Please look thru the items I have shown in the gallery to get an idea of the workmanship I produce. I work with both soft and hardwoods of all species. Several finish options are also available depending on the item and design you would like.
If you are ready to have that special hand-crafted item created. Send me your measurements, pictures, and or ideas. You and I will create the heirloom piece you are looking for.
I work alone so utmost care, time, and quality is hand-crafted into every finished item.
We are located between Rochester and Buffalo New York. I will deliver most of the larger pieces or you may pick them up at the shop if you prefer.
Thank You for looking and considering Windy Woods Custom Design for your next project!

    I should have submitted a review years ago! Dave made a custom hutch that I drew. It is a perfect addition to our kitchen, sturdy and still in great condition years later! We’ve got many compliments!

    For David's Desk

    The project was very complex and David did an excellent job meeting my needs. The Custom Made Web Site was great in locating several furniture manufactures who were willing to work with me; however, having a middle man between me and the builder became a problem. I would have liked direct contact with the builder to ensure questions could be asked, answered quickly, and decisions made that would improve the quality of the project and met both our needs. David ran into problems with the finish that he bought and was able to work with the supplier to resolve the issue. I will use David again for future projects.

    Mr. Paddon's work is gorgeous! The table really is a work of art. Love is so much I am hoping to get him to also build me a hutch for my grandmother's dishes and shelves for my living room!

    For Book Shelves

    Dave made me and my husband the most beautiful built-in bookshelf for our tiny studio apartment. We needed it to be a very specific size to fill a gap and he made it exactly to order. His expert advice on the design (a two-part construction that could be assembled on-site) and know-how were exactly what this project needed. He even delivered it all the way to New Haven, CT and installed it. It is absolutely gorgeous and very sturdy. We couldn't be happier with the result!

    Dave was willing to add a final revision fairly late in the game. I think the holiday season got away from him with the timing and communication check-ins. He was very easy to work with and the end product was exactly what I was hoping for and more. For my first experience with custom made, I was impressed with every step of the process.
