Carter Wood Studio - Plymouth, Michigan

Jeff and Tim "adapted" our matching glass top tables (2 end tables, 1 coffee table, and 1 sofa table) to solid white oak top tables. Their care removing the old glass top frames, and their expertise in the selection of the replacement wood and stain to match the existing bases was impeccable. Jeff provided us with a clear timeline and photos along the way, and the project was remarkably quick. We are delighted with the workmanship, and the "transformed" tables look beautiful with our existing decor. We highly recommend Jeff and his team!

I cannot speak more highly of Jeff and his craftsmanship. We reached out with a loose idea for a custom live-edge coffee table and he brought our vision to life. Jeff was extremely communicative throughout each step of the process, allowing us to make final decisions on our design, wood selection, and stain, all while giving us his expert opinion on how to best match our decor. His work speaks for itself and we’ve received countless compliments on our table. I recommend his business to all of my friends and family in need of custom woodworking, and I would not hesitate to use Carter Wood Studio again.

To say Jeff is very talented would be an understatement. He excels in all of the products that he has made, and continues to grow and improve. When I moved into my new condo back in 2020, I wanted a floating shelf in my living room and he exceeded my expectations. Jeff is reliable and genuinely cares about every product he makes. He also installed the shelf for me! I loved the shelf so much I also had him build me a bench for my entry hallway AND a vanity for my bathroom (which yes he installed for me too). With all the products made, you can tell Jeff took his time paying attention to detail to make both products unremarkable. I hands down would recommend having Jeff build you something rather than a store bought item. I can tell the difference between the wood work that Jeff made versus a store bought item. There is no comparison - Jeff’s work is amazing!!!!

Our custom black walnut mantle is the perfect touch to our basement! The finish on this piece of wood is impeccable. Jeff’s attention to detail, and level of craftsmanship is unmatched! Thank you Jeff for a seamless experience from start to finish. Would recommend him to anyone looking for custom pieces for their home!

Incredible experience and so worth the money! We needed a specific, very custom functional piece that we would not be able to find online and Jeff nailed it! The craftsmanship and attention to detail is wonderful, and the entire process was incredible. Jeff communicates with you throughout the process to keep you up to date on the progress of the project, which we appreciated, and the turnaround time was quick as well! We definitely recommend him if you need any custom furniture built.

So, how can I top the other five-star reviews! My experience working with Jeff is absolutely in line with all of the consistent reviews singing his praise. Jeff exceeded my expectations in every aspect of our business/client relationship. His expertise, one-of-a-kind artistry, open collaboration and suggestions, excellent communication and responsiveness, work ethic and integrity, and so much more, earned him his much deserved five-star rating.

I need to step back to the beginning, which was the start of a dream come true for me. I recently moved back to Michigan, after living in Colorado for 25 years. About ten years ago, I did a significant remodel of my townhouse. I am very fond of Native American culture and art. I had alot of custom work done; my fireplace mantel and refacing, being my favorite. It was emotional for me to leave my labor of love behind... sigh. I thought that I would never find this type of artistry again. I looked for mantels everywhere. There was nothing that could compare. I felt so defeated until I came across Jeff in my search, and he was right in my backyard!

Jeff responded to me the same day. When we sat down and spoke, it was heartwarming to feel his understanding of my wants and needs. I was tearful when I realized "he got it." It was nothing but elation as I saw it come together. The finished mantel and refacing brought tears of joy (sorry for being a cry baby Jeff)!

Below are photos for your viewing. The one to the far right, was the before here. The one to the left was what I gave up in Colorado, and the one in the middle is Jeff's beautiful masterpiece. I LOVE it! I have had numerous recognitions of its beautiful and perfection. THANK YOU JEFF for helping me to realize my dream! I can't wait for future projects together. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND JEFF... it doesn't get any better. 🙂

Jeff did an amazing job designing a custom dining room table, bench, and side/end tables for our family hunting lodge. From start to finish, easy to work with & efficient. Final product looks excellent and really solidified the room. Thank you very much!

Working with Jeff was a great experience and the end result was even better than expected. He provided so many great options and ideas for us to consider. He kept us updated throughout the project and made sure we were happy at each step. I highly recommend Jeff and am glad we trusted him with our project.
