Welcome to Woodman Custom Design. Operating out of the vibrant rural town of Haarlem in South Africa, we are dedicated to producing authentic, high-quality wooden goods. The rugged beauty of our local landscape inspires everything we build, ensuring that every piece carries the soul of its environment.
"Honoring my skills as a carpenter, where I specialized in cabinet making, joinery, tiling, and designing custom kitchens, bedrooms, bathrooms and entertainment areas."
Hello! I am Nico Scholtz, the director and founder of Woodman Custom Design, based in Haarlem in the Western Cape. My primary objective as an entrepreneur is not merely to build a successful business, but to educate and skill others, uplifting myself and my community in the process.
I bring years of hands-on experience and professional dedication to my craft. Before establishing Woodman Custom Design in January 2023, I spent years honing my skills as a cabinet maker, where I specialized in carpentry, tiling, and designing custom kitchens, bedrooms, bathrooms, and entertainment areas. To ensure that I serve my customers with the utmost professionalism, I back up my practical abilities with formal Business Management training through SEDA, as well as Costing and Pricing training through SEDFA.
When you work with me, you are partnering with an artisan who focuses heavily on practicality, durability, and style in every single design. I pride myself on being honest, devoted, and highly focused on my clients' needs. Eloquent communication is essential to my process, and I approach every client consultation with a cheerful spirit to ensure that fulfilling your vision always ends with a smile.
From our first consultation to the final delivery, I take my responsibilities seriously, always prioritizing impeccable craftsmanship and strict workshop safety.
Watch how we transform raw materials into beautiful, lasting pieces.

Proudly situated in a rural town, we empower our community by keeping our craftsmanship local and authentic.
We source the finest timber from the region, honoring the natural textures and grains of South African wood.
No mass production. Every item is individually crafted with care, resilience, and attention to detail.
