Joe van Benten ran a very successful custom furniture business on Boylston St in Chestnut Hill for many years. https://www.vanbenten.com/.
The Boston Globe did a feature on him when he retired: https://www.bostonglobe.com/2021/11/26/metro/an-old-cabinet-maker-master-craftsman-its-time-some-high-polished-finishing-touches/
Address: 9 Centre Street, Dover 02030.
Joe's driveway has a small marker, so it's easy to miss. However, there's plenty of parking room at the end of the driveway, approaching his barn/shop.
As always, coffee willl be available for $2, and a group will venture off in search of lunch after the meeting.
