Derek Preble

All smiles even though we're working on the weekend. It helps if you love what you do!

Who else is mentally here right now?? Only four more weeks of winter folks! We can do this!

We love this beautifully framed shot of the reception desk that we made for the opening of Dunes on the Waterfront in Ogunquit last summer. It's actual Maine summer perfection.

We have a few standard finishes that we'd love to share with you for your projects, but we also welcome the challenge of matching your custom finishes. Feel free to reach out for more information. DM or email us at [email protected]

The Derek Preble Mason Jar Coffee Club. (Apparently not OSHA approved....)

Another view of our walnut Lines Bench 👌

Simple small reveals in the surface of the bench top reveal the combination of boards it took to make it. The classic Mid-Century inspired turned legs contrast the more organic raw wood edges of the top. We think the results is pretty timeless.

There are 4 of these benches built and available for purchase. DM for more information.

Our Lines bench looking good in the light. It's beautifully simple construction showcases the true artistry of the tree it once was.

We have 4 of these made and available for purchase. DM for more info.

We're hiring!

We're looking to expand our small team of talented makers with an experienced Cabinetmaker and an enthusiastic Shop Assistant. Refer to the slides for a brief job description. If this is something that interests you, email your CV or questions to [email protected].

About Us:

Derek Preble Cabinetmakers is a small fine furniture & custom cabinetry shop located in the Pepperell Mill in Biddeford, ME, led by Derek Preble. Our small team of designers & makers are brought together by a shared love of Maine history, craft and culture. We strongly believe that good design is the amalgamation of beautiful, ethically sourced materials, traditional craftsmanship, and a critical appreciation of the design world.

We value good communication, problem solving, teamwork and a healthy work/life balance. It takes a village to do what we do. We often get traditional design commissions, for well made Shaker or Transitional style cabinets. We value the history of these design styles and therefore often make things in traditional ways (no CNC here). We're proud of what we make, and if this sounds like a good fit for you, we'd love for you to come join us.
