Custom hardwood projects handcrafted in New Hampshire — designed to be used, gifted, and remembered.
At 3 Dogs Woodworking, every custom hardwood project begins with your idea and is brought to life using carefully selected domestic and exotic woods. From cutting boards and charcuterie boards to cribbage boards, humidors, home décor, and one-of-a-kind gifts, each piece is thoughtfully designed to be both functional and meaningful. Whether you’re looking for a personalized centerpiece for your home or a handcrafted gift that tells a story, this is where your custom woodworking project takes shape.
I work with a wide range of materials including maple, walnut, cherry, oak, cedar, purpleheart, and padauk, along with modern materials such as HDPE and acrylic when durability or contrast is needed. Every build is guided by conversation, craftsmanship, and attention to detail — creating custom hardwood pieces that are truly unique and built to last.
