Bassinet

These chairs are a work of art and Brian is a delight to work with. We had someone making the dining table to accompany the six chairs, and Brian was gracious enough to include him in design. Highly recommended!

Always a pleasure working with Brian! Highly recommend!!!

I can say that of all the projects we have embarked on with other craftsman,this was probably the best experience we have ever had. The bench looks like the sample picture, the workmanship is impeccable, and it came in record time. I am a little sorry we didn’t ask him to carve a design into the top rail, but we didn’t know what to expect and didn’t want to potentially complicate matters. Bravo to Bearkat, beautiful done! Thank you!

Fantastic experience! Highly recommend Brian for his excellent work & professionalism.

This was my second order with Brian. Exquisitely crafted. Perfect transaction from start to finish! This is my second rave review of Bearkat!

I just received my 10 dining chairs and my 4 barstools, all crafted by Brian Noel. They are truly stunning. I love them. Brian is an amazingly talented artisan, not to mention a true professional. He was in touch with me basically every day, from the first time we began discussing this project. After we agreed to a proposal, I received updates from him daily. He kept me thoroughly up to date on the progress he was making, either written or through pictures he sent. Conversations with Brian through custom made were highly descriptive, thoughtful, and totally responsive to my questions and ideas. The pictures he sent were absolutely accurate. I hope to meet him someday, to tell him in person how happy I am with the whole project. It was a wonderful experience working through the details of this project with Brian. I'm ordering 8 more Barstools (really comfy to sit on ) for another room. I can't recommend him highly enough. Sincerely, Sara Abrams

I was and am shocked by how good Bear Kat wood was: Extremely attentive, Price matched exactly, Communication throughout the process - even pictures to show the project in process! I could not be more happy with the final project. I would and have recommended without any reserve to friends and family.

Very professional craftsman! He took my ideas and made them even better. Always kept in touch with progress of the project. Was delivered earlier than expected. Cost was very reasonable. Highly recommend for wood working projects. Thanks so much!

I want to thank Brian for completing this project for me, he did an amazing job! I appreciate that he kept me informed of the progress and sent pictures, I love the end results and it was exactly as I pictured, TYVM!!

It's a masterpiece. This desk turned out far better than I could have hoped. The level of care, detail, skill, and craftsmanship is unprecedented. It is a truly beautiful piece, and Brian really brought out its personality. On top of all that, he was wondrously easy to work with; he kept me very much up-to-date and went above and beyond. I cannot recommend him strongly enough. I can't wait to work with him again!

Brian's in a league of his own. He's a pleasure to work with, and his work is breathtaking. He sent me pictures throughout the process, and the final piece was even more beautiful in person. The entire experience was perfect.

I can not say enough good things about my experience in working with Brian. He kept me in the loop every step of the way. Brian would send project progress photos often. Timely responses and follow up to any questions I or he had. He is a brilliant craftsman who's actual work looks better than your dream.

I am ecstatic about how great the quality of my project turned out. This maker is simply amazing. He is a skilled craftsman. He was very timely throughout in his communication and timeliness in finishing the project. He gave a prompt quote on my project with a finished by date and messaged me everyday on his progressed. I would recommend this maker to anyone I know. He is a truly professional person and I am very happy about my product.

Brian and Kitty completed the cherry TV cabinet, the cabinet with the lift and the TV raises and lowers, for my wife and I. It is a beautiful addition to our house, very well made, they were a pleasure to deal with, did what they said they would do, when they said they would do it. We will work him and Kitty again.

Brian did a great job on my custom clock. Although it was smaller than I had wanted and the face was slightly crooked, I was very impressed overall that my clock came out otherwise exactly to my specifications! Granted, this plastic clock isn't part of his wood-working specialty, but he still took on the project to help me get what I wanted. Thank you!

Brian and Kitty Noel (Bearkat Wood) are wonderful to work with, and true professionals. They build a specialized high vanity stool to our precise specifications and did a wonderful job! Rick and Heather Richardson Phoenix, AZ

Awesome maker to work with, couldn't be more pleased with the final result!

I was very pleased with the cribbage board Brian made for me. And not only was the finished product great, but the who experience was amazing. I received a reply from Brian within 12 hours of posting my project on Custom Made. From there, we proceeded quickly to a formal proposal and the project was finished a week a head of schedule. Custom Made is an awesome service and Brian is a great professional.

This project was a dream, start to finish. Brian was fantastic to communicate with and he asked several questions about my needs that I would otherwise not have thought of. I wanted a style that differed slightly from what he had listed on his page and he was eager to take it on! My chairs are gorgeous, and one of a kind. Everything about them is custom, right down to the handcrafted crate with specially cut styrofoam to protect the furniture in the shipping, and a custom message on the bottom of the stools. These are very special pieces, and I couldn't be happier. Use Brian for your next project, period!

Nice guy, great design idea, generally well executed, very reasonable price.

Bearcat was incredibly easy to work with. Brian contacted me immediately and kept me appraised of his work during the process. I was impressed that he went out and purchased a box of eye drops to make sure his finished product would work.

I am thrilled with the amazing work from Bearkat Wood. It was exactly what I wanted. Thanks so very much.

The entire experience with Bearkat Wood was great!
