Chester Custom Woodworks

Chester Custom Woodworks Chester Custom Woodworks is a one man shop focused on quality. I do everything from furniture repair, custom built ins to remodeling and general carpentry.

Chester Custom Woodworks is a one man shop based out of Fredericktown, Ohio. As growing up building custom homes and doing residential remodeling I got a grasp on quality, and what IS right/wrong. I Studied Fine Woodworking and Industrial Technology at the University of Rio Grande in Southeastern Ohio. I only produce pieces that will last a lifetime. Quality craftsmanship, design, and usability ar

e my main focus to ensure a happy customer that will be able to hand down whatever I build to their great grandchildren. Using old school techniques and ideals as well as modern day machinery and production I can achieve virtually anything and everything your mind can imagine.

Since I mentioned how excited I am about my current projects in the last post, here's a video showcasing the richly figured walnut desk top.

I was given creative freedom for a new office space, so I pulled a bookmatched set of figured walnut slabs from my private stash and started laying the office out from there. The main feature of this office is the L-shaped desk, but there are so many more note-able things going in. Keep an eye out for upcoming updates about that, as I'm very excited to share what I've come up with!

Turns out the haters were, in fact, wrong.

I recently purchased this Walnut slab from for the commission of an 8' round dining table.

I haven't seen anything like this in my 18 years of building furniture, and I cannot find the words to express my gratitude toward the world about how excited and thankful I am. (even though my current project is equally fulfilling)

Thank you God, Thank you to my loud supporters and Thank you to the people that said "woodworking isn't a career", "what are you gonna do, make birdhouses?" and "woodworking is just a hobby"... you have fueled a quiet monster for years.

2026 is the one

Everyone deserves a space of their own, that feels their own.

Swipe ➡️ to go from the before - to the final rendering and the finished space. (Client has since hung artwork, automobile memorabilia and other items to really dial in his office/mancave)

If you have a space, whether it be a home office/library, basement, etc.. that you would like to convert into a more functional, unique and usable space, message me today!

Any questions about this project, feel free to comment or DM for detailed info.

Think your life is hard? I'm sure this tree thought so too, but look at it now.

The ups and downs of life can be reflected upon in the crotch figure of this walnut 🌳. You see..the undulating waves of weather change, varying stresses and conditions this tree (and you) has seen and survived tell a story only you truly know. It's easy to get caught up comparing, looking over, and seeing how green the neighbor's lawn is, but the reality of it all is simply this... the grass is green where it's watered.

Love your scars, be easy on yourself but also go kick ass, because you're awesome and only you. 👊
