Our Story
In 1984 Milf and Shar Doell combined their love for kitchen design and meticulous craftsmanship to start a business that has become one of the top woodworking shops in Nebraska. Known for its high quality woodworking, Custom Wood Products has served southeast Nebraska for over 30 years. We have custom designed and built hundreds of kitchens to transform homes into a functional work of art. We have also become an authorized dealer of Bridgewood Cabinetry to offer more cost-effective options to customers who still want Custom Wood Products design expertise and our professional and personal installation of cabinets.
In 2011 Custom Wood Products purchased a CNC milling machine that has offered new opportunities to the business. This new technology helps us maintain the precision in our building process while speeding up the building process to help you gain access to your kitchen faster.
In 2009 Milf and Shar hired Mike Wall as a part of their succession plan. For the next five years, they began transitioning the leadership of the business to Mike as they looked forward to retirement.
In 2014 Custom Wood Products celebrated 30 years of business and welcomed it’s new owners, Mike and Andrea Wall who hope to maintain the reputation of Custom Wood Products. Milf and Shar retired in 2016.
We are proud of the expertise and creativity that our design team and builders offer our customers. Check out our team. We hope to work with you soon!
