Gist Wood Designs

At Gist Wood Designs, we're committed to creating high-quality, handcrafted furniture that's tailored to your unique style and needs. Our story began with a passion for woodworking, ignited by a vast collection of books on the craft. With years of experience living and working on boats in the maritime trade, our founder, Benjamin Gist, finally decided to hang up his sea bag and pursue his true calling. Today, we're dedicated to building furniture that lasts for generations, bringing joy and satisfaction to families like yours.

Our Mission

Our mission is simple: to create custom furniture that's not only aesthetically pleasing but also built to last. We believe that the art of woodworking is a reflection of love, care, and attention to detail. That's why we use only the finest materials and take the time to craft each piece with precision and dedication. Whether you're seeking a custom design, restoration, or reproduction, we're here to help you create a masterpiece that tells your story.

Services

We offer a range of services designed to bring your unique vision to life. Our design process begins with a consultation to understand your style, preferences, and requirements. We then work closely with you to create a custom design that exceeds your expectations. Our restoration services focus on revitalizing antiques and reproducing pieces to complete your collection. We also offer wood milling services, taking rough-cut lumber from tree to veneer. And, if you have sentimental wood that holds special memories, we can help you transform it into a family heirloom through our reclaim service.
