Tired of finding both desks of cards, a pencil and notepad every time each time you want to play Canasta, Shanghai or other card games? This card box is made of American cherry, with a magnetic and brass latch, pencil tray and shallow lid pocket for a notepad or instructions. The inside bottom is lined with ultra suede and has a lift loop for easy removal of the card boxes. The bottom has felt pads to protect your tabletop. The cherry grain is beautiful and will age to a rich reddish hue. This is something that can be passed on to future generations for generations. Additional wood species are available as well as custom engraving and other sizes.

For Solid Walnut Edge Grain Personalized Cutting BoardWhat 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.

todd jaeblon
For todd's ClockOur custom clock by Geoff was an absolute work of art and superb quality. I would absolutely ask him to create another piece without hesitation. The work was certainly “Top Notch” as his monicker implies and at an exceptionally reasonable cost for such a quality piece. Thank you very much
Diana McCarron
For Morgan Solid Wood Bathroom VanityIf you are looking for custom woodwork, look no further! Geoff IS THE MAN! From start to finish on our project, he was on top of everything! He took a picture we had provided him from one of those renovations websites, took the measurements we provided including a wall that was not square, and made the most BEAUTIFUL floating walnut bathroom vanity for our half bath that fit like a glove! It looks exactly like the picture! He also made matching floating shelves which were beautiful as well! His packing/shipping method is second to none; couldn’t ever see any damages occurring the way he packs the items! He also included step by step instructions for the installation of both the vanity and shelves. His communication was excellent throughout the project! Geoff is VERY talented, and a professional at his trade!

For Custom embroidery floss drawersGeoff Gahm did a spectacular job on my custom drawers. He helped me figure out what I wanted (this was my first piece of custom-made furniture), and quickly replied to all my emails. The finished product is amazing and is absolutely an heirloom piece (as well as completely functional as I wanted it to be). I recommend him very, very highly.
Kelly Murphy
For Custom Made Bathroom VanityFrom design to delivery, Geoff made things easy. Quality solid construction, with far superior materials than pre-fab vanities found all over the web and in home stores. Will work with them again for my next project. Thanks Geoff!

Sappho Roche
For Tatami Platform BedI'm giving Geoff 5-stars all around because I think he deserves it, but I want to highlight that I felt Geoff's rates were extremely fair, that he was very helpful throughout the project, and that working with him on delivery day was just a lot of fun. He'll be the first person I try to go to for any future woodworking projects. My new bed is gorgeous.
Ade Adekunle
For Custom Built In'sMy overall experience with the CustomMade procurement protocol and process was very good. It was a pleasure to work with Geoff Gahm. From the conceptual pictures I sent him, he sketched and offered professional advise on the design and he was flexible to guide and accommodate my changes. He also kept me up to date on his progress. His work is of high quality and he personally delivered my cabinets ahead of schedule. I am very satisfied!
Rob Frost
For Custom playing card set/caseGeoff was absolutely fantastic to work with and the finished product is incredible. I gave him quite a specific request (with a fair few details), and he was able to fulfil every single detail to levels beyond what I had expected. The final product (a playing card box) is brilliant and made to the highest quality. I had a very specific date that I had to get it by, and he made sure that that date was met. I'd highly recommend working with Geoff for whatever you need!
Matt Miszewski

For Custom Made Outdoor Storage BoxGeoff was very easy to work and provided a high quality work product on time. He worked with me to get the specifications, providing drawings and dimensions to ensure we were aligned. We also talked about the type of wood being used. The end product was really nice and perfect for what I wanted. Geoff delivered the two cabinets he built for me and even installed the casters on one using my materials. Geoff is very friendly and I would highly recommend him to anyone who needs custom woodwork done!
NICOLA ROONEY
For Keepsake BoxFinal product is beautiful, just what I wanted. Geoff was quick to respond to my questions, and gave me all the details I asked about.

Stacy Hostetler
For Birdseye Dropfront DeskWe had a great experience working with Geoff on the custom desk project that he completed. I had some specific requests and he did a great job and the outcome is beautiful. The desk is sturdy, well-made and has the exact aesthetic touches that we specified. Plus, he hand delivered it and helped get it carried up the stairs and get it in place for a reasonable fee. If you have a carpentry project I highly recommend Geoff and Top Notch Carpentry! Many thanks Geoff!
Helena Kee
For Floating Shelving With BracketsSo happy with the quality, ability to modify the basic design and communication. Geoff is quite busy, so the shelves took about 6 weeks from start to finish, but well worth it!!
