For oak bed step5.0Mr. Batterman exceeded our expectation on workman ship, communication, and helpful hints for improvements. The workmanship of the finished product was beautiful. The finished product was shipped three week ahead of schedule and the packaging was very professional, there was no way it could get damaged during shipment. The price for the project was very reasonable and we will use Mr. Batterman for any future wood projects.

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.
