Build Your Own Family Heirloom
If you have ever wondered what's goes into designing and building a piece of heirloom-quality Moser furniture, now you can experience it for yourself. What started as an experiment has blossomed into a full-fledged program that, much to our amazement, has attracted interest from all over the globe.
We are thrilled that our Customer in Residence Program made the list of the
TEN BEST MID-LIFE CRISIS TRIPS
by leading travel authority website,
TravelAndLeisure.com
!
The
Customer In Residence (CIR)
program is a weeklong internship for our customers who want to experience the process of building Moser furniture for themselves. Each participant works side-by-side with a master cabinetmaker in our shop. This mentor will assist in the selection of raw materials and the crafting of a hallmark Moser piece. Among many things, the participant will learn about the intricacies of joinery, the shaping and molding of solid cherry, and even how to bring out the natural luster of wood with the right amount of wax and elbow grease. This is a rare experience for the novice or expert woodworker and may well be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

ABOUT CIR
The CIR program is a weeklong immersion into the Thos. Moser workshop environment. It provides a unique opportunity for our most loyal customers to visit our shop and, under the direction of a seasoned cabinetmaker, make their own piece of furniture utilizing the same tools and woodworking techniques that our own craftspeople use on a daily basis.
Each person will stay at the historic Harraseeket Inn in downtown Freeport. From there, each participant will travel to our workshop daily to work side-by-side with a master cabinetmaker. This mentor will assist in the crafting of a hallmark Moser piece. All participants will share their workshop experiences on a daily basis, as well as take part in trips to the Grange Hall in nearby New Gloucester (where we had our first shop) and attend a couple of special Moser group dinners.
The cost to participate in the CIR program varies depending on the piece that each attendee chooses to build.
