Great service
This Maker has consistently demonstrated excellence in craftsmanship and customer service.
Cooper Woodworks has been making custom, unique, and made to order furniture, millwork, and wood items since 2008.
It all started as a kid with a pocketknife whittling flowers and other small things from sticks found in my home state of Wyoming. During high school and college I worked for my father at his welding shop, doing mostly machining. After moving to Oregon in 2003, I switched from metalwork to a job in general contracting. As time went by, I found myself drawn more and more to fine carpentry, and started making chess boards and other items for friends and family. My first piece of mortise and tenon furniture was a figured maple crib for my son. It took a very long time and was a huge learning experience, but so worth it in the end.
Today I have made that hobby into a business that rewards me on a daily basis. Looking at a piece of nature, appreciating it's beauty, and making useful things of the utmost quality with it is a truly rewarding experience. I combine both modern and traditional woodworking and joinery techniques to provide quality pieces in a timely and cost effective manner.
Whether you are looking for a one of a kind table, a fireplace surround, or a few hundred baluster spindles for a custom staircase, I can accommodate your needs!

For Black Limba And Distressed Steel Reception Desk3.8I think Kevin is a dedicated craftsman and we got a terrific value for our public school district. I am so very happy with the finished product! There were some hiccups in the process that he made right, and we appreciate that.

For Walnut Console Table Or Entryway Table5.0Kevin did an amazing job on my console table. He went above and beyond what was asked of him. He pays attention to details and I would highly recommend him for your project.

For Cory's Cutting Board2.3Considering that I've paid and I've never received the final product, I must give Cooper Woodworks a poor rating. Kevin was super communicative at first, but then there were several delays. Then when I pestered him, he admitted that his employee made a mistake and cut the board to the wrong size. I still agreed to take the board to see if it would fit in my space and Kevin never shipped it to me. So now, I've paid in full and I haven't received the cutting board. Not a great first experience for the Custom Made site. Update: The cutting board came and it's beautiful. The craftsmanship was amazing. It was just the communication that was lacking.
