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

After one year of building and apprenticing under the cabinetmaker John Landis, and three years of High School woodworking under Carter Sio, I have started designing and building my own custom furniture.

In my furniture, I strive to find a balance between functionality and artistic expression. My first priority is always building a well-constructed piece that will stand the test of time.

I prefer to let the wood itself be the focal point in my furniture. My designs are unique but not overly busy, and they are meant to bring out the natural beauty of the woods I have used. I enjoy using inlays, asymmetrical designs, contrasting colors, visible joinery, and various other techniques to make my pieces unique. I also endeavor to use reclaimed materials in my work, whether in the form of old wine barrels, salvaged lumber, or items picked up at a flea market. This sustainable practice both adds to the individuality of my furniture and reduces my impact on the natural world.

Please contact me for any woodworking project, big or small.

    Walter created 3 custom vanities for our bathrooms. They are beautiful and functional in design. The workmanship is excellent. Working with Walter was easy and fun. We were so impressed with him and his work that we have just hired him for 2 more projects. I recommend Walter for any custom wood creation designs.

    Nice experience for my first purchase on Custom Made. I had been searching for a bookshelf with a little more depth to the shelves than what I was finding in home furnishing sites. I also wanted the majority of the bookcase to be made of solid wood. Walter was helpful with suggestions regarding the best materials and design for my needs and budget. He addressed any concerns I had in a timely manner. He was also very pleasant in person when he delivered the finished product. I will certainly contact Walter for future projects as I am very pleased with my new bookshelf.

    This was my first experience with Custom Made and I was very pleased. Mr. Stephenson was prompt, clear and responsive. He personally delivered my piece, which I greatly appreciated. The vanity is beautiful and beautifully made. I would highly recommend Mr. Stephenson and Red Acorn.
