Turning Sticks into Treasures
Handcrafted custom woodworking built around stories, memories, and meaningful moments. Every piece starts with an idea, a conversation, and a carefully chosen piece of wood.
At 3 Dogs Woodworking, custom woodworking in New Hampshire begins with the materials themselves. Each project starts with carefully selected woods — from aromatic cedar and durable domestic hardwoods like maple, cherry, walnut, and oak, to striking exotic hardwoods such as purpleheart and padauk. You can explore more about the character, uses, and visual qualities of these materials on the Woods Selection page.
But the wood is only part of the story.
Many projects featured here have personal meaning behind them — gifts, memorial pieces, retirement keepsakes, heirloom humidors, custom cribbage boards, and one-of-a-kind home décor. These stories are shared in the Stories Behind the Wood section, where each build reflects a moment, a person, or a purpose that goes far beyond the finished piece itself.
This shop is guided by craftsmanship, patience, and a commitment to building items meant to be used, displayed, and remembered. The personality behind the work — and occasionally the decision-making — can be found on the Board of Directors page, where the shop’s four-legged leadership team plays a role in daily operations. You can also read about Our Story.
If you’re looking for something unique, meaningful, or simply well made, the What I Build page offers a structured look at the types of projects available — from kitchen boards and humidors to signs, keepsake boxes, and fully custom work.
Every build begins with a conversation, an idea, and a piece of wood with potential.
Custom woodworking and CNC-crafted pieces, built in New Hampshire with patience, precision, and a deep respect for the story behind each project. From humidors and cribbage boards to signs, keepsakes, and one-of-a-kind builds, every piece is thoughtfully made to be used, gifted, and kept for years to come.

Custom Woodworking with Soul.
At 3 Dogs Woodworking, every piece is thoughtfully designed, carefully crafted, and finished by hand. Blending CNC precision with traditional woodworking techniques, we create small-batch, one-of-a-kind pieces meant to be used, gifted, and remembered — built with care, character, and a little help from three very good dogs.
