Great service
This Maker has consistently demonstrated excellence in craftsmanship and customer service.
I am a cabinet/furniture designer and maker located in Richmond, VA. I was self taught and self employed for most of my woodworking career until a recent opportunity presented itself to live and work in London, UK for a two year period. I was employed at a high end cabinet shop in London that creates unique and award winning work for celebrity clients, international business people and other clients in the UK, Europe and occasionally the US. I worked alongside and learned from my co-workers who were master craftspeople from throughout Europe. It was an amazing and enlightening experience for me. I'm back in the States now, putting my "old world" knowledge and experience to good use.
Personally, my tastes in design lean towards mid-century modern, contemporary and Asian inspired work although I am happy to facilitate any style of custom woodworking project. I strive to create pieces of the highest precision and quality for both my customers' satisfaction as well my own sense of accomplishment and pride in my work.

For Walnut5.0Grant created a custom MCM solid walnut table for us last year and it has been fantastic. He provided a schematic for shape and size prior to starting the project. Communication was fantastic, and we came to pick it up when it was finished.

For Shaker Inspired Maple Table5.0Grant was incredibly attentive to my changing ideas around two projects and immediately grasped what I was after in both cases. His work is beautiful, detail-oriented, and finely crafted. He was very communicative around the production process and around arranging shipping - as well as with my questions around assembly when the pieces arrived.

For Custom Dining Tables - Riddling Racks5.0Grant built custom tables for us using retired riddling racks from our favorite vineyard. He was amazing start to finish, from design ideas, to communication while the tables were in process and final delivery. He took extra time to sand down the riddling racks that are the tops of our tables to make them really beautiful once stained while preserving the logos of the vineyard that we really wanted to keep. In short, the finished tables are stunning and I could not recommend someone more! We cannot wait to gather our family around these tables for meals for many many years to come.

For Kitchen Island5.0I am very please with the finished product that I received. Grant was very easy to work with and helped me get a product that I could not have designed on my own. He was helpful with making suggestions and to get feedback with designs he drew up before he began to build. The install process was smooth and timely. I plan on working with Grant in the future as my kitchen renovations progress. I would recommend him to my friends and family and am open to answer any questions that other Custom Made members may have.
