custom butcher block that we ordered from LaRue Woodworking. They were incredibly patient working with us through our slew of questions and incredibly knowledgeable. They were able to look at some ideas of what we wanted and then make recommendations for the best pattern and woods to use for the project. The price for our project was very reasonable and shipping was very quick. Our friends and family are all extremely impressed with the piece they made for us. I would highly recommend using LaRue Woodworking for any custom project you are thinking of, you will not be disappointed.

    Mr. LaRue's plaque was exactly what I wanted, but I was very disappointed with the size of the desk plaque, especially for what I paid. The letters were 3/4 inches high and I expected them to be MUCH LARGER. I did not ask the size when ordering and that was my fault. I explained when ordering that my husband had an executive desk and this small name plaque looks so out of place. I wrote Mr. LaRue and told him of my disappointment, but never heard back from him. I suggest when ordering anything from him, that the customer ask the size of the item. Sincerely, Kay C. Waters

    For Memorial wood bench
    5.0

    William LaRue is a master woodworker. He crafted a gorgeous memorial bench in honor of my father and he was very helpful in selecting a suitable wood for its outdoor location. Everyone who sees it is so impressed with the high quality work and attention to detail. I couldn't be happier! We picked up the bench from his workshop to save on the shipping, but judging by William's responsiveness and professionalism in all other regards, I'm confident that he'd handle the shipping expertly. Thank you, William!

    Beyond our expectations. William restored our battered butcher block into a beautiful table which is now the centerpiece of our family room. Great job. We would recommend William to anyone in need of professional, high-quality woodworking.
