    Timothy is fantastic at what he does. He made custom wedding gifts that my fiance and I had in mind for our guests, and he was absolutely incredible at communicating extremely quickly. (We were abroad at the time and even had nearly a full day's time difference between us for the duration of the project.)

    We were pleasantly surprised at how quickly he created 'prototype'/sample versions and sent pictures so we could further discuss the design and pricing. Absolutely incredible!

    He was very willing to work with us on pricing. We discussed ways the sanding could be done to better match the price point we had in mind. He was even willing to make a few extras (that he will hang onto), just in case we decide to purchase a few additional favors closer to the wedding! Since we are going to wait on staining the wood, he also gave us recommendations on which products to use for that.

    We highly recommend Timothy for any custom woodworking project! We couldn't have asked for better wedding favors. We can't wait to share them with our guests!

    Tim was an absolute pleasure to work with on my project. He went above and beyond to help me turn a drawing that I made into a physical object that I know I will treasure for years and generations to come. He is so knowledgable on his craft, so do not be afraid if you aren't aware of how wood and other materials work (I surely wasn't). I couldn't recommend him more. Worth every penny and more. Look no further!!!

    It was a pleasure working with Tim. He is very professional and timely with communication. He takes the time inquire your needs and very detail-oriented to ensure you will receive the most unique and beautiful final product. My husband is incredibly hard to shop for, and Tim made the most original valet koa wood box with exquisite lining that took incredible craftsmanship--and my husband just loved it! Due to the detail required, the box did take slightly longer than expected (although, Tim was in communication about this), but it was definitely worth the wait. I would definitely work with Tim again, and highly recommend his craft. He is extremely talented.
