What I Build
Every Benner Built project starts with a need, an idea, or a space that deserves something better than a one-size-fits all solution.
Below are examples of the pieces that I can build. If you do not see your idea listed, send it anyway - custom commissions are welcome.
What I Offer
Custom Desks & Tables
Desks and tables built around your dimensions, room, and intended use. Options may include L-shaped desks, dining tables, coffee tables, sofa tables, buffet tables, serving tables, and other made-to-fit designs.
Available choices may include wood species, overall dimensions, leg or base style, stain or paint color, sheen, and practical features such as shelves or cable management.
Home & Kitchen Pieces
Useful, handcrafted pieces that add warmth and function to your home. Common projects include stove covers, cutting boards, serving pieces, small benches, and other made-to-order items.
Food-contact pieces will use finishes selected for their intended use. Care instructions will be provided when needed .
Outdoor Woodworking
Outdoor pieces such as planters and Adirondack chairs can be built with materials and finishes selected for exterior use. Like all outdoor wood products, these pieces require periodic care to look their best and last as long as possible.
Shelving, Storage & Accent Furniture
Custom shelving, display pieces, planters, entryway furniture, accent tables, and practical storage solutions designed to fit your home and your style.
Shop Essentials
Have an idea that does not fit neatly into a category? Tell me what you are trying to create. Photos, rough sketches, inspiration images, and room measurements are all helpful. I will let you know whether the project is a good fit and talk through the next steps.

Materials & Finishes
Material recommendations will depend on the project, desired appearance, budget, anwhere the piece will be used. Options may include select construction lumber, hardwoods, plywood, reclaimed material when appropriate, stains, painted finishes, clear protective finishes, and exterior-rated products.
Because wood is a natural material, grain, knots, color, and other characteristics will vary. These variations are not defects, they are part of what makes each handmade piece unique.
