Welcome to Makers Woodshop

Where locally sourced hardwood becomes custom furniture for the places people gather, work, and live.

Distinctive Woodwork for the Spaces That Matter Most

We create custom woodwork for homes, businesses, and hospitality spaces, from dining tables and kitchen islands to conference tables, bar tops, shelving, and wall art, all designed to bring warmth, function, and lasting presence to the room.

Proudly Made in Maryland, Designed to Stand Out

Every piece is made to order in Maryland from fallen or recycled Maryland lumber, giving each project the kind of natural character, craftsmanship, and one-of-a-kind feel that mass-produced furniture can never replicate.

From Raw Slabs to Finished Pieces, All In-House

Because we mill, dry, flatten, and finish in-house, we can offer custom furniture, bar tops, kitchen features, slabs, dimensional lumber, and milling support with more flexibility in size, material, and design.

What Our Clients Say About Us

Frequently Asked Questions

We create custom woodwork for homes, businesses, and hospitality spaces, including dining tables, conference tables, desks, kitchen islands, bar tops, shelving, mantels, wall art, and other one-of-a-kind pieces designed around the space they are made for.

We work with residential, commercial, and hospitality clients across Maryland and the surrounding area, creating custom pieces for homes, offices, restaurants, bars, breweries, and other spaces that want something distinctive, functional, and built to last.

Each piece begins with locally sourced Maryland lumber from fallen or removed trees, milled and crafted by Makers Woodshop here in the Baltimore area. By giving this wood a second life, we preserve its natural character while creating furniture and architectural pieces with a story that is deeply connected to the region.

A big part of the difference is that so much of the process is done in-house. Makers Woodshop mills and dries its own lumber, which allows for greater flexibility in size, species, and design.

Yes. We also work with woodworkers, makers, and other professionals who want premium live edge slabs, custom dimensional lumber, or guidance selecting the right species, thickness, and character for their own build. Wood working has quite the learning curve and we love to share tips and tricks that we’ve learned over the years with other wood working enthusiasts.

We’d love to hear from you and go through all the options together. Every project is a little different, and part of what we enjoy most is helping people sort through the possibilities, whether that means choosing the right wood, figuring out the best size, or deciding what style makes the most sense for the space. Whether you know exactly what you want or are still working through the idea, we’d be glad to talk it through and help bring it to life.
