“Meet the Member: Sam French of Gill CC Woodworks - Franklin County Chamber of Commerce”
“The custom bar top was crafted by Sam French of Gill CC Woodworks in Gill using wood from a Northfield tree that was taken down on School Street.”
Exceptional craftsmanship!! Sam transformed an heirloom piece of furniture for me from dining room table to coffee table. He created a beautiful one of a kind piece with exquisite craftsmanship. He is also just a pleasure to work with.
I was on a time crunch and needed slabs of oak. I met up with Sam. Amazing....his work is incredible conversation and knowledge of what I was creating in a very short window of time was spot on.Sam went out of his way to work with me in creating a stunning shelving system. Thank you Sam.
Sam's old school craftsmanship and expertise seems to have been honed for centuries in the magical workshop space he cultivates in Gill, MA. A huge selection of desirable hardwoods and a sustainable Cedar harvest brings Sam to the forefront of custom millwork in the region. I highly recommend him to my friends and family for any custom millwork for their homes or custom projects. Give him a call today!
We are absolutely in love with our custom dining table and matching bench from Gill CC Woodworks! Sam is a genuine artist and so passionate about his craft. He worked with us seamlessly through the whole process from slab selection (spalted maple), base design (ash), and sizing to suit our space. The end result is even better than we could've imagined!
Sam's work is masterful. He built two amazing live edge tables out of heirloom Elm and Walnut slabs which are proudly on display in our craft showroom.
