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 Round glass topped curio side tableI am very happy with the curio table. Fit, finish and appearance are excellent. Rick Hensley and I communicated as needed during the project and I talked with him face to face several times. He is a skilled craftsman, nice person and one who meets his commitments.

For rework dining room furnitureI 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!!
