Special Projects
Custom Woodworking
Every now and then someone reaches out to us for a special woodworking project. While, our primary focus is on creating our Cutting, Charcuterie Boards, and our Tasting and Drink Rails, we do take on additional projects. Here are some projects that we have done and are made on request. If you have a woodworking project that you would like to see if we can build, please contact and we will let you know.
Heirloom Cherry Cradle
I’ve made this same cradle for my daughter for the birth of our first granddaughter in 2011, and it worked great for our two other granddaughters as well! When we learned that our friend’s son was expecting a son, I jumped on building another one that his family can use for generations to come.
I am currently only building these for the local New England area market to come to the woodshop to pick up, as I have not found a shipping company that is cost effective for shipping these nationally, as of this time. We can also arrange for a curb-side delivery for a fee to cover the costs.
If you are not local but still want one, then…road trip! Come to New Hampshire, enjoy all that our beautiful state has to offer. The White Mountains, the Lakes Region, our Seacoast, the Connecticut River Valley and of course, leaf peeping and maple syrup. Then you can swing by Drouin’s Glen and pick up your hand-built heirloom cradle from our workshop.
I would need at least 2 months’ notice to build this as it is both time consuming and needs to fit into the inventory build schedule. The total build time from a pile of cherry wood to the finished cradle is between 50 – 60 hours. I do not stain cherry. Cherry is one of the most beautiful of woods and ages magnificently. The aged look that everyone wants stain to do, doesn’t do it. Father Time does that, so be patient!
Price: Starting at $3,875
Custom Island Counter Top
The 1 ½” (+\- 1/8”) thick Kitchen Island Countertop is made from solid walnut and finished with the Drouin’s Glen signature end caps. The walnut used to create the top are 4” – 8” wide boards using the face-grain for the most beautiful presentation possible. The walnut is then finished with Rubio Monocoat hard wax oil wood protector and two coats of carnauba wax.
Island countertops can be made to any size needed on request, but there would need to be a 4 to 8-week lead time to allow the order to be scheduled and completed. I am currently only building these for the local New England area market to come to the woodshop to pick up, as I have not found a shipping company that is cost effective for shipping these nationally as of this time. We can also arrange for a curb-side delivery for a fee to cover the costs, I cannot install due to military injuries. If you are not local but still want one, then…road trip to New Hampshire!
Price: Starting at $1,150
Island of Misfit Boards
Every now and then an “oopsies” occurs. Something like, we’re almost finished with the board and the wood tears out with the router, or there is a knot in one of the pieces. Either way, the board is perfectly fine, but cannot be sold for full price as there is a blemish so it is not 100%.
Another way is your just about ready for bed and boom; “The Max Headroom movie is coming on! I haven’t seen that since the 80’s, sweet!” (Yeah, I dated myself). You crank up the TV, open that “extra” bottle of wine and voila, the next morning you realize you aren’t 21 anymore. You then mistake the ¼” line on the tape measure for the ¾” line and cut away; well, you can’t add wood “back” …so here we are. After wondering if you were dropped on your head as a child multiple times, it’s posted on this page at a discount. It’s smaller than production but still perfectly fine and beautiful.
If there are not any boards posted here, then we are doing great! If there are…enjoy the discount and ignore that “You @!#$%^~ genius” scream…it’s only me, but the movie was good!
