Our Story

Custom Works by MRC is a family affair.

It all started with a shelf. I was on the hunt for that perfect, rustic looking piece – equal parts function and beauty — to hang in my home. When I finally found it, I realized it came with a huge price tag that I wasn’t sure I could justify, and neither could my husband. That’s when he decided to make it himself.

Woodworking became a passion project as friends and family started asking us to make similar handmade pieces they didn’t want to splurge on or hunt down at the store.

In 2019 we started selling on Etsy as Custom Works by MRC. We were amazed by how many orders and positive reviews we received right off the bat. So, we started coming up with new ideas and recruited the help of our three beautiful daughters, now ages 11, 13 and 15 whose initials are M, R, and C. Custom Works by MRC has evolved into something our whole family can do together. Our hope is to continue sharing the creations that we love making, and giving our customers custom, handmade pieces without the huge price tag.
