Great service
This Maker has consistently demonstrated excellence in craftsmanship and customer service.
Fused glass work is my primary focus, but I also work in leaded stained glass, found object sculpture, large abstract watercolors, and acrylic painting. I use glass to make custom lighting fixtures and chandeliers. Most of my material is scrap recycled from local leaded glass businesses. Musical themes predominate, but I am open to other imagery. I am able to incorporate text and personal photographs into my custom work.
In addition to glass, I make custom or reproduction lead castings for use with leaded glass panels.

For Savanna's Chandelier5.0Working with David was an absolute pleasure. He took the time early on to really understand my vision, and made working with him so easy. His constant communication at every step of the way kept us completely involved and allowed us to take control of the project from a distance. He definitely went above and beyond personally driving our piece to Florida for delivery (from Texas!) and has left us with nothing but great things to say about him.
I'm already trying to dream up new projects just so we can work with him again and have more than one David Zvanut original in our home!

For Blown Glass Sphere Chandelier5.0I am so happy with the chandelier David has made for me! He has been so helpful and professional. I had initially thought I wanted to design all of it myself, but quickly realized how complicated that would be, so without hesitation David came us with an AMAZING design and kept me updated every step of the way. The chandelier is so pretty and way more affordable than I thought it would be! I highly recommend him.

For Floor lamp Project4.7David was very professional and communicated easily and often. He was able to translate my sophomoric drawings into a perfect replacement for the broken glass lamp shades that had been destroyed in a recent earthquake. His charges were reasonable. His attention to detail, provision of progress images and reports, and desire to satisfy were gratifying and all products arrived intact and as expected. I would certainly request his services again and recommend him and CustomMade to my friends and relatives.

Charisse Elwin
For Charisse's Art & Music5.0We are just amazed at the quality of David’s work. From the beginning to the end he exceeded our greatest expectations and created a work of art that will be cherished for generations.
This was a project with great emotional significance for our family and David’s approach from the start assured us he understood that and every step of the way he proved it couldn’t have been in better hands.
David maintained close contact throughout the process, invited our input and even invited my daughter and her family to his studio to see the project as he was creating it. He went above and beyond every step of the way to assure it was exactly what we wanted.
I can’t recommend him highly enough and we definitely plan to utilize his amazing talent in the years to come. Thank you David!
