What We Do
As masters of fine woodworking, Woodmasters designs and creates custom furniture and cabinetry, architectural interiors, and perform restorations of all kinds. A full-service shop, we work closely with architects, designers, and home owners, from initial design to delivery of the finished product.
As part of our process, we meet with you to understand your needs and goals for the project. Our next step is to produce project drawings for approval. After generating the drawings, in some cases we create mockups for you to preview the design concept. Based on our decades of experience in choosing materials, veneers, construction techniques, and finishes, we select these elements for the project and provide samples for review and approval. Then building begins.
Our Personal Touch
Wally or Dave will guide you through all phases of your project: design, construction, and installation. We fabricate and construct your product in our own one-of-a-kind shop. When we install your project—whether that entails built-in paneling or cabinetry or simply carrying in your new hand-made furniture, your complete satisfaction is our greatest reward.
Architectural Millwork
Woodmasters offers an array of pieces and parts to enhance your project or complete a project that we are doing for you. Missing a few balusters on your old Victorian staircase? Our in-house turner, Dave Pollak, will match the old ones to the “T.” Entry doors, curved sash, carved corbels, even compound curved mouldings are all in our realm of expertise.

Classic Interiors
Many of the rooms built by Woodmasters, have been recognized as some of the finest in the country. A well-known and long-time friend, Frank Klausz, visited one of our walnut libraries. His comment was, “You would have to visit one of the palaces in Europe to find such design and craftsmanship.” We will work in any style, with your design or ours.

Cabinetry
Using a wealth of experience and only the finest materials, the term “cabinetmaker” takes on its true meaning. The title must be earned. Cabinetry should reflect the same high quality as the furniture. We create custom, hand-made cabinetry; your or our design, classic or contemporary – built, delivered. and installed by our craftsmen. We create hand crafted kitchen cabinetry, pantries, display cabinets, storage and gun cabinets, entertainment centers, sound system cabinets, and so much more.

Furniture
Exquisite pieces of furniture have been crafted here at Woodmasters. Some are award winning. The only time we get something back is when we want it back.

Wood Turning
With thirty-five-plus years on the wood lathe, there has not been a turning yet that Dave Pollak couldn’t execute. These finials were a challenge that he tackled back in the early nineties.
We create stair parts, balusters / newelposts, chair parts, knobs, flame finials, and columns. In the process of restoration work, we can match parts exactly – any parts – tiny to large.

Restoration
It takes a vast skill-set to resore an “old world” piece – from hand-tool joinery, to carving, to inlay, and the whole spectrum of finishing. We have what it takes.
