For cedar table topJohn 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.

For Gourmet Cutting BoardsJohn 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.
