This was a fun project. The client recently opened a cheese shop and needed cabinet storage with a large work surface area and some shelving for displaying his wares. I decided to make him a massive, end-grain maple butcher block top. The top is 36 inches wide by 21 inches deep, which should give him all the cheese-cutting room he needs. The cabinetry is black walnut. The drawer is solid soft maple with through-dovetailed joinery. When I designed this piece, I wanted simple and elegant. I had sort of a 'country French' look in mind. Not sure if I pulled that off or not, but I like the look of the piece. By the way, if you happen to go to the Dallas Farmer's Market, you owe it to yourself to check out the Cheese Peddler in Shed 3. His stuff is fantastic! I love really sharp fromage, and Bob has a Texas cheddar that curled my toes.

    John made 2 very large cherry picture frames for me. Communication during the process went smoothly. John completed the frames on time for an extremely reasonable price. John is very easy to work with, and the frames look wonderful!

    John provide great value for the excellent work he performed for me. My project was a live-edge table top. He joined my planks together with a seamless seam, along with corrections for a warp in my boards. I am thoroughly satisfied with the final project. I would highly recommend Lone Star Artisans for their craftsmanship and customer service. Thanks for a job well done.

    Working with John was a pleasure from beginning to end. He was in constant communication, prompt with his work and his craftsmanship was worth every penny. I wanted something one of kind to be a wedding gift for a family member, something for them to treasure for years to come. John fulfilled that wish with care, flexibility and professionalism. I will order from John again and again.

    John is a top notch craftsman. He worked with me to find a cutting board that would wow my parents, but was within my budget. The finished product looked fantastic and feels solid enough to last a lifetime. The communication was first rate. Very happy.
