Planters, birdhouses & lanterns, built one board at a time.
Garden planters and raised beds from pressure-treated lumber and cedar, birdhouses that last, and LED tea-light lanterns for every season. Built to order, priced plainly, ready for local pickup.
What's usually in the shop
Everything here has been built and sold before, so sizing and pricing are proven. Stain, paint color, and dimensions can usually be adjusted — mention it when you order.
Garden planters & stands
Birdhouses
Seasonal & holiday decor
Pumpkin lantern — removable top, LED tea light included
LED tea-light lanterns
Hand-cut wooden lanterns with a flame-free flickering LED tea light inside. Safe on a mantel, a porch step, or a kid's windowsill, and they make an easy gift. Pick a shape for the season, or mix a few for a set.
Tap a shape to start an order. Holiday shapes are made to order, so ask early if you want pickup before Christmas.
“Local woodworking shop in central Maine. Quick response. Willing to take custom orders.”— Facebook Marketplace buyer
BH Custom Woodworking is a one-person shop in Winslow built around a router table, a stack of pressure-treated lumber, and requests from neighbors. It started with furniture for our own house and for my wife's craft business, and grew into a steady run of garden planters, birdhouses, and seasonal decor.
Everything is cut, assembled, and finished here, with a router setup that also handles routed signs and custom cutouts. I'll build from your photo, your measurements, or your own idea — and the regulars above are usually ready to go or built to order within a week or two.
Buyers on Facebook consistently call out communication, pricing, and accurate item descriptions. That carries over here.
Custom orders welcome
Send a photo of something you've seen, or describe what you need. I'll design the piece or build from your reference, in the size and finish you want.
- Custom-size planters, raised beds, stands, and boxes
- Routed & carved signs, house numbers, name plaques
- Lantern shapes outside the current lineup
- Matching sets or bulk orders for a business or event
How ordering & payment works
Orders are confirmed before they're paid. That keeps sizing, stain color, and build timing straight for everyone.
Send your request
Use the form below, or text or message directly if that's easier. Include size, color, and quantity if you know them.
I confirm details & timing
Expect a reply within a day or two confirming price, finish, and a realistic ready-by date. Nothing is built or reserved until this step is done.
Pay via Venmo, then pick up
Once details are confirmed, payment is by Venmo. Pickup is local to Winslow, ME, with some drop-off available depending on distance.
Please don't send payment before your order is confirmed. Venmo: @bruce-harrington-16. After you send a request I'll follow up to confirm price, sizing, and timing, then give the go-ahead to pay. This protects you if an item is out of stock, a custom size changes the price, or the build timeline needs adjusting.
Send an order request
Takes about a minute. You'll pick how to send it — email, text, or copy it into a Facebook message.
Almost done — send it your way
Here's your request. Pick whichever is easiest; each one delivers the same message to the shop.
I'll reply within a day or two to confirm price and timing. Edit the request
