Great service
This Maker has consistently demonstrated excellence in craftsmanship and customer service.
I am an independent artist/artisan working exclusively in reclaimed, recycled, upcycled and found materials.
i make the useless useful again. i make worthless things priceless.
from conception, to making it to sweeping up, i am a one-man operation - by design.
my work is not for everyone. my customers are people who want truly unique, one-of-a-kind pieces that are made fairly and ethically from locally salvaged materials - with as small a footprint as i can muster.
i will make and ship things all over the united states (depending on size) but i prefer to work regionally (Boston to NYC and thereabouts).
listed on this page are some pieces i've made for others and some pieces i have available for sale. but what i really want to do is design and make what YOU want. let's do it!
be good,
tim
oh yeah, at youtube.com/timsway you will find more than one hundred video of things i've made.

For Lisa's Dining Table5.0Thank you Tim for making my vision come to life (and within budget!!!) You humbly stated that you are not the best wood worker on custom made but you could've fooled me. Your work is beautiful and well crafted, and you know how to work fluidly with your clients, which is the most difficult part.
Thank you again and I wouldn't hesitate to work with you again in the future!

For A bar/pub height high chair for a toddler5.0Tim was great. He made a high chair for my daughter that is perfect for our kitchen counter/bar and also functions as a step-stool (which we also need). He kept us informed about the process and took our feedback into account. It is evident that he thought about the design quite a bit and put a lot of time and effort into construction. I would highly recommend his work.

For Custom Guitars From Reclaimed Materials5.0This was my first experience with Custom Made, and it rocked! Tim did such an awesome job on the bass. He finished way ahead of his projection and kept it at a very reasonable price. The bass itself is beautiful; it plays so well. I’ve owned many basses in my day, but this is by far the most unique. I cannot recommend Tim Sway Perspectives enough.
His communication throughout the project was fantastic; I received updates regularly. He was very open to my input, which was great. Tim definitely wants the customer to be satisfied.
If you want a really cool bass [or guitar], look no further. Do yourself a favor and let Tim Sway make it for you.
