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 custom furniture maker specializing in handcrafted wood tables built to last for generations. Since 2011, I’ve been designing and building custom dining tables, farmhouse tables, and solid wood furniture using high quality hardwoods and time tested techniques.
Growing up in the trades alongside my father, I developed a deep respect for craftsmanship, durability, and attention to detail. Today, every table I build reflects that foundation combining timeless design with the natural beauty of real wood. Each piece is made by hand, ensuring no two tables are ever the same.
Based in New England, my work is heavily influenced by the surrounding landscape, seasons, and a lifestyle rooted in simplicity and purpose. From carefully selecting each slab to the final finish, my goal is to create custom wood tables that become the centerpiece of your home where family and friends gather for years to come.
In addition to building furniture, I live on a small homestead with my wife and two children. We raise chickens, goats, and grow our own food, which keeps me closely connected to the natural materials I work with every day. That connection shows up in every piece I create.
If you’re searching for a custom dining table, handcrafted wood table, or solid wood furniture built in New England, I’d love to work with you to design something that fits your space and your life.

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!
