​Welc​ome To
​Black Star Customs

We create
beautiful things,
​just about anything.

We are a small woodworking shop in the first state. Being based in the Mid Atlantic we are lucky to be about 1.5 hours away from Washington D.C., Baltimore & Philadelphia. We design and build just about anything you can sit on, plant in, gather around or just admire. Feel free to take a look around.

Dream big is what we say. Once you do that - push that idea as far as you can. Lastly, don't settle and don't let people bring you down from that dream. This planet needs more original ideas and creative people with beautiful ideas.

Design

Design is at the forefront of everything that we do. We look at what is trending, what has been done and what we feel is up and coming. From there, we abstract all that to come up with something unique for your design.

There's something to be said for character. The custom furniture designed and built in this woodshop is full of character. This means knots, saw marks, bug holes, checks (cracks) and other inclusions that others may see as "seconds" and wish to discard, we love all that and then some! Anything that shows Mother Nature was involved and that this one of a kind piece was touched by a human being is considered lovely! You want "piano finish" this is not the shop for you. You want something built to last that you're friends & family will want from your will - this is the shop for you!

Build

When we build it - it's built right and we stand behind it. We don't want just you to enjoy it - we want your grandkids to fight over it as well.


We don't have a marketing budget. Our customers do all the marketing and selling we need. Happy customers are the lifeblood of this shop. We are nothing without them.
