Rustic Computer Armoire
In my opinion, office furniture is a place that custom furniture makers can really shine. I'm tech-savvy, so I understand the need for cable runs, good air flow around computers, etc. I designed this piece after doing a huge amount of research and realizing there was absolutely nothing like it on the market. The project called for a single case (armoire) to house a computer, speakers, printer, printer paper, and other accouterments. You open the piece up and have a fully functional workstation. Close it down at the end of the day and you are looking at a rustic armoire as opposed to a bunch of electronics. Computer armoire made of oak and then painted, sanded, and scraped. Door panels of antique ceiling tin.

Sep 15, 2015John 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!

Aug 24, 2015John 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.

Jul 11, 2015Working 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.

Dec 12, 2014John 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.
