Who is Britten Woodworking?

Woodworking is what I do. I have been doing it for over 30 years.

I trained under a German master craftsman and have been building in Connecticut ever since. My work covers custom cabinetry and millwork, elaborate doorways, and raised paneling.

The Process

No shortcuts. No veneers.

Start a Project

Every commission starts with a site visit. We talk about how the piece will be used, then I draw the elevation by hand. No CAD. No shortcuts. No production shop sending work overseas.

Every project is built for your home and goals, using the methods that best fit the design, timeline, and budget.
