Cabinetry with an Arts & Crafts/Shaker style for a house that wasn't really Arts & Crafts, but wished it was. Rift sawn white oak was used throughout. Countertops were laminate with oak edging. An oak and stainless steel pot grid was installed to the walls adjacent to the stove. Cork flooring. All drawers and lower shelves were hung with full extension undermount drawer slides.

For Platform Bed With Low Head & Foot BoardI am very happy with the final product. James was very professional, easy to work with, put up with all my questions…His work was meticulous. I would work with him again.

For Shaker Drop Leaf TableJim 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.

For Oak Drop-Arm Morris Chair & FootstoolThe reclaimed, antique Chestnut wood chairs are beautiful and look like Antiques. He went the extra mile to find Organic Hemp for the seat webbing. Design is unique, which is what I wanted, and my cats have approved of them as well.

For Brove Hill Table LampTruly wonderful lamps, modified as asked and arrived on time.

For Office Desk / TableI 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.
