Our Story: Built by Hand, Rooted in Community

Bespoke woodworking designed to bring warmth, character, and timeless utility into your home.

Meet the Maker

Every piece of sawdust cleared at Smith Custom Woodworks starts with a vision. Founded by Wood Artisan Derald Smith, our small, family-owned shop near the heart of Maryland was born out of a simple passion: turning raw, honest timber into functional art.

We don't mass-produce. We collaborate. Whether it’s a custom white oak bathroom vanity or a bespoke set of kitchen cabinets, Derald meticulously handcrafts each piece to fit your exact style, space, and life.

"We thrive on the challenge of bringing your unique ideas to life. If you can dream it, we can build it."
— Derald Smith, Founder

Why Choose Smith Custom Woodworks?

To us, "custom" means more than just choosing a dimension. It’s a commitment to a better way of building.

100% Solid Wood: We never cut corners with cheap particle board. We build exclusively with the finest solid hardwoods to ensure your piece lasts for generations.

Locally Sourced, Always: We love our community. Our lumber is proudly sourced from hardworking, family-owned sawmills right here in Maryland, supporting sustainable forestry and local artisans.

Tailored to You: Pricing is driven transparently by your choice of size and wood species—giving you complete control over the final product.

From Our Shop to Your Home

Nothing brings us more joy than seeing our work out in the wild. When you share a photo of a Smith Custom Woodworks dining table hosting a family dinner, or one of our custom chime covers blending perfectly into your entryway, it fuels our passion.
