Custom Woodworking

Wood, resin and one-off pieces made to be kept.

Cutting boards, cigar ashtrays, custom signs and other woodworking projects give Bear Design another place to do what the name says: design and create something custom.

Cutting Boards

Custom wood boards with attention to grain, layout, finish and details that make each piece unique.

Cigar Ashtrays

Handmade custom pieces that combine woodworking, shaping, finish work and, where appropriate, resin accents.

Custom Signs

One-off signs and decorative pieces created for homes, businesses, gifts and special projects.

Made-to-order process

Start with the piece, size and style you have in mind.

Every commission begins with a short design conversation. Share a reference, dimensions and the setting where the piece will be used, and we can discuss fit, material direction and next steps.

Share the idea

Send the item type, approximate dimensions, intended use and any inspiration photos.

Choose the direction

Discuss wood character, resin color, personalization and the finish that suits the piece.

Confirm the build

Scope, pricing and timing are confirmed before custom work begins.

Real-project photos only: the woodworking portfolio will be added as finished pieces are prepared for the site. No stock-image placeholders are being shown.
