Our Story: Built on a Quarter-Century of Craft

Master Woodworking from Our Family to Yours

At Woodcrafts By Design LLC, we believe that furniture and cabinetry should do more than just fill a space—they should define it. Based in Dayton and serving the surrounding communities, our shop was founded on a simple, uncompromising principle: If it’s worth building, it’s worth building to last a lifetime.

25 Years of Precision

With over two decades of hands-on experience, our journey has been defined by a deep respect for raw materials and the traditional joinery techniques that stand the test of time. We’ve spent 25 years refining our process, from the initial sketch on a notepad to the final coat of lacquer finish.

Why Custom Matters

In an era of mass-produced, "flat-pack" furniture, we offer an alternative. We specialize in one-of-a-kind solutions for the challenges that standard cabinetry can't solve. Whether it’s scribing a mantle to a 100-year-old stone fireplace or engineering a kitchen layout that eliminates every inch of wasted space, our work is tailored specifically to the architecture of your home and the rhythm of your life.

The Pillars of Our Shop

• Premium Materials: We source only the finest hardwoods—including Cherry, Walnut, Quartersawn White Oak, and Brown Maple—ensuring your investment looks as good in thirty years as it does on the day of installation.

• Family Values: As a family-owned and operated business, our reputation is built into every dovetail joint and every finished surface. When you work with us, you’re working directly with the craftsmen responsible for your project.

• The Intersection of Art & Tech: While we honor old-world traditions, we embrace modern precision. From high-end CAD design to integrated LED lighting and specialized laser engraving, we combine the best of both worlds.

"We don't just build cabinets; we build the backdrop for your family's most important memories—from morning coffee in a custom breakfast nook to holiday dinners around a handmade walnut table."
