This is what a massive live edge slab becomes when you know what you're doing. Complex templating around posts, chainsaw cuts for the initial shape, flattening, perfect sink cutouts, and a finish that makes the grain sing.

This is the kind of work that separates custom from standard. Every detail matters.

Meet Kris, our Install Manager extraordinaire, and the guy who makes the final magic happen! Here he is working his craft, precision-fitting this gorgeous custom mahogany countertop we created for this custom project. This is what sets custom work apart - every piece is hand-fitted, every detail matters, and every installation requires the skill and dedication that Kris brings to every project. From our Durango workshop to your home, we don't just build beautiful cabinetry, we ensure it's installed with the same level of craftsmanship that went into creating it. When you choose Animas Craft Woodworks, you're getting both exceptional custom work and the expertise to install it perfectly.

Cherry Hallway Storage Cabinets

Built-ins with simple, modern style and high function. I love the homeowner's idea to offset the large handles to make a statement. These cabinets have custom veneered full 1" thick HDF doors for a smooth, solid operation that give them a truly bespoke feel. Natural, water-based finish worked really well on the cherry wood, which will continue to get richer in color over time.

It's not that you're hiding your refrigerator... you're just making it part of the cabinetry.

Custom paneled appliances allow for a more seamless integration into the rest of the kitchen. In this case, it keeps the space warm and natural with the Walnut paneling.

Ultra-Modern High Gloss Kitchen

When it comes to making your vision come to life, no matter how bold that vision is, we can make it happen. Not only were we challenged to work with these unique high gloss materials, but we also had to make the perimiter cabinets on 3 different planes around the curvature of the room. The island (not shown in this clip) also curves to match the shape of the perimeter. Bring on the challenge!

Be Bold.

Hidden Staircase Storage

I lived in a Tiny House on Wheels for 4 years, so I know how important it is to utilize every inch of storage space. I think that holds true no matter the size of your home. We made the custom cabinetry for beneath this staircase, with flush faces and push-to-open hardware to give it as minimal an appearance as possible, while maximizing storage.

What challenge do you have for us?
