Brove Hill Table Lamp

Working with Jim was easy and smooth. He is a fantastic craftsman and was thoughtful and responsive throughout the project. Thank you!

We are very happy that we run into Jim Eddy through Custommade.com. Jim took our desk ideas and transformed them into an excellent working desk. The quality of his wood work and attention to details is perfect. We now have a unique office desk that is spacy, easy to work with and gorgeous. Jim's choice or wood and leather transformed the tradional office desk into a life style statement. We are very grateful to Jim and looking forward to few other projects. By the way, Jim shipped this across the county and with no scratch. Many many thanks Gennady and Masha, Mountain View, CA

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 chose James Eddy for a bookcase project the included challenges that most other cabinet makers either balked at or refused outright to tackle. After much consultation with Jim, he admitted that he had never tackled anything like this before, but was very interested in handling it. His enthusiasm and obvious talent won me over. I could not have asked for a better job. His craftsmanship and attention to detail was amazing. As it was to be part of a Victorian library, he even included a shelving adjustment design that had been used in a library from the 1800's. No metal pins, all fitted wood, quite amazing. Jim even noticed a rather elaborate design that was carved in the corners of my Queen Anne desk, and hand carved the same design into the bookcase pilasters, rather than just fluting them. All in all I could not be more pleased with the work, and the price was quite reasonable. Jim will soon start another project for me. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
