Corner Shelf

Corner Shelf

$400

Our client wanted a special shelf to display mementos of world travels. The difficulty was in making some of the shelves work for taller items that would not fit if all the shelves were spaced at even intervals. We came up with a rather whimsical "cloud" design that made a couple of the shelves longer and therefore provide these spots for tall objects. Made from solid cherry (vertical member) and quarter-sawn sycamore which has a very distinctive grain pattern while contrasting nicely with the cherry. Shelves were kept thin to reduce weight and profile to make the focus the items, not the shelf.

    Having worked in the retail furniture business for over 30 years I was thrilled to find that I could have this piece handcafted right here in the USA……very happy with quality and appearance of piece. Tom Stark was great to work with….the whole process went seamless. I look forward to using Custommade in the future.

    I bought this as a wedding gift. The bride and groom loved it! It made a unique and personal gift. The maker was very personable and easy to communicate with. The finished product was excellent and the project was delivered to us in a very timely timeline.

    With very little direction from us, a few photos from websites we like and some dimensions, Tom was able to create exactly what we wanted. He was prompt with his initial and follow-up communications with us. He started with a simple sketch and some great questions that teased out exactly what we wanted. As the project came together, he sent us some great photos that kept us informed of his progress. It was shipped just about when he said it would be shipped and when it arrived, his attention to detail was obvious (even his shipping crate was well made). It is well finished, sturdy, and exactly what we were hoping for. We are recommending Tom to several of our friends and will probably use him again.
