Platform Bed Rustic Cypress Wood
This bed is a king size platform with two drawers on each side. I used cypress for a rustick look and feel. This bed was placed in a hunting lodge in East Texas. The bed breaks down in two peices for moving about.

Great service
This Maker has consistently demonstrated excellence in craftsmanship and customer service.
Specializing in Arts and Crafts and Mission style furniture. I especially like to build from the harvesting of the tree. I only harvest trees downed from storm damage or being removed for construction purposes. I will have the log sawn and I will dry and mill the lumber myself. Native woods I like to work with most are Walnut, White and Red Oak, Cherry, Ash, Pecan, Hickory and Pine. I also have a source for west Texas Mesquite. I will build your furniture from the wood of your choosing be it domestic or exotic. Each peice is built by me and finished one at a time. Your furniture is the most important. I have been working with wood for over 30 years and continue to gain knowledge and refine my skills. I look forward to visiting with you and discussing your furniture design. My desire is to build you that special heirloom you have always wanted. From the Forest to your home.

For rework dining room furniture5.0I wanted to update my dining room furniture. This set belonged to my grandmother and is approximately 85 years old. I wanted to combine the hutch and buffet into one piece. I also wanted the "raw wood" finish that is so popular now. Needless to say, I am thrilled with the finished product. During the process, I told Rick that I wanted a mirror in the back, glass shelves and down lights. He happily obliged. I found Rick through a Google search which lead me to CustomMade. Luckily, he was in my area, which made the process very convenient!!! I plan to use Rick again for a custom office armoire. I am confident that he could build and create anything!!

For Mesquite Wood Box With Wooden Hinges.5.0We are very happy with the mesquite box that Rick made for us. It has a beautiful turquoise inlay, just as we requested and the mesquite grain shows beautifully. The work was completed as scheduled and Rick kept us in the loop at every step. We feel we have gotten a handcrafted work of art for a great price. You should check out Rick's work!

For Bookcase5.0Rick Hensley's work is phenomenal!! We started the process with designs that I described and he translated into sketches. A couple of revisions later and we were ready to go with the project. Rick was easy to contact and in synch with what I was looking for which made the design process a breeze.
Then Rick started building the bookshelves and always provided weekly pictures, which was great so I could see the progress. Also, i did not ask for this, but he made the desktop from antique maple wood from 100+year old tree on the back of his property. It is so unique and gorgeous, I am thrilled he took that initiative and allowed it to become part of my home.
Once complete, we scheduled a good weekend, and he brought the completed bookshelves and desk to my house and installed them with his brother's help. Unfortunately, I had to leave during the install for a commitment, but my husband was there and got to see the whole process.
Rick stayed all day to make sure everything was perfect when I got home. The bookshelves and desk are so high quality, I will never ever work with anyone else on needs like this. Rick will be our go-to guy for any wood working needs. The final outcome is gorgeous and looks like it should have always been there - seamless, beautiful, pure craftsmanship.
I will more than happily recommend Rick to anyone seeking a project like this, as it was a pleasure to work with him, and I already have an idea for a new project! I could not be a happier client!!
