Welcome to the world of Charles Shafer Restorations. We're
a totally unique type of building and woodworking company, in that
we do everything from totally invisible restorations of antique houses, to jewel-like additions to newer houses, to wild,
one-off cabinetry and furniture, as well as esoteric audio
installations and cabinetry. You
may notice the first photos of the site aren't of some idiotically
expensive and huge home. One's a piece of custom furniture for a collector of rare musical instruments. Impossibly thin top, just like on violin or guitar.
Here's an odd, but fun cabinet door front with unique characteristics. The wood's a unique piece of koa.
One's a custom staircase and interior, site-built, for a "fake" old barn. Here's a small addition, and
complete restoration to a mid-1700's house. Can you tell what's new and
what's old?
To us, this is our dream project; a
restrained exterior, really unique interior woodwork and
cabinetry, and a total over-all feel that doesn't scream how much money
you have, but how much taste you have. If size matters, find someone
else. If quality matters, we're the ones for you. Please enjoy browsing
the pages
to get an idea of the sort of things we do; we guarantee they're not
like anyone else.
