Custom Hardwood Millwork in St. Marys, WV

St. Marys is a straight shot up Route 2 along the river from my shop — far enough to feel like its own town, close enough that I still deliver in person.

A local maker for St. Marys

Built nearby, by hand, by me

St. Marys, the seat of Pleasants County, is about twenty miles up the Ohio from Williamstown. It is a pretty drive along Route 2, and an easy one for me to make when a finished table or a box of boards is ready.

Everything I build for St. Marys is the same one-at-a-time work I do for my closest neighbors: rough-cut hardwood I mill and hand-pick, joined and finished to last a lifetime. The distance changes nothing about how the piece is made.

Because St. Marys is a little farther out, I make a point of nailing down the details up front — wood, size, finish, and timing — so that when I make the trip, the piece is exactly what you pictured.

What I build for St. Marys clients

From a $50 cutting board to an heirloom table

An heirloom dining table for a river-view home, an anniversary board, or a one-off commission worth the wait.

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 St. Marys

A piece that fits the place

St. Marys looks out on Middle Island, the longest of the Ohio River Islands National Wildlife Refuge, and it has that quiet river-town character that pairs well with honest, solid wood. The homes here are made for heirloom tables, not disposable furniture.

I have sent boards and built pieces for folks around St. Marys and the river communities nearby. Tell me the room and the occasion and I will help you choose something worth keeping.

Getting it to you

From my shop to St. Marys

St. Marys is about a twenty-five-minute drive up Route 2. I still deliver larger pieces personally here; for a longer haul like a single table we will simply confirm timing, and small boards can ship safely if that is easier for you.

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 St. Marys — FAQ

Do you really deliver as far as St. Marys?

I do. St. Marys is about twenty miles up Route 2 from my shop — roughly twenty-five minutes — and I deliver larger pieces in person. Smaller boards can also ship safely if that suits you better.

Can you ship a cutting board if I cannot meet you?

Yes. Boards ship well by the safest, least-expensive route — usually USPS — so distance is never a reason to miss out on a handmade piece.

Is it worth commissioning custom from farther away?

I think so. You still get hand-milled hardwood, a piece built to your exact size and finish, and a lifetime guarantee — none of which you get from a store-bought table.
