This Mahogany Sideboard is a multi-functional piece that adds a touch of simple elegance to any room, this one is currently in an entryway. Constructed with mortise and tenons, it is destined to become an heirloom. Although it is based on a traditional Hepplewhite piece it would fit well in a more contemporary setting. With a hand rubbed finish on Honduran Mahogany with figured Santos Mahogany drawer fronts it is a collectible that will go in a dining room, family room or a lobby/ entryway. Can be built with a variety of different woods to make it your own.

The use of both domestic and exotic woods helps me to enhance the clean lines of my designs. I am influenced by a variety of styles from Shaker and Mission to Art Deco and Art Nouveau, blending them into a more contemporary style.
I have worked with wood for over 30 years, establishing VB Woodworks in 1996.
Along with designing and building custom furniture, I have a few limited productions and semi-custom lines with no two pieces exactly the same.

For Coffee TableThis craftsman was very informative throughout the entire process. He often forwarded pictures showing the progress. The product was PERFECT. He missed his deadline by a few days, but this was ok because I was not in a rush to receive this. The table was packed perfectly and arrived quickly. LOVE the table and would highly recommend this craftsman.

For Purpleheart And Birdseye Maple Console TableDarrin is great! He provided me with great ideas and and possible alternatives in wood. The option I ended up selected looks FABULOUS!
The packaging for the table is amazing! There was no damage whatsoever to the table -- I don't think there could have been unless the box was crushed! :-)
I am extremely pleased with my purchase and how it turned out.
Darrin, thank you so very much for a splendid job!

For Chess TableLet's get one thing out of the way - the table is beautiful. You hope it will turn out that way, but when you base a decision on a small picture of something that is kind of like what you want (but what you want is something very different) in the beginning all you have is hope. That's how it started with me.
I saw a picture of a chess table that Darrin had made. It looked nice, but I needed something larger and with the board portion made of different materials. Before I really knew about his craftsmanship I already felt comfortable with the decision to go with Darrin because he listened. It wasn't how he had made a chess table before, but it was what I wanted. With photo updates along the way Darrin could show me that my choice worked (and that he might use these materials again for other clients). The table was packed in a way that it could have made it unscathed if it was drop shipped to a war zone.
When I got the table the only surprise was how cool the table really was. It's everything I wanted. I'm very pleased that I worked with Darrin on this. He did a fantastic job.

For Console TableI couldn't be happier! Darrin was a pleasure. I described what I wanted and, in two or three emails, he had set to paper exactly what I had in mind. I was able to watch the process since Darrin sent pics at different stages of development. He drove the completed table to my house when he said he would (despite there having been a blizzard the preceding day), set it up, gave me detailed information on how to care for it, and was extremely generous in offering to change/fix whatever didn't suit me. Unnecessary, since the piece is gorgeous! For a big guy, he has quite a gentle touch in his woodworking!

For Purpleheart And Birdseye Maple Console TableConsider this a rave review. Five stars plus.
Darrin was especially easy to work with, he took his time in answering my questions and always made himself readily available. I chose to work with him based on photographs that were posted and that he sent of previous work and after speaking together I knew that he understood exactly what I was looking for. The craftsmanship of these pieces is beyond what I had expected, and believe me I had high expectations. Darrin created a writing desk with matching night stands out of walnut with contrasting sections done in Curley Maple with hand made drawer pulls. They are beautiful pieces of art that I will enjoy for many years. Thank you, Darrin!
