JWI Custom Woodworking
✓ VerifiedJohn takes a brief and turns it into custom nightstands, barn doors, and cedar flyscreens.
It is a small sample, so treat this as a first look. What you can take from it is that John follows a brief closely and builds pieces that reviewers say look better than they expected. Barn doors appear more than once, and two customers mention delivery to their home as a real bonus. John is a sole trader, so you are dealing with the person doing the work rather than a showroom. For anything bigger than a single piece, ask him about a sight visit or mock-up before the build starts.

About JWI Custom Woodworking
John does custom woodwork that fits Hunter Valley homes, not showroom pieces. Customers come to him with a brief and he delivers nightstands, console tables, barn doors, and even flyscreens. The barn doors stand out because several reviewers say he delivered them to the door. Workmanship and finish get the same consistent mention across different projects. This is a sole trader, so you deal with John from first quote to final install. He works out of East Maitland but covers a wide sweep around Singleton and the Upper Hunter. It suits homeowners who want a specific piece made rather than something bought off the shelf. The reviews are small in number but every one names exactly what he built. If you have a rough idea, John turns it into a finished piece.
Best for: made-to-measure barn doors, custom timber furniture built from a brief, and Hunter Valley homeowners who want a piece delivered to the door.
