Custom Woodworking
Decades of marine-grade precision, now crafting heirloom furniture and cabinetry for Texas homes.
After decades building cabinetry and decking for the demanding marine environment—where every joint must withstand salt, sun, and constant motion—I've brought that same uncompromising standard to custom woodwork for homes throughout the Magnolia area.
Working on boats taught me that there's no room for shortcuts. Every piece must be precisely fitted, properly sealed, and built to last generations. That philosophy guides every project at Dowling Brothers Woodworks, whether it's a custom kitchen or a handcrafted dining table.
Now based in Magnolia, I combine old-world joinery techniques with an understanding of how Texas humidity and climate affect wood, ensuring your investment stands the test of time.
Each piece tells a story of careful material selection, precise joinery, and finishes that enhance the natural beauty of the wood.

Bookcases, entertainment centers, mudroom storage, and custom shelving. We design built-ins that maximize your space while adding architectural interest.
Mantels, wainscoting, custom doors, and architectural details. If it's made of wood, we can build it—with the precision our marine background demands.
Weather-resistant outdoor tables, Adirondack chairs, and patio furniture. Our marine experience means we understand how to build wood that lasts outdoors.
Breathing new life into antique furniture and repairing damaged pieces. We match existing styles and finishes to preserve your treasured items.
We meet at your home to discuss your vision, take measurements, and understand how you'll use the piece day-to-day.
You'll receive detailed drawings, material options, and a transparent quote. We refine the design until it's exactly right.
Your project is built by hand in our shop. We send progress photos and welcome visits to see the work in progress.
We deliver and install your piece with the same care we put into building it, ensuring a perfect fit in your home.
