The Story Behind
Third Stall Customs
Based in a 3rd-stall garage in West Des Moines, Iowa, Third Stall Customs is a labor of love dedicated to the craft of woodworking.
Built in the Evenings
By day, I work a full-time professional job. By night and on weekends, you'll find me in the garage with sawdust on my boots and a chisel in my hand.
Third Stall Customs isn't a high-volume factory or a big-box retailer. It's a one-man shop where every piece is built with a level of attention that only a side project can afford. Because I don't have to meet production quotas, I can focus on getting the joinery exactly right.
An Honest Approach
Patience
Good woodworking takes time. I don't rush the process, from selecting the lumber to the final coat of finish.
Utility
Furniture should be beautiful, but it must be functional. I design pieces that are meant to be used and lived around.
Humility
I am a student of the craft. Every project is an opportunity to learn, improve, and share the journey with you.
Let's build something honest.
Whether it's a custom table or a simple set of shelves, I'd love to hear what you have in mind for your home.
