Dutch Door

When I have a special woodworking project for myself or my clients, the first person I call is Rodger Manley.  He literally can make anything with wood.  He builds double hung windows like they were built in 1750, or 1880, or you name it.  He loves old homes and I have seen him replace 200 year old windows and exterior details, that when he was finished, you could not tell the new from the old.

Although Rodger can build anything, I have to say we do work with talented specialists who might be first in line to build a detailed kitchen, or a curved stair that seems to float between floors, but when I need a special accent window, a complex historic detail, or an inspiring front door, he is the person I would call.  Recently, a client of ours decided to use some antique fluted columns in her home renovation.  She did not have enough to complete the project, so I suggested she speak to Rodger.  Sure enough, he came through.

From monumental columns to one of a kind reproductions, the same attention to detail is applied.

I love to cook.  Since I am always trying new recipes from all over the world, I end up with a lot of different spices.  For years I had been plagued with a spice drawer that had plenty of room, but no way to find the spices which were 3 bottles deep.  Roger and I chatted about a way to fix my existing spice arrangement, and below you can see the new alphabetized, organized, easy to access, drawer he built.

Above is just the tip of the iceberg when I comes to Rodger’s work.  You can see more on his facebook page: Manley Woodworking or on his web page: www.manleywoodworking.com
