What we build

One workshop.Four disciplines.

The maker

Built by hand.Crafted with care.

Parsen Custom Woodworking is a one-person shop in San Clemente, California. Every guitar, van interior, and piece of furniture that leaves it is designed and built by hand, start to finish, by the same pair of hands.

That means honest materials chosen for the job, joinery that will outlast the trends, and the time it takes to get the details right. If it carries the Parsen name, it was made to be used for a long while.
