Charles Caldwell Fine Woodworking is a one-man woodworking shop specializing in custom built-ins, cabinets, and furniture, as well as stair building.

I have a 35-year background in many aspects of woodworking and homebuilding. For many years I was the owner of a custom log cabin construction company. Since the early 1980’s, I have been building built-ins, furniture, and doing various remodeling jobs on Cape Ann, including extensive experience as a master stair builder. Some of my recent work was featured in two popular architectural books describing a rather remarkable house in Manchester, Massachusetts, for which I built some unusual stairways as well as a number of built-ins. See Inside the Not So Big House, and Outside the Not So Big House, both by Sarah Susanka. 

I pride myself in being able to work collaboratively and creatively with my customers to craft work that both suits their needs and pleases the eye. I can work from an idea, a sketch, or a magazine picture to create a drawing of the project for the approval of my customer. Without sacrificing quality, I have a good sense of how to keep prices reasonable. The portfolio on this site shows a few examples of my work.
