For Wooden shoulder stock for Camera ProjectI 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.

For Upholstered Dining ChairsI 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

For Diane's HeadboardI 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.

For English Country desk topIt'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!
