Here's the original request we received: I would like to get a custom shaped shadow box made for my dad who is retiring from the police department after 19 years. I attached a couple pictures, one is an image of the police department badge, another is a military shaped shadow box, and the other is a badge shaped shadow box. I really like the idea of having it shaped in his rank (sergeant) but i also like the idea of the badge shape. I would like to get an idea of what the maker is capable of. Also, I may need this project to be completed in a months time if possible. Budget flexible because of rushed timing. Here are some details on the project from the maker: Good afternoon Sarah, I am very pleased to offer you the following proposal with some loose ends to wrap up. 1. Birch display case with removable back with flat back mat board and a ply substrate back with turn button access and saw tooth picture hanger on it stained to your specifications via color specifiers. Design similar to image provided by you the customer. The Shadow box depth will be approx. 3 inches deep with glass front and Sargent strip above. Square glass pending. design at base. see added image provided. Stain color still pending. Please let me know if we missed anything and we can modify to fit. I look forward to the opportunity to work with you and to serve your needs. In your service, Tim

For Decorative Wine CabinetThis project was based on an example shown on the site, but customized to my specifications. The final result is very well made, with lovely finishing and attention to detail. Communication throughout the project was excellent, from initial planning for my needs all the way through to arrival at my home. And the piece was packed impeccably for shipping.

For Knife handle for hidden tang blankTim was amazing and made my project easy for me to be involved and his craftsmanship is awesome. I had contacted other artisans but by the first few exchanges with Tim I felt like he was going to be the best choice. Not only was he very professional and timely with his responses but he has a depth of knowledge in what I needed so that he could ask excellent questions and guide me to help make decisions so that it would all work out the way we wanted. This project, a special set of knife handles to go on vintage knives, was not only something we wanted to do but had a special family significance too. Tim made everything easy for me and he made me feel at ease turning over this project to him. he is not only a talented craftsman but also was able to understand the significance of this project to me. The knife handles were beautiful and exactly what we wanted and Tim made this into a great experience. I would definitely like to collaborate with Tim again on future projects.

For Wood Cube with DoorTim's work is phenomenal. He made a stunning, high quality cabinet that beautifully complements the high-end mahogany furniture in my Manhattan home. The craftsmanship is perfection and he made suggestions that vastly improved the end piece. He is professional and a pleasure to work with. I highly recommend Ziegler Woodwork and Specialty and I look forward to working with Tim again. Fabulous.
