For Baby Crib RepurposingRussell is a true craftsman. His work is excellent and would not hesitate to connect him again. My repurposing project was not an easy one but he came through with flying colors.

For Bar tableMr. Barnes was very professional and is an outstanding carpenter. I had driven to his home about an hour and a half away to view some of his furniture. We then talked at length about what I wanted: the wood type, dimensions, design options. He periodically sent me pictures of the progressing table and it was completed in a very timely manner. The finished product was just beautiful and exactly what we discussed and exactly what I had wanted. He delivered my table to my house for no extra charge and put a final coat of wax on the top before he left with instructions on how to take care of it. He takes pride in his work and I highly recommend working with Mr. Barnes.
