At Brett's Customs, I specialize in creative wood and expoy sculpture, cutting boards, bowls, serving trays, and other woodworking creations. The dolphin pictured here is my biggest sculpture to date. Contact me for commissioned work.

Hey there. I'm Brett, software developer by day, woodworker on the weekends. I started my woodworking journey in March of 2022 building my first custom river table in my Dad's basement. Since then, I've grown to love the pursuit and have built more river tables, dozens of end grain cutting boards, bowl sets, and custom wood and expoxy sculptures.
My favorite type of woodworking is combining wood, epoxy, and sometimes seashells into custom tables, trays, small cabinets and boxes, and sculpture. My partner and I love collecting seashells on our travels, and incorporating them into woodwork is a great way to keep them from collecting dust in the basement.
The picnic table was a fun project. It is made primarily of Ambrosia maple with a center wheel of 6 different woods, a walnut/purpleheart inlay, and walnut edge banding.
I've made a ton of cutting boards including a variety with interesting 3-D patterns, as well as bowls and trays. I use woods such as purpleheart, rosewood, maple, cherry, sapele, and walnut
This was an interesting project I made for my daughter. I didn't have much experience with doweling, hanging doors, or making cabinet type structures. The waterfall creation didn't turn out quite like I wanted to (the colors did not totally match, but it was still fairly cool).
The dolphin is my biggest sculpture to date and was probably more than 200 hours of work. It is made out of a variety of woods and about 10 gallons of SuperClear Deep Pour epoxy with a custom MDF and epoxy stand.
The most challenging parts of this project were the layered pour of epoxy and figuring out how to build the stand. I was going for a leaping out of the water look, which was tough to do.
Video of the build coming soon to YouTube!
