Dan graciously agreed to help me out. DeVos picked up my countertops; laser templated my cabinets for a precise fit; cut, mortised (for butt joint fasteners), and finished the countertops at their shop; and then installed them. The final result is incredible. The countertops look great in my kitchen. This is largely thanks to Oscar, one of Dan's employees. He's a stickler for detail, which is what every remodeler/homeowner wants. I didn't know what to expect when I called DeVos. I now realize it was the wisest decision I made in my remodel. It's also good to know that there are people out there who take quality and craftsmanship very seriously. These days, you're lucky if you find this. When I build my dream timber frame house, I know who to call for my countertops. **★★★★★ — fergfamwest, Feb. 2015** > We ordered a custom Mesquite bar top from DeVos Custom Woodworking for our home bar. > Our bar top was shipped a couple months later in three pieces and fit our template very well. It was easy to reassemble and the finished product is great! **★★★★★ — Eric King, Nov. 2014** > Absolutely LOVE the countertop. We were looking for a single piece solid countertop for out large island (13’ x 6’). We selected DeVos to create our countertop and we couldn’t be happier! > > Working with DeVos was a pleasure. Everyone at DeVos was easy to work with. The entire process was very professional from concept to design all the way through installation. > > The countertop was intended to be the centerpiece of the kitchen and it is absolutely stunning! **★★★★★ — Design Directions, Oct. 2014** > I recently hired De Vos Custom Woodworking to build a top for a very large island in a high end kitchen remodel I was hired to design and build. The client wanted the wood top to look slightly rustic, but not too much so. I sent Anne a photograph of the finished look we wanted and was assured they could deliver. Every detail of my order was handled with dedication and professionalism. Anne went above and beyond to make sure everything was in order and communicated with me regularly. As my business is in a neighboring state I had to put my trust in De Vos to deliver what they said they could and they did. It was exactly what we envisioned and is the crowning glory of this kitchen remodel. I hope to have the privilege of working with De Vos again and highly recommend their work. **★★★★★ — vickija1, Aug. 2014** > Custom is the perfect word to describe the service and product I received from Devos. I worked with Ann who was knowledgeable ,easily accessible and creative.Since we lived in another state,all of our contacts were through e-mail. She really seemed to care and kept us informed. I couldn't be more pleased with the gorgeous wood bar top in my kitchen. Natural wood is so beautiful and durable. **Comment from DeVos Custom Woodworking:** > Thank you! We love to hear about how much people enjoy wood tops in their kitchens and elsewhere. It adds so much beauty and warmth. It was delightful working with you, Vicki. **★★★★★ — cmlogan, July 2014** > The vision for my dream kitchen was cream painted cabinets and walnut counter tops. No one locally would even touch wood counter tops. Everyone -- my cabinet maker, friends, a local designer friend -- was pushing granite, granite, granite -- which I absolutely did not want. I found DeVos from an internet search I did 6 years prior - I still have the home page that I printed out for my dream folder. My husband and I visited the DeVos in person, saw they were 100% dedicated to making gorgeous wood counter tops and fell in love on the spot. > > The counter tops arrived in a sturdy crate and were installed by a local installer. We simply could not image our kitchen or our house without these beautiful counters. We wrapped the entire kitchen in these walnut counters, including the busy sink area. We have had them for nearly two years and they look like they glow from within and are warm to the touch (unlike granite). Like many kitchens, our island is the "kitchen table" and the island's walnut counters are the perfect complement to all my serving platters, vases and everything. > > We are so, so happy with how it all turned out and how the walnut continues to perform. I would recommend DeVos Woodworking to anyone considering an alternative to ubiquitous granite. **Comment from DeVos Custom Woodworking:** > What a great review. Thank you for your kind words and confidence in DeVos. **★★★★★ — kowskis, May 2014** > Ever since the first countertop arrived we have been extremely pleased with DeVos. We continue to love and admire the quality materials used and fine workmanship resulting in beautiful, practical surfaces, built to endure. > It's a pleasure to know that a quality outfit such as DeVos exists in this world that has so many sub-optimal things like fiber-board and throw-away furniture, that gets trashed in a few years rather than treasured and passed on for others to enjoy. > The emails and conversations we’ve had with the DeVos team have been friendly, helpful and exceeded our expectaitons. We rememberour talks with Dan and his great advice on how to do our tricky corner (tricky to novices like us!). His ideas were right on and led us to a better result than what we had envisioned with that countertop. > > We re-built our kitchen slowly, cabinet by cabinet, learning as we went. I discovered Waterlox along the way and how well it works on wood -- Waterlox has the benefits of oil-rubbing as well as varnish protection. Then I found that DeVos uses Waterlox to finish their countertops. Perfect! Could DeVos match the color, texture and grain of the hard maple I was using for the cabinets? Of course! Match the finish? Naturally! Create any kind of edge we wanted -- squared or rounded or half rounded or, or, or...? Yes! > > The only thing DeVos could not do was fill the order in a few days. The folks at DeVos do such quality work that the finish alone takes a week or more. Since I was using the exact same finish on the exact same kind of wood for our cabinets, I know what good work on the finish looks like. > Having used varnishes of various kinds most of my life, I like to think that I take the time and give full attention to my finish applications. And DeVos countertops always arrived with a perfectly smooth finish that I have yet to achieve. **Comment from DeVos Custom Woodworking:** > Thank you for such a nice review. We really appreciate it. > > Anne Thevenot, CKD > DeVos Custom Woodworking **★★★★★ — cnabors, April 2014** > DeVos Custom Woodworks out of Dripping Springs, Texas, did a beautiful job building my butcher block island. They spent plenty of time with me educating me on various woods, construction options and giving me quotes. The finished product is an end grain 1.75" squares, masquite butcher block with rounded corners, 2.75" thick. It's a rich red color hard wood that is easy to care for. The only maintenance has been oiling it with tung oil a couple of times. **Comment from DeVos Custom Woodworking:** > Thank you very much for a nice review. We appreciate it. > > Anne Thevenot, CKD > DeVos Custom Woodworking **★★★★★ — Michael Doyle, Dec. 2013** > Every day, my wife and I marvel at our finished kitchen and the Spalted Pecan countertops that just complete the amazing design. > > In researching options for countertops online, I came across the DeVos Custom Woodworking web site. We wanted the warmth of wood countertops but something different than the traditional maple butcher block. And boy did they deliver! Working with Anne on the design and sketches , Nicole in the office and owner Daniel on the final dimensions and fabrication of the countertops. Daniel and I checked over the dimensions numerous times until we both were satisfied. Never did I feel frustration from him working with a novice and it all came together, a perfect finish for all the hard work a kitchen remodel brings. > > Living in Pennsylvania and not being able to visit the Dripping Springs, Texas shop was a risk but I would encourage anyone to remove that fear. The pictures you find online, do not do justice to the final product when you see with your own eyes and feel the beauty these countertops provide! **★★★★★ — wilsonf, Dec. 2013** > We built a Texas Modern home and needed a custom mesquite bar top. It was curved and to fit an exact architecturally designed cabinet. The top was beautiful, easy to care for and fit exactly. Great company and plan on using them for more custom work. **★★★★★ — Stuart Sampley Architect, Dec. 2013** > I have worked with the Devos team on numerous custom residential projects. They provide the highest level of professionalism both to me and my clients. Additionally, the craftsmanship of their custom wood countertops in unparalleled. A true turn-key provider, they provide shop drawings and think through all of the details, install on-time as promised and remedy any unforeseen issues that are inevitable in the process of construction. I highly recommend them to anyone in the Austin area. **★★★★★ — TAS Construction, Dec. 2013** > I 've had the privilege of working with Dan Vos of Devos Woodworking and his team of fine craftsman for several years now. My remodeling firm hired Devos to furnish wood countertops for a large kitchen center island piece. That was over 8 years ago and anytime that we have the opportunity to work with wood countertops there's no doubt in our mind that Dan and his team are the ones for the job. On each occasion they have exceeded our expectations. Their attention to detail, timely delivery and professionalism holds true for each and every member on their team. Their collaborative effort to provide quality service speaks volumes and shows so prominently in their finished product. Since I've been working with Devos for several years now I have had the opportunity to see their product stand the true test of time. From the unlimited supply of woods ranging from typical wood types to exotic woods most people have never heard of, to the friendly professionalism they display and to the beautiful quality product they deliver, I personally don't know why someone would use anyone other than Devos Woodworking. Cheers and happy remodeling .

I would love to have a knife drawer like this in my house one day. Incredibly efficient design and so easy to access. Who did the wood working for you? http://www.gravellewoodworking.com A: The Countertop and integrated knife slots were done by DeVos Custom Woodworking. devoswoodworking.com **Q: Countertops** *(in Photo Questions)* How well do wood countertops hold up beside the range, especially in terms of clean up? A: Follow this link for care & maintanance information. http://www.devoswoodworking.com/wood-countertop-care-maintenance/care-maintenance.html **Q: What are the spec's and price for this table?** *(in Photo Questions)* A: This walnut end grain top is 5" thick, 30" wide and 72" long. The base is made out of Cherry. The cost of this top in today's price is approximately $7000, plus shipping. **Q: I love butcher block counters, but have only had them in an eating bar** *(in Photo Questions)* Purchasing a house, new to us...has Formica kitchen counters and I would like to replace them with butcher block counters in the kitchen. Trying to create a casual relaxed look. I am not into Granite or Corian counters. This is an older (1993) typical rambler and we are trying to make it casual and comfortable. Thanks for reading this query and thanks for answering. A: You CAN set hot things on a wood countertop by DeVos Custom Woodworking. Both our oil finish and our Waterlox finish are heat resistant and water proof when maintained properly. I take pots out of a 400 degree oven and set on these tops all the time. My tung-oil/citrus finished countertops and my Waterlox finished island still look great after 3 years of hard daily use. Please call us at 512-894-0464 if you have more questions. **Q: Love Mahogany - is there a stain on top?** *(in Photo Questions)* A: You're welcome! **Q: Wood** *(in Photo Questions)* How much does a desk like this cost? Just the wood. A: Yes, we love to fabricate dining room table tops or tables with bases, either with a wood base or a metal base (we work closely with an excellent metal fabricator). We are a custom shop so we don't keep an inventory of certain size tops or table tops, but we usually have 10-20 custom solid wood tops in the finishing room that you can look at. We have a number of large wood samples in addition to tables and countertops in our office that you can see as well. Zebrawood is not as popular as some of the other woods, so you might not see that particular wood on a pop-in visit. But you will likely see Walnut, the most popular wood, or Mesquite or Texas Pecan or Jatoba (Brazilian Cherry), or other popular woods. The owner of DeVos Custom Woodworking is Dan Vos, who designs and works with the table projects. --- *Source: Houzz professional profile. Reflects the profile as of 2026-09-12.*
