Something else in mind?

Shelving, benches, signs, gifts, shop projects, repairs — one-off custom woodworking is most of what I do. If it can be built by hand, tell me about it and I'll tell you straight whether I'm the right shop for it.

The owner

If it isn't good enough for my own home, it doesn't leave the shop.

The Lovett family — Oakland, Maine

I'm Ryan, and Lovett Made is my one-person woodshop here in Oakland — that's my family up there. Every piece is built by hand and made to order, which means it's built for you, at a pace that lets me get the details right instead of shoving it out the door. Square corners, tight joints, edges knocked down smooth, and a finish that holds. My name goes on this work, so I'd rather take the time and do it right the first time. If I'm not the right shop for what you need, I'll tell you that too.
