Writing Studio Windows And Entry Door Made Of Redwood
This project was exciting as we were changing the original use of the building as a shed to an authors' writing studio. The traditional style casement windows were made to match the main homes original windows, including solid brass hardware, insulated glass, true divided lights and old growth redwood. Below the casement windows on the interior are fold down writing desks which allow the author to look directly outside while writing. When guests come to visit the desks fold down and the studio becomes a guest cottage. The front arched top entry door needed to fill an oversize opening of 7' x 4' and so we created the offset doorway that creates an elegant entry with its book matched door panels and flowing arch. Custom sizes are our specialty and we use quality materials to last as long as our high quality construction. We use mortise and tenons, and marine varnishes as well as high quality weather stripping.

Oct 25, 2017The sea chest is beautiful! We requested a difficult item that required a high level of expertise and we couldn't be happier with the result. Geoff was very easy to work with, responded to all my questions, and delivered the finished chest sooner than expected. I recommend Top Notch Carpentry very highly!

Sep 13, 2014Beyond pleased with the gorgeous traveling jewelry box made by Geoff. While functionality was the initial reason for the jewelry box, Geoff make it beautiful as well. He was able to take my vision and turn it into exactly what I needed. Could not have had a better experience. I highly recommend Geoff for your project.

Aug 26, 2024What started out as a desire for a custom cutting board designed to fit in my kitchen, turned out to be a piece of art which I will now have to hide from my girlfriend - else lose it to her. This is a beautiful, practical piece of art that will be an heirloom. Great price and woodwork; creative - I will return to Geoff for more!! Jim Amos, US Army Retired.

Jun 5, 2016This was my first experience contracting through custommade.com. I am very impressed with the seamlessness of the process, the quality of craftsmen (experience of 1) and the end product in place in less than a month. Geoff Gahm was so easy to work with; listened; "got-it"; and dove in to produce a lift-up bed for my new living space that needs to find storage wherever. I would and will engage Geoff again. And, he appears to have quite a breath of experience in many areas of cabinetry, and crafting in wood. Thank you Geoff.
