R. Cantwell Woodworking, Inc. is a full-service custom woodworking studio located in historic New Bedford, MA. We began as a one person shop dedicated to the concept of producing quality custom cabinetry and fine furniture in Fairhaven, MA. Since then, we have grown, moved to a larger facility and hired a great crew. In 1986, fresh out of high school and searching for a direction in life, I was hired as a shop helper by a custom wood shop servicing the high-end sector of Long Island's Hamptons. Playing part in the interesting jobs being commissioned and fueled by my interest from high school wood shop - I developed a penchant for handworks.
