Furniture designed around your space.
Custom tables, cabinets, and built-ins crafted by hand from locally harvested timber. Every piece starts with a conversation. Let’s create something meaningful together.
Who We Are
I’m Marc Stimpson, a furniture maker who finds inspiration in nature and in God’s creation. I grew up working alongside my father in the trades, where I learned the value of hard work, craftsmanship, and attention to detail. In 2011, I turned that foundation into my own business, creating one-of-a-kind pieces that reflect both timeless design and the beauty of the natural world.
Beyond the workshop, I’m a husband to an amazing wife, a talented photographer, and a proud father of two. Together, we make our home in a quiet valley in New England — a place that continues to shape my work with its landscapes, seasons, and sense of community.
Life on our property is full and lively. We care for a flock of twelve chickens, three spirited goats, and our loyal poodle, Winston. A large garden rounds out our homestead, giving us a deeper connection to the land and a rhythm to the seasons. These daily experiences with animals, growth, and the cycles of nature constantly influence both my outlook and my craft.

“Marc made a beautiful black walnut live edge table with bench for our home. I love it and it is so precious that it will be given as an inheritance to my daughter once I pass on.”

Had an absolutely fantastic experience with Hopes Workshop!. Owner Marc is a extremely talented craftsman and was wonderful to work with on my project. I was looking for a custom live-edge library desk. He designed and created one of the most beautiful pieces of furniture I have seen.... Marc was great to work with....listened carefully to my ideas and brought them to life. It was an easy decision to move on to the next projects with Marc and I am sure to be relying on him in the future. If your looking for beautifully built and unique furniture.....go to Marc!
