Custom Hardwood Millwork in Parkersburg, WV

Parkersburg is the closest big town to my shop, and a good share of my boards and tables have ended up in kitchens and dining rooms here over the years.

A local maker for Parkersburg

Built nearby, by hand, by me

I work about six miles up the Ohio River from downtown Parkersburg, so this is home turf. When someone in Parkersburg commissions a piece, we can usually meet in person, talk through the wood, and skip the guesswork that comes with ordering furniture sight-unseen from a catalog.

Everything I make for Parkersburg clients starts the same way it does for everyone — as rough-cut lumber I mill and hand-pick myself. There is no production line and no outsourcing. Whether it is a $50 cutting board for a wedding on the books or a solid walnut dining table for a house on the hill above the Little Kanawha, it gets built one at a time, by me.

Because we are neighbors, a Parkersburg commission is one of the easier ones to get right. You can see and feel a sample board before you commit, I can match a stain to a floor or a cabinet you already own, and final delivery is a short drive rather than a freight quote.

What I build for Parkersburg clients

From a $50 cutting board to an heirloom table

A house-warming board for a Julia-Ann Square restoration, an anniversary table, or a set of serving trays for a family that entertains.

Cutting & serving boards

End-grain, edge-grain, and serving boards in domestic and exotic hardwoods — the entry piece and the gift.

Dining tables

Solid hardwood dining tables, milled and built one at a time. Knock-down, trestle, and live-edge styles.

Coffee tables

Cocktail and coffee tables — including the floating-top design and reclaimed black cherry sets.

Game tables & boards

Bespoke game pieces — vertical chess boards, backgammon, cribbage — in figured hardwoods.

Crafts & planters

Wine service trays, serving sets, planters, and one-off commissions — where the shop started.

Around Parkersburg

A piece that fits the place

Parkersburg sits where the Little Kanawha meets the Ohio, and it has the kind of housing stock — the Julia-Ann Square historic district, the old homes along Ann and Juliana Streets — where a piece of solid, made-to-last hardwood actually belongs. I build for those rooms, not for a flat-pack aesthetic.

I have handed off work near Point Park and City Park, and shipped boards to folks who summer out at Blennerhassett Island. If you have a spot in mind — a kitchen island, a dining nook, a mantel — tell me the room and I will help you size the piece to it.

Getting it to you

From my shop to Parkersburg

Parkersburg is roughly a twelve-minute drive from the shop, so I hand-deliver finished tables and larger pieces here at no freight cost. Smaller items like cutting and serving boards can be picked up in Williamstown or dropped to you, whichever is easier.

Every piece is milled from rough-cut hardwood I hand-pick, built one at a time, and guaranteed for life. Tell me the room, the size, and the wood you have in mind, and I will give you a real timeline and price before anything is built.

Common questions

Custom woodwork in Parkersburg — FAQ

Do you deliver to Parkersburg?

Yes. Parkersburg is about six miles from my Williamstown shop, so I hand-deliver tables and larger pieces locally at no shipping charge, and boards can be picked up or dropped off.

Can I see a sample before ordering a custom table?

Absolutely — that is one of the advantages of buying from someone down the road. We can meet so you can feel the wood, compare species, and look at finish samples before anything is built.

How long does a custom piece take?

Cutting and serving boards are often ready within a couple of weeks; dining and coffee tables typically run several weeks because I build one piece at a time. I will give you a real timeline before we start.
