Great service

This Maker has consistently demonstrated excellence in craftsmanship and customer service.

Cooper's Custom Projects is a small wood shop where we have a passion for building well-constructed kitchen and dining room tables, coffee tables, unique shelves, entertainment centers, console tables, children's furniture, toys and more.

Ours is a home-based business, so we have lower overhead but still have a high-quality process and facility with a large shop and dedicated clean paint-room.

We specialize in building rustic and homey furniture, but also have experience with built-ins, cabinets, and modern furniture. We also build most of our projects out of reclaimed wood to help the Earth and to give your new piece some added history and character.

Depending on your needs we source new or reclaimed wood from local mills in New England.

Cooper's Custom Projects also has a passion for finishes, both painted and stained. We know that it takes more time to apply the finish to most projects than it did to build it and we love to spend that time making your project look amazing and last a lifetime.

Drop us a line if you have any questions about what we can make for you!

Allison Henson

For cutting table

I couldn't be happier with the cutting table Michael made for my sewing studio. From discussing the initial design, to advising what types of wood and finish he thought would best fit my needs, he was a pleasure to work with throughout the entire process. He was professional, kind, and communicative. Best of all, he makes beautiful furniture! I hope to work with him again.

Till Rosenband

For Industrial-Mill Inspired Desk

The project was the "Industrial-Mill Inspired Desk" in a custom size. The table top is nice and shipping/delivery to the Boston area was an easy experience. My main concern is that the edges on the legs are quite sharp, even though they were spec'd as being rounded (which the table top is). Michael even took the desk back to his shop after first showing it, to us to take off some of the sharpness. It was hard to be too critical at the second delivery (and the full cost was already paid). So the leg edges are not very rounded, and one of them left a nasty bruise when a family member bumped her head. As well, the bottom of the table has sharp edges and is largely unfinished. That might be appropriate for the back of a cabinet which no one will ever see or touch, but the underside of a desk does come in contact with the human body, and deserves a better finish.

Louisa

For Small cherry desk

Michael is a talented woodworker and a real pleasure to work with. Throughout the project he communicated with me clearly and often, helping me envision exactly the desk I needed, keeping me informed about progress, and asking for my input when needed. The result is terrific, a small desk I will use and appreciate for a very long time. I highly recommend Michael.

Maker Policies

Shipping Policy

Area served: Southern New England We will deliver completed projects within southern New England for a very nominal fee. Unless you're really willing to pay for custom crating and shipping, we won't ship our projects.

Maker Policy

Cooper's Custom will endeavor to meet our shipping deadlines, though we reserve the right to extend them based on project changes, or difficulty sourcing the wood for the project. Certain finishes may also take longer to complete depending on humidity. We warranty our work to not crack, split, or break under regular use for one year. We do not warranty the finish against regular wear and tear. If the finish is faulty, or the project cracks, splits or breaks within one year, we will require photo evidence and may require the piece to be shipped back. We will replace the piece at no cost other than shipping. Other than the cases specified above, we do not take returns. Also, once an initial payment is made on a project, that payment cannot be refunded, even if the project is cancelled as it represents time spent and materials purchased. We love the fact that we can build out of reclaimed wood and need our customers to understand that this means your project is not perfect, new, or factory built. It will have the character of wood that has already served many years and will also show the marks of those years and the tools used upon it.
