Woodencraft Custom Cabinets

Glen does incredible cabinetry. The kitchen cabinets he did for us were beyond our expectations — they were perfection and so gorgeously finished. The bathroom cabinetry is equally as spectacular. His attention to detail is unsurpassed. We get huge compliments on our kitchen cabinets from everyone who sees them. He’s also a very nice guy and easy to work with. I cannot recommend Glen enough!

If you state to Glen that you don’t want particle board (also called MDF) used in your cabinets, he might still use it. Be very careful if you are going to utilize his services. The cabinets look very pretty. However, a huge portion is composed of a product that is essentially sawdust and glue and will quickly degrade over time, especially if gouged or exposed to water.
Buyer beware!

I need to explain first that I didn’t wind up using Glen for my upcoming kitchen remodel, but I had such positive interactions with him that I wanted to give him a shout out here. The only reason I didn’t go with him was that I was able to work with a cabinet company out of Canada that came closer to my price point and within my time frame. However, Glen’s bid for custom cabinets was not that extreme price-​wise and it was a tough call not to give him the job. I was impressed with his knowledge, his down-​to-​earth and very personable manner, and some great ideas he came up with in our meetings. Based on previous reviewers and examples of his work, I’m confident his attention to detail and craftsmanship are worth what he charges.

Glen Osborne is an old world craftsman in a new age of business. He is creative, meticulous, and driven to excellence — and he delivers it.
Glen and his shop mates just finished the construction and installation our new kitchen cabinets. He has an good eye for maximizing the use of space and an artist’s vision for design. Every detail is important.
Glen is true collaborator; he listens; he is respectful of the ideas of others; and, he explains, clearly and concisely, what he considers to be the best solutions.
In an age of mass produced cabinets, one might think that one could not afford hand made, «one off» craftsmanship. But, it’s not true. Glen’s prices were higher than the big box store brands — but, not much higher. For the difference in price, we got custom cabinets that fit our needs and our space — something the box stores could not offer.
And, we got Glen answering questions and making suggestions all along the way.
Probably more importantly, Glen did the installation. His standards are incredibly high. Everything had to fit just right. No oversized moldings to cover flaws; flaws were not part of the equation.
One day I walked in to see Glen removing a cabinet piece that had been installed an hour or so before. I asked him why. With a concerned look on his face, he took me to the spot and said «Look, the front is tilting forward about ¹⁄₈^th of an inch.» I would never have seen it, and I’m picky. I like the fact that he is pickier than I am.
Bottom Line: An outstanding product, an outstanding experience, and a very fair price.
Thank you, Glen.

Glen Osborn is my favorite «rock star» of cabinetry and design. Over the past 3 or 4 years I’ve been lucky enough to have Glen design and build four very different projects for me in my home in Petaluma. The first was additional kitchen cabinets, bookshelf and a wainscoting wall to connect them. He matched the rest of the cabinetry so that it looked like they had always been there. Next he made a beautiful built-​in, long, side board or buffet in my living room. I was blown away by his detailed approach and the high quality of his product. Next he built custom cabinetry for my master bathroom. He also changed the trim work on the doors to keep and match the consistency of the look matching the multiple new cabinets. Most recently he helped me get both my home office and Hobby/​Art room to be more efficient and organized by adding fold out drawing boards and additional drawers.
I can’t recommend Glen highly enough, I’m looking forward to my next project with him. I would love to do a whole house with him. And by the way, he provides the best estimates I’ve ever seen, detailed so you can make good decisions and know exactly what everything means. And on top of all this — he’s one of the most considerate and pleasant people I know. You will not be disappointed if you work with him. Best Regards, Mindi, Petaluma

Woodencraft’s owner, Glen Osborn, designed and built all the cabinetry in our custom home; he is exceptionally talented in designing and constructing his products. Glen listens to client concerns — including cost control — and has a great sense for what will and will not work in proposed designs. He’s a very nice guy who went so far as to invite me to his shop to help select which piece of cherry plywood I’d like to see on each cabinet and on a handmade desk, an hour that included a discussion of where tight and wide grain would be most appropriate. Another plus is his use of first-​rate Blum hinges that self-​close very smoothly.
Woodencraft’s prices for custom work are not cheap but they are fair and quite competitive. Where this outfit really shines is in the quality and timeliness of the work and Glen’s responsiveness to client concerns.
