Custom Woodworking in Houston, Texas

Meet Michael Shoup: A Native Houston Heights Craftsman

My name is Michael Shoup, and I am a native Houstonian with a lifelong dedication to the art of woodworking. I grew up in the Houston Heights long before the modern redevelopment, building my very first project at age 11. I’ve been hooked on the craft ever since, dedicating my career to creating high-quality, functional art for Texas homes.

Expert Custom Furniture & Specialized Woodwork

At Shoup Woodworks, I specialize in custom furniture pieces and home accessories tailored to your specific style. Whether you are looking for a centerpiece dining table, a handcrafted bookshelf, or bespoke custom doors to elevate your home’s entryway, I bring decades of experience to every build.

I thrive on special customer requests—if you have a unique vision or a specific "problem-solving" piece of furniture in mind, I have the skills to design and build exactly what you need.

Furniture Repair, Restoration & Refinishing

In addition to new builds, I offer professional furniture repair, restoration, and repurposing. From structural fixes to detailed refinishing projects, I give old-world wooden furniture a second life. I believe every project deserves to be done right, ensuring your heirlooms are preserved for the next generation.

Handcrafted Wooden Games & Outdoor Gear

I am a specialist in "old-style" wooden board games and outdoor entertainment sets, including:

Custom Wahoo Boards (Aggravation style)

Handmade Chinese Checkers

Professional Cornhole Sets
