Custom Furniture Design

Tom is willing to consider most furniture designs but prefers to concentrate his work on Shaker or Arts and Craft designs. Tom can and has built most every kind of table including farmhouse, dining tables, river tables, end tables, sofa tables and coffee tables. His tables are made of solid wood and according to the wood species you prefer.

Notice the beds, especially for boys, include bookshelves built into the headboards for books, trophies, balls, etc. He has been building tables for over 60 years, see the picture of the small table he build in 1961.

    “We are so privileged to have several pieces of Tom’s woodworking ‘art’ in our home. He built the bookcase and desk in my husband’s home office along with several elegant bowls and candle holders through out our house. Every detail is attended to, creating stunning wood designs.”

    Dr. Alan Byrd, Olive Branch Optometry

    “Tom Holt has crafted some amazing woodwork for my new Olive Branch Optometry office in Raleigh/Cary. His attention to detail is wonderful. I just told Tom what I wanted, gave him a draft of what I was trying to do and he gave me excellent direction as to how to even improve the outcome!” 

    Brenda and Arne Newman

    “Tom’s appreciation for the Creator’s gift of beautiful wood and his love for working with wood are contagious and evident in whatever comes out of his shop. You will enjoy knowing Tom as much as you will enjoy his work.”

    Holly and Jimmie Evans

    “We have several pieces that Tom has made.  The quality is amazing and he is very professional.  I highly recommend using him.“

    Brian and Alisha Lloyd

    “Excellent craftsmanship and care taken into creating a table for our family of 7.   Attention to detail, and custom made to your desire. Tom built it exactly as we designed and discussed. It will be a treasure for our family to years to come and a centerpiece of our home. We could not have been more pleased! “

    Gert Oehler

    “After 40 years of having my “Christmas In The City” village and always wanting to save space because I had 35 buildings, I drew up a plan for it in the shape of a christmas tree and Tom made my dream a reality.  I knew I had to have holes for the lights and cords and he perfected my drawing and it turned out better than I could have imagined!”
