Custom Cabinetry Built Entirely In-House in Bend
DL Drury Custom Woodworks designs, builds, and installs fully custom cabinetry in Bend, Oregon. This is a working woodworking shop, not a showroom or a dealer. Every cabinet, door, crown molding detail, and dovetailed drawer box is built on-site by the team, using hand-selected wood chosen specifically for each project.
With 40 plus years of craftsmanship in Bend, the team has influenced how custom cabinetry is built across Central Oregon. DL Drury was one of the first cabinet makers in the region to adopt computer-aided design software, which means homeowners can see a detailed rendering of their space before a single board is cut. That combination of traditional millwork and modern design tools is what separates this shop from anything semi-custom or off-the-shelf.
What DL Drury Builds for Bend Homeowners
We specialize in face-frame cabinets. Our innovative custom cabinet construction continues to influence the regional industry. Simply, our improvements in construction and design have nudged others in the field to try to step up to our standards. We were one of the first in the region to use computer-aided design software, and over the years have created many original designs for crown, fluting, and door styles. We build all parts of the products in-house, including crowns, doors, and drawers, which guarantees the highest quality product. With almost 40 years of our experience and your unique vision, we’ll build a beautiful product that will last for generations.
The DL Drury Process: From First Sketch to Final Installation
Working with DL Drury Custom Woodworks follows a clear path from the first conversation to the day your cabinets are installed. The team works with homeowners directly, and also coordinates with architects and interior designers on new home builds and larger remodeling projects.
Initial consultation: The process starts with a conversation about your space, how you use it, and what you want it to look and feel like. There is no pressure and no commitment required to have that first discussion.
CAD design and wood selection: Using computer-aided design software, the team builds a detailed rendering of your cabinet layout so you can see exactly how the finished product will look in your space. Wood selection happens during this phase, with the team guiding you through species and grain options appropriate for your project.
In-house production: Every component is built at the Bend shop. Doors, crown molding, and dovetailed drawer boxes are all made on-site, which means quality is controlled at every stage without relying on an outside manufacturer.
Professional installation: The team handles installation from start to finish, ensuring precise fit across every cabinet, island, or built-in unit.
DL Drury believes in open communication throughout the project so that your ideas and preferences are incorporated into the final result, not just the initial design.

Frequently Asked Questions About Custom Cabinets in Bend, Oregon
Yes, DL Drury Custom Woodworks builds all cabinet doors, crown molding, and dovetailed drawer boxes entirely in-house at the Bend shop. Nothing is outsourced to a third-party component manufacturer. Because every part is built on-site by the same team that designs and installs the cabinets, quality is controlled across the entire process, from raw wood selection through final fit. This means the joinery, proportions, and finish details hold to the same standard on every piece, which is not something a shop assembling outsourced parts can guarantee.
DL Drury Custom Woodworks works with a range of hardwood species suited to the preferences and design goals of each homeowner. Wood is hand-selected for every project, which means the team reviews grain pattern, figure, and character before committing a board to production. During the design consultation, DL Drury walks clients through the available species options and helps them choose wood that complements the look they are after, whether that is a warm, classic kitchen or a more contemporary built-in application. The right wood for your project depends on your aesthetic preferences, and the team has spent 40 plus years guiding homeowners through that decision.
Most custom cabinet projects take between 6 and 16 weeks from the initial consultation through final installation, depending on the scope and complexity of the work. A full kitchen with custom islands and built-ins will take longer than a single custom built-in shelving unit. DL Drury Custom Woodworks discusses realistic timelines during the initial consultation so you have a clear picture of the schedule before any work begins. Timelines are not guaranteed to a fixed date, because in-house production means the team builds to quality rather than to a shipping deadline.
Yes, DL Drury Custom Woodworks works directly with architects and interior designers on new home builds and larger remodeling projects throughout Central Oregon. The CAD design capability makes coordination straightforward, because the team can produce detailed cabinet renderings that align with architectural drawings and designer specifications. If your project involves multiple trades, DL Drury can integrate into that process from the design phase forward. This is a regular part of how the team works, and it means your designer or architect does not need to manage a separate cabinet specification process on your behalf.
Face-frame cabinets have a solid wood frame attached to the front of the cabinet box, which the doors and drawer fronts mount to. Frameless cabinets, sometimes called full-access or European-style cabinets, have no front frame, with doors and drawers attached directly to the box sides. DL Drury Custom Woodworks specializes in face-frame construction, which provides a traditional look, greater structural rigidity, and a finished appearance across the full face of the cabinet. Over more than 40 years, the team has developed original designs for the crown detailing, fluting, and door styles that frame-front construction makes possible, and these designs have influenced how other cabinet makers in the region approach their own work.
