Custom millwork shop in Austin, TX
Austin Custom CNC is a custom millwork shop at 6401 Airport Blvd in North Austin. We build casework, store fixtures, reception desks, bars and wall panels, mostly for businesses in Austin and Central Texas, plus some cabinetry for homes. We cut the parts on our own CNC routers, then assemble and finish them in the same shop.
A router shop for wood and plastics
We cut plywood (Baltic birch and hardwood plywood), MDF, solid hardwood, acrylic, HDPE, polycarbonate and aluminum composite panel on two CNC routers, both with 5 x 10 ft beds. We don't do metal machining, and we don't cut steel on the CNC. When a job needs steel, stone or upholstery, a partner shop makes that part and we manage it inside our scope.
The rest happens here too. Our engineering team draws the shop drawings, and we edge-band on a Homag edgebander, press veneer in a vacuum press, then assemble and finish, paint and stain included.
Commercial millwork and casework
Casework, cabinets, shelving walls, paneling, columns and built-in seating for commercial interiors, usually built from a general contractor's or designer's drawing set. At Jupiter Supper Club on Congress Avenue, our package ran from the bar and host stand to Library Lounge casework, a coffered ceiling, columns and wainscot. How those jobs run, from shop drawings to warranty visits, is on our commercial millwork page.
Store fixtures
Display shelving, cooler surrounds, check-in desks and planters for shops, studios and brand spaces. At Mañana Dos in the Seaholm District we designed and built the cooler shrouds, a guest service station, shelving and storage cabinets etched with a mural pattern. When a client opens another location, we can build the package again and ship it. More on retail fixtures and displays.
Reception desks
For John Deere's Austin office we designed a reception desk around a display box for a historic plow and showed it to the team as renderings and a video before we built it. See reception desks and furniture.
Restaurants, bars and coffee shops
Bars, back bars, host stands, banquettes and shelving. Honest Mary's in Cedar Park got white oak built-ins with planters, table tops and bases, shelving and arches, finished in Rubio Monocoat. More on restaurant and bar millwork.
Wall panels and feature walls
Jupiter's bar room has green painted wall panels with applied moulding, and leather-wrapped panels went into the millwork. At Serranos Lakeline we built a feature wall from wooden rolling pins. For the G.W. Carver Museum we stacked 480 machined slices of Baltic birch into a wall that weighs over 2,000 lb. Work like that is on our installations and sculpture page.
Homes
We also build some high-end residential cabinetry. A house off Lost Creek Boulevard in West Austin got a kitchen first, then vanities, closets, a wardrobe and a white oak credenza.
Where we work
The shop is at 6401 Airport Blvd, Austin, TX 78752, open Monday to Friday, 8 am to 5 pm. Most jobs are in Austin and Central Texas. We've also built and shipped work out of state, including The North Face's installation at SFMOMA in San Francisco.
How it works
- Send what you have. For casework, that's the architect's drawings and finish schedule. For a fixture or a one-off piece, a sketch with dimensions is a fine start. For cut parts, a DXF, or a Fusion 360 or SketchUp model.
- We price it from your drawings, quantities and dates. We don't publish prices or lead times.
- For millwork, our engineering team models the work and draws shop drawings for your approval before anything is cut.
- We cut the parts on our routers, then assemble and finish them in the shop.
- We coordinate installation with your general contractor, and we've installed on site ourselves at Serranos Lakeline and SFMOMA. Fixture packages can be flat-packed and shipped.

Questions
Are you a millwork shop or a machine shop?
A millwork shop. We cut wood, plywood, MDF and plastics on CNC routers and build casework, fixtures and furniture from the parts. We don't do metal machining or cut steel on the CNC. When a job needs steel, a partner metal shop makes it.
Where is your shop?
6401 Airport Blvd, Austin, TX 78752, in North Austin. We're open Monday to Friday, 8 am to 5 pm. Most of our jobs are in Austin and Central Texas.
Do you design the millwork, or build from drawings?
Both. Most commercial jobs come with a drawing set from an architect or designer. We've also designed work in-house, like John Deere's reception desk and the millwork at Mañana Dos.
Do you build millwork for homes?
Some. We build high-end residential cabinetry, like the kitchen, vanities, closets and credenza for a house off Lost Creek Boulevard in West Austin. Most of our work is commercial.
What should I send for a quote?
Drawings if you have them, or a sketch with dimensions. Add the material or finish, quantities, the project address and your dates. The contact form doesn't take attachments, so email files to info@austincustomcnc.com.
Do you install?
We coordinate installation with your general contractor, and we've installed on site ourselves at Serranos Lakeline and SFMOMA. Fixture packages can be flat-packed and shipped.
