Jim Eddy is a remarkable furniture maker and a remarkable man. He is deeply knowledgeable about the history, form, details and the wood species, the many variables/behavioral characteristics of wood, milling, finishes etc. Jim was instrumental for making design decisions. He dedicated an enormous amount of his time to talk with me about the many details. He worked extremely efficiently, and completed my tables on time, under a very pressured deadline. He managed to do this despite delays that I myself caused when I asked him to pause the process, a couple of times, while we evaluated options for details and finishes. Jim produced samples, mailed them, and kept me up-to-date about all the issues. Always very accessible and thoughtful. The result is a remarkable table, a transformation of the Shaker drop leaf type. The finish and details are stunning. Everyone I have shown it to has found it to be beautiful. I intend to work with Jim again on future furniture projects. He is a rare, extraordinary, genuine artist.

I had to do considerable extra work on the final product in order for the drawers to work properly. I provided the concept drawing and Jim designed the rest. The final product looks fantastic from a small distance. It is in the details of the construction that is disappointing. It has been a little over a year since Jim installed it and I have just recently finished fixing it. After some communication to have Jim complete the project and having him say he would take care of it. I ended up just doing it myself. He never got back with me on this project.

I had Jim Eddy build me a custom desk for my home office. It had many different seating sections, overhead shelving and custom drawers. He did an exceptional job at building the desk - it is both professionally laid out, very functional and beautifully aesthetic. Jim was very collaborative in the design of the desk - taking the various ideas that I had and incorporating even better ideas to make it exactly the workspace I was looking for.

I've had the desk in place now for six months and the quality has held up exceptionally well. I am very pleased with the overall product and with the daily use I enjoy of it

The only very slight negative was that the project went quite a bit over the time frame I was looking for because of a previous project he had that was going longer and because my officephysical workspace was very unique (old house with very uneven floors and ceilings) and a little more difficult to work in than he originally planned.

Ultimately, I have recommended Jim to other people who have seen my desk and are looking for a project of that quality.
