Hope Chest

I ordered custom menu boards for my restaurant. Dave was very to easy to work with and made exactly what I was looking for.

Dave worked very hard to make the project to my specification. He went out of his way to make sure the project was great quality and exactly what I wanted. I would recommend anyone to Dave that was looking for a custom woodworking project.

From start to finish working with Dave was very easy. He listened to what we were looking for and brought it to life. He is a very skilled craftsman and I look forward to using his talent in the future.

After the hotel staff threw out our wedding cake topper—a custom made replica of the bridge on which we got engaged in Venice—I have searched high and low for an artist who might be able to recreate it (the original artist was not available anymore). Dave from Hardwood Creations wrote back to my CustomMade project request with examples of his work, his plan for the project, and an estimate on timing and budget. Along the way, I received many emails from Dave with updates (including photos). He also sent me a note whenever he wanted to make sure I was alright with the direction he was taking. His recommendation to inscribe part of the bridge with my and my wife's initials and our wedding date made the project feel that much more personal. After his first build didn't come out exactly as he planned, he asked for a short extension on the deadline. This was fine with me and I even offered to up the budget a bit—considering the extra time and material he was putting into the project to get it just right. Dave said he wasn't concerned about the money, just wanted to make sure couple of extra days would be alright. In the end, the bridge arrived in time for the holidays and my wife and I were both delighted with the result. We owe a great deal of thanks to Dave for the superb attention to detail and craft.

Dave was so thoughtful insightful of my needs on my project, as was tough on what i wanted ,and Dave came thru in every way possible.

Dave did an awesome job of delivering what I described to him via email. He turned my "vision" into a real life walking staff that will be used by the gentleman that retired for many years to come. The receipenty of Dave's creation was amazed!
