Saltwater Woodworks offers

custom funishings that are

the perfect blend of old world

craftsmanship with some of

today’s modern techniques with

stunning results.

Opened in 2001 by Matt Sullivan,

the early focus of the business

was almost exclusively on

custom-made, built-in cabinetry

and furniture. Four years ago,

Sullivan decided to team up with

builder Charles Hunt,—a move

that expanded the company’s

offerings.

While Saltwater Woodworks

continues to specialize in

custom furniture and built-in

cabinetry, it also offers custom

kitchen cabinetry, flooring, and

repurposed furniture. Sullivan

heads up the business’s custom

kitchen cabinetry, which he says,

includes reclaimed wood options.

“I once did an entire kitchen made

from reclaimed wood. It’s what the

customer wanted,” he says.

With interior designer Nancy

August on staff and talented

craftsmen such as John Giacobbi,

a reclaimed wood expert, and Ed

Soltesz, owner of Forge and Forest

Creations, showing his one-of-a-

kind designs in the store, Saltwater

Woodworks is quickly establishing

its own identity and finding its

niche in the industry. Built on a

Yankee philosophy to never waste

that which can be used again, the

store has some incredible designs,

including a fabulous Redwood

table salvaged from the forest fires

in California and a charming wine

rack with an old metal rake that

serves as a wine glass holder. A

stop at Saltwater Woodworks feels

a bit like a visit to an art gallery.

Whether you are renovating

a kitchen, or are in need of a

custom-made table, or are looking

for unique piece to complete a

room, Saltwater Woodworks on

Main Street in Falmouth is a must

stop.

A stop at Saltwater Woodworks feels less like

shopping and a bit like a visit to an art gallery.
