Recently I remodeled my home office and changed out my L-shaped desk for a traditional style. That meant I lost the cable concentrator that was located inside the L shape. I had a mass of unsightly cables running down the side of the desk and connecting to a power strip. Because of where the desk was situated the power strip could be seen from the main part of the office. I looked online and found cable concentrator boxes where I could hide the power strip and run all the cables into the box. They all looked cheaply-built and not attractive.
I contacted Mike at Chick Farm Woodworking and asked if he could make a cable hub out of wood, large enough to hold a 22 outlet power strip, and wide enough to hold large transformer-style plugs. I specifically requested maple, as my floors are maple and I wanted something that would complement them. Mike came through with a beautiful, well-built box that will last for years. The wood has a grain and he used the waterfall edge technique so that the grain flows smoothly around the box. Inside there is plenty of room for the outlet strip and connections.

Read moreHighly recommend Mike Brennan, owner of Chik Farm Woodworking! I’ve been a customer of Mike’s for the past year, regularly purchasing his beautifully crafted, one-of-a-kind cutting boards and locally sourced wood gifts. His attention to detail and craftsmanship are truly unmatched.
If you haven’t visited their storefront in Litchfield yet, you’re missing out. Whether you’re looking for a unique, locally made gift or a stunning handcrafted hardwood piece, Chik Farm is absolutely the place to go.
Most recently, we hired Mike to redesign our finished third-floor attic space, which serves as our primary bedroom. We were in desperate need of more storage and closet space — and Mike delivered beyond our expectations. He custom built a walk-in closet using high-quality hardwood, creating both beauty and functionality. We couldn’t be happier with the result!
If you’re looking for a local artisan who can build just about anything with care, precision, and professionalism — and who communicates every step of the way — do yourself a favor and visit Mike at Chik Farm Woodworking!! We are so grateful for our new space!...
Read moreMike was so great to work with!! He is extremely passionate, patient, and takes the time to explain things and wants to make sure you are happy with the piece you are getting! We bought the cast iron pedestal and needed a nice top made for it. Initially, we weren’t sure what we wanted but once Mike helped us narrow down what we did want he then made the top for us. He has an amazing selection of different types of wood and if you’re looking for a custom piece, he’s your guy! Also, his store has some amazing items that would make great gifts for anyone! We will definitely use Mike again in the future. I can’t say enough nice things and I would highly recommend him to anyone. I love buying from local people because the quality is by far way better than anything you can get in a traditional store. The photos don’t do the piece justice, it’s even more...
