Retirement Shadow Box
This shadow box was made custom to fit the retiring Assistant Chief's first fire ax and a special spot for the badge he wore and was allowed to keep. The box was made so the ax would not fall out but could be retrieved easily for home defense (I guess you gotta know this guy, lol) This box was made from two types of wood to give it dimension The reddish stripped wood is sugar pine and the lighter frame was Juniper. Being a Volunteer fire fighter this project took a special place in my heart and can't wait to make one for myself. (but I'm not retiring anytime soon) Of course your shadow box can be custom made to fit whatever keep sake or memory you want to preserve and show off. Prices starting at $150. Going up with size and complexity

Building Art One Board At A Time…
In a converted old barn, I built the custom woodworking shop I always wanted. I've been building smaller projects to keep busy inbetween the larger projects, along with working in a custom cabinet shop part time.
On a more personal note:
I'm married to my forever friend, we have 7 kids, 3 boys, 4 girls with the youngest being twins. It is a great blessing to have my shop right next to my house so I can help out with all the kids, but Mom keeps things in pretty good order.

Jul 17, 2013Jeff is easy to work with and understands how to balance quality and value. I had 4 pizza peels made as well as a 36" x 36" cutting board. They are excellent quality and design. I highly recommend him.

Mar 26, 2013It was really great having Jeff work on this project. The shelves turned out exactly as I wanted and was properly wrapped/protected when shipped. I would definitely use Jeff again!

Apr 12, 2013Jeff was terrific to work with, very professional, and drew out designs for me until I was satisfied with it; I have no qualms there. I think something got a little mixed up in communication because the photos I've seen of the finished product (which hasn't arrived here yet, so I can't be sure if this is a real issue or just a photography glitch) have somewhat different colors than what I thought I was asking for. It is not a big deal, and it looks like a nice, well-made sign; just noting it. Otherwise, it was an enjoyable experience and I'm looking forward to receiving my sign.

Mar 26, 2013Jeff was wonderful with which to work. He took our idea and made a work of art. This was not an easy project but he put in the time and used his talent to make it a reality. I would highly recommend Jeff for any project he bids. As soon as we hang our barn quilt I will upload a photo. A++
