Box was custom sized to fit the Customers old Family Bible and allow space for hands to pick up the Bible. It is 14-1/2" Long x 13-1/2" Wide x 5-1/4" High. The Top was Hinged so that it open toward the Top for ease of removing Book. Materials used were 5/8" Thick African Mahogany , Solid Brass Hinges (90 degree stop), Brown Felt (for interior bottom), UV Glass and Semi-gloss Polyurethane for the finish. All corners were mitered then had splines inserted for strength and looks. There are soft rubber pads on each bottom corner to keep the Box from scratching the surface it is placed on as well as to keep the Box from sliding around.

For Jeffrey's Vanity for a small BathroomHe was great to communicate with. You can't go wrong working with him. What was nice was he suggested some things I had not considered in the design which I then incorporated. I already have another idea for a project for WIBN!

For Reclaimed Wood DeskI wanted to wait until a few months after i got this desk to review it. It's always better once you have a product for a bit to see how it works, fits, etc.
This is by far the most amazing piece of furniture I have ever owned. I specifically wanted an unusual size in height and width and the maker totally came through. He was incredibly communicative the whole way through and the installation (desk would not fit through the door fully assembled) was flawless. He even walked me through taking it apart when we have to move. Simple amazing and I am INCREDIBLY happy with this desk!

For Mahogany Book Display BoxVery happy
For Media Console
Absolutely Perfect!
Needed a media console to fit a very specific space and purpose. Stephen was the most responsive and had the best price of all the woodworkers that bid on the project.
After receiving the piece, all we can say is WOW! Everything was done to absolute perfection, the stain and finish are amazing and the piece looks and functions as well as we could possibly imagine.
Don't even spend your time looking elsewhere if you need a custom piece done. Just pick Stephen, you'll be glad that you did.
