Phoenix Woodworking is the shop of a woodworker named Jim, who says on Thumbtack that he has been woodworking since he was a little boy and learned a lot of what he knows from his grandfather. A recent Thumbtack customer says Jim built bookcases in their living room and worked with them to make it just how they wanted, and that he also made live edge book shelves for them. In a 2024 Thumbtack review, a customer described commissioning a custom coffee table and said Jim honored every request they had. A 2025 Thumbtack customer said they asked for a custom cannon carriage and were pleased with it. A 2025 Thumbtack customer bought a Bruins charcuterie piece and a large cutting board as Christmas gifts and said they were hand delivered. A 2023 Thumbtack customer said their charcuterie board was well made.
“Jim was wonderful to work with from start to finish. I needed a custom bath vanity built for my small bathroom in Beacon Hill and am so glad that I found him! He worked with me on the design, timeframe, and price and was extremely communicative throughout the process.”
Jim is a real craftsman! He puts his time and professionalism into each piece he makes. He build some bookcases in our living room and worked with us to make it just how we wanted. We also are very pleased with the live edge book shelves that he made. They bring dimension and quality to our room. I highly recommend Jim for any projects you may be thinking of adding to your home or yard. He is so easy to deal with and takes pride in his work.
Amazing wood products!! I bought the Bruins charcuterie for my daughter and the large cutting board for my son who smokes a lot of meat. They are going to love them!! Also hand delivered!! Easiest Christmas shopping! Thank you!
Awesome work. I asked for a custom cannon carriage and was not disappointed.
Just got my board in the mail as a gift, I know it will be so loved! Beautiful work, fast and quality shipping, and Jim was willing to take my idea and make it great and had excellent communication!!! I could not be more happy!
I commissioned a custom coffee table from Phoenix Woodwork and I could not be happier. Jim honored every request I had while displaying the highest knowledge and professionalism to his craft. The service was exceptional, second only to the beauty of the final piece! I recommend him highly to anyone wanting a truly collaborative experience on a vision that you want to come to life! I am thrilled to have this table for so many years to come!And to Jim - I just finished cancer treatment one week ago. I know it seems silly, but working on this table with you, has been one of those little things that really helped me through! Such a fun endeavor to look forward to and the timing was perfect for the finished product.
