At Massey Woodworks, we believe in the value of true craftsmanship. In a world of mass production and quick fixes, we take a different approach—one that honors quality, detail, and timeless design. As a small, locally owned business, we offer custom cabinetry, built-ins, and furniture that are not only functional, but beautifully made to complement your home.
Owner Chris Massey brings over 35 years of experience in fine finish carpentry and construction. His journey began as a carpentry apprentice in Boulder, Colorado, where he discovered a deep connection to the craft. Since then, Chris has worked on a wide range of residential and commercial projects, learning from master craftsmen and honing his expertise in precision woodworking. His work is grounded in integrity, care, and a commitment to doing things the right way—no shortcuts, no hype.
Whether you're working with an architect or designer, or simply have a vision in mind, we’re here to bring your ideas to life with thoughtful design and expert execution. From custom cabinetry and statement mantels to refined built-ins and heirloom-quality furniture, we craft each piece with attention to detail and a deep respect for your space.
Now based in Franklin, Tennessee, Chris and his wife Brenda are enjoying the charm and creative spirit of the South—and look forward to bringing beautifully made woodwork into homes across the region.
Let’s bring your vision to life—with craftsmanship you can see and quality you can feel.
We build custom wood cabinetry, built-ins and free-standing furniture, and architectural woodwork
for homes and businesses.

I have been actively working in construction for over 50 years, my father and grandfather were both skilled builders. I knew I had someone special when Chris came to work at Hanson Carlen. Skilled craftsmen are hard to find, add to that Chris has motivation and works hard making him more special. Then add to that Chris is a super honest salt of the earth type of guy, one whom you would trust with your family. During his time at HC Chris did some super unique one-of-a-kind projects—with excellence. I would highly recommend Chris- call him before he gets too busy.

I was Chris's employer for eight years. I always gave him the most difficult projects. He always figured out how to complete them perfectly, and within budget. He is an amazing carpenter.

Chris was the addition my team needed to complete our project. Chris has an eye for detail and amazing hand dexterity. He was the point man on my very intense remodel, and he was on top of everything.. Chris not only took the initiative, he also was a patient and informative team member and teacher. Chris is someone that inspires me with his precision, detail and need to get it done right the first time. He took the time to walk me through every step and would explain why things were done a certain way until I was able to understand. As a project manager in the industry, I can attest that Chris is the man for the job. We cannot recommend Chris enough!
