This vase is made for a piece of apple wood that had many cracks and other defects. The cracks and the void in the lip of the vase give it a very rustic and unique appearance. The vase is 4 1/4" in diameter and 12 1/4" high. It is finished with 5 coats of semigloss wipe-on polyurethane. This would make an excellent piece for a cabin or natural decorated room.

We are located in the beautiful town of Bath, in Mid Coast Maine.
We design and build custom furniture using quality domestic hardwoods as well as exotic species. All designs are unique. We will work with the customer to include their preferences in design, wood species and finish. We also repair and refinish all types of wooden furniture, especially antiques.
We build a wide variety of custom cabinetry, including entertainment centers, bookcases, vanities and cabinets for special needs.
We build custom moldings and wainscotings, especially those no longer available for restoration of older homes.
We do woodturnings (bowls, vases, etc.) in a variety of woods.
We make many smaller craft items, wooden toys, and accessories.
Most woodworking projects are custom designed to meet your needs and preferences in terms of design, wood species, and finishing options.
All clear finished projects are hand rubbed for a furniture quality finish. Painted projects are primed and finished with two coats of paint.
We will provide free estimates on all projects.
Dean's woodworking is some of the best I've seen in any context. I appreciated his thorough planning work at the design stage and constant communication through the building process. We incorporated most of his design suggestions in the plans, and I think he improved the project significantly beyond what I initially had in mind. I also received the final product several weeks ahead of schedule.
Dean was very easy to work with and made beautiful pieces. Would work with him again. Highly recommend.
Well made desk. Dean has listened to all my requests and executed exactly what I was expecting to see.
Dean made a gorgeous wooden music box to my exact specifications. The craftsmanship of the box is stunning; every detail was attended to and made perfect, and it just feels like Dean cared about and took time with every inch of the process, even through packing and shipping. The consultation process was easy and pleasant. I cannot recommend him highly enough.
