Dec 18, 2012Andrew was excellent to work with. I supplied a couple pictures of a similar piece along with some details specific to my application. He quickly turned around some plans and selected some beautiful local walnut for the project. He even made the interior shelf out of the same walnut even though I did not specify that in the initial discussion. Excellent attention to detail. Communication was excellent, and he met (or exceeded) every deadline we had discussed. I will surely use Andrew again in the future. Thanks so much Andrew, we expect to have this piece in our family for a long time.

Jan 10, 2013Andrew did an excellent job from start to finish. I started the project with a somewhat vague idea of what I wanted; Andrew provided some very helpful suggestions for design, material and finish. He produced very high-quality work on time and on budget, and kept me posted on progress throughout. I'd enthusiastically recommend Andrew to anyone looking for woodworking.
