Alan Dorsey Custom Woodworking

Brooklyn’s industrial waterfront still shelters small-scale makers who shape raw timber into functional art. Alan Dorsey Custom Woodworking occupies a corner of the Flushing Avenue complex at 63 Flushing Ave Bldg 5, Ste. 302W, turning planks into bespoke cabinets, live-edge tables, and built-in shelving. The shop also handles staircases, entry doors, and millwork that can slip into tight urban interiors without sacrificing craft.

Clients who prefer grain over glue often call (646) 306-4314 to discuss custom bookcases or kitchen islands tailored to awkward floor plans. A map of the studio’s location is available here, though appointments are typically arranged in advance. The work speaks for itself once the pieces are installed.
