Hawkeye Woodworks is a Kingston, Massachusetts custom carpentry and furniture business run by owner Scot Brine, who reports 20 years in the trade and has run the company under this name since 2007. Houzz reviews dated from 2018 through 2023 consistently praise Brine's custom cabinetry, built-ins and furniture: clients describe a reclaimed oak kitchen island and pine table (2021), custom bookcases flanking a fireplace (2020), and mudroom cubbies fit into a small sloped-ceiling space (2018). In a 2022 review, a homeowner credited him with a full remodel of their kitchen, dining room, floors and fireplace surround, and a 2018 review described him coordinating an electrician and mason for a living-room remodel that included a granite install and crown molding. A 2020 Herald-Dispatch feature highlighted his work turning reclaimed barn wood into commissioned art pieces, and his Houzz profile lists Massachusetts construction supervisor license 101804 alongside a Master Woodworker credential and a 2017 South Shore Living Editor's Choice recognition. The reviews span nearly six years and consistently describe the same craftsmanship and reliability, so anyone booking a custom cabinetry, built-in or furniture project on the South Shore has a long track record to go on.

Scot was phenomenal! I had a particularly interesting, difficult project that needed to be custom and very sturdy. Scot was very communicative and creative about the design. I’m definitely checking in to see if Scot will be available for my next project and would recommend anyone to work with him!
We worked with Scot to create a built in master closet and custom laundry room table and couldn't be happier with the results! Scot is wonderful to work with and communicated with us in a timely manner throughout the project. He is a very gifted craftsman and took great care to make sure every inch of our closet was used in the best way. The results are fantastic and we really love it! We highly recommend working with Scot!
Scot recently did a total remodel of our kitchen, dining room, floors and fireplace surround. He is a very professional and skilled carpenter. We are extremely happy with the results. We have received many complainants from our family and friends. A job well done! We totally love it! Thank you Scot.
Scot is a very talented and great guy to work with. He made a reclaimed oak island, a pine table and a hefty floating shelf for our kitchen. We had an idea of what we were looking for as far as the island but leaned on Scot’s keen eye for design as far as the table. He prepared several wood samples, drawings and was in touch about meetings to ensure we were on the same page. Bonus: he was sensitive to our budget! We’re so happy with how things came out and our table will come with us wherever life takes us. Thanks Scot!
Scot just completed custom built in cabinets and shelves for me. I couldn’t be more pleased. They look absolutely amazing. Scot is a truly talented craftsman whose attention to detail is evident in his work. I highly recommend Scot for any wood project you may have.
