Does anyone know of a custom cabinet maker in Mexico that does work in alder?

I want very authentic, solid, furniture quality cabinetry. Not the prefab stuff that they sell here that we all have. I know they have some beautiful artisans there, but I don’t know where to start. Also, do you have advice for buying in Mexico? Would I need to get some kind of customs permit to bring cabinets to AZ?

Well theirs alot of places that make cabinets…i know of a couple in mexico not to far from the Tij-San Isidro border…..he’s made a couple of kitchens for me and my family…..he made me a beautiful one for 5,000 dlls which would probably run for about double here in the states! He works with all kind of wood… mail me at and maybe i can help u out? And about bringing them back here all u do is import them back i would imagine there would b a fee?

I don’t know much about alder in Mexico but I know it was grown for furniture wood in Europe, also useful for dowsing and witch work. There is a gifted craftsman in Baja Norte across from Fox Studios. He has made beautiful pieces for some of the up market houses and condos here. Check him out. he might know of other hardwoods available.
