Darren Taylor describes Massachusetts Woodworks as his one-person custom woodworking shop in Gloucester, making built-ins, custom furniture and smaller commissioned pieces. A 2014 Good Morning Gloucester piece said he had close to two decades in woodworking and had run a fully equipped shop since 2008. Google shows 5 stars from 11 ratings, and its customers wrote about it in 2022 and 2023. Customers came to him for furniture and one-off pieces: a slab table in a November 2023 review, where Darren helped pick the slab and source the legs; a large mirror with an ambrosia maple frame that same month; a custom game table in November 2022. In a November 2023 review, a kitchen-renovation customer said he crafted and installed a large walnut cap to cover a steel beam, along with built-in walnut shelves.
“Darren Taylor has close to two decades in the woodworking industry and has operated a fully equipped shop since 2008.”
Darren Taylor is a professional and a hell of a craftsman. He created a beautiful sign for my father that will be part of his home for decades. Perfect gift for a man who THOUGHT he had everything!
Darren made me a large mirror with an ambrosia maple frame, that came out excellent. Working with him was easy, he was very flexible and happy to create whatever I wanted.
MW did a great job on my shadow boxes that I use in my pinball business. Quality work, attention to detail, and personalized service sets them apart. I love seeing the quality woodwork when I visit the shop. Give them a try for you next project!!!
We used Mass Woodworks for a couple custom wood features in our kitchen renovation. Darren was great to work with, and knew just what we were looking for. He crafted a large walnut cap to cover a huge steel beam we had in our kitchen, and installed it. He also made some beautiful built in walnut shelves for our kitchen. He worked with us on the design, built and installed everything, and recommended care and maintenance for the pieces. It was a big project and we used many contractors... Darren was one of the best! We will not hesitate to call him again for our next project.
I love my specially made table. Incredibly sturdy and again - well-loved. Thank you Darren.
