Sea Coast Entertainment Center
This entertainment center was designed with an ocean theme for a sea coast location. Decorating appliqués include sand dollars, starfish, conch shells, and scallops as well as a large scroll. The unit is constructed using cabinet grade birch veneer ply for shelves and sides, and poplar lumber for facings and doors. Fluted columns accentuate the center portion of the unit which includes space for a 32 inch flat panel TV. It is painted white to match the woodwork in the existing living room. The unit was permanently installed including crown molding at the top.

For Wooden Case for Two Champagne Flutes5.0Dean'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.

For Wooden Music Box5.0Dean 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.
