About
Wooden Hammer is Ben — one craftsman in a Vermont workshop. Not a factory, not a showroom chain. Every cabinet, every shelf, every table passes through the same hands from first sketch to final fit.
Ben works with sustainably sourced hardwoods and brings a background in mid-century design to every project. The result is furniture that feels rooted — pieces that belong in a room rather than just occupying it.
Clients come from Burlington, South Burlington, and as far as Manhattan. They come once, and then they send their neighbors.
What Ben builds
Custom cabinetry designed around your kitchen, not around a catalog. Frameless, face-frame, inset, or overlay — built to your exact dimensions and finish preference.
A bathroom vanity that looks like furniture, not like something delivered flat in a box. Custom sizes, species, and hardware combinations — with the dovetail joints to prove it's real.
Bookcases, window seats, mudroom benches, and entertainment centers that read as part of the architecture — not afterthoughts bolted to the wall.
Dining tables, desks, side tables, and one-off pieces built around a story: live-edge slab for the kitchen island, walnut for the reading nook — whatever the room calls for.
One stroke. One curl of wood.
