Wynn Tansu, Storage Unit
This piece is made of polished steel, aluminum, vinyl covered aircraft cable, 4 types of laminate including Abet's translucent series and ash that has been filled with colored pore filler. The customer had a great deal of input in the design and was one of the most imaginative and adventurous we've had. It's would be hard to strictly nail down a price on this piece, or more accurately, to nail down the price of a similar one. For instance, the customer was insistent about getting some very expensive laminate but only small parts of it were actually needed in the piece. So, a whole 5' X10' sheet needed to be bought and shipped. This inflates the material cost. Also many customer initiated changes were made during the building, requiring time to take out and rebuild various elements.

Deep Eddy West, formerly Deep Eddy Studios, has been designing and fabricating furniture for individuals, design firms, architects and institutions since 1983. In 1994 Deep Eddy West formed a sister company which specializes in reproduction and conservation, Deep Eddy Designs. In this capacity we have, and continue to work extensively with the State Preservation Board reproducing and restoring furniture for the Texas State Capitol.
While we build primarily out of wood we don’t consider ourselves purists and are always on the lookout for new materials and techniques and will use them if we believe they are honest, add value to the piece and fall within the budget. Metal laminates, aluminum, glass beads, linoleum and found objects are among these. The techniques used in these projects involve lamination, steam-bending, carving, turning, chemical staining and of course the standard woodworking skills.
Most of our clients have a specific design in mind when they contact us and this results in a portfolio as varied as our clientele. We collaborate with some of the most talented artisans in the Austin area. We believe that being able to work within a network of trusted, highly skilled artisans is an advantage for our customers.
Deep Eddy provides a range of services, from design work to repair. Often our customers will hire us exclusively for our design ideas, CAD drawings or sometimes only for technical know-how. Call us today for more information about our services, designs and products. It would be our pleasure to work on a customized project for you. More galleries at deepeddy.tk

For Elena's Dining Table5.0We are completely satisfied with Jueri and Mara´s work with our cypress stump. Mara renovated the lost colors and gave maintenance to the stump. Final project is the result of live colors and design that our stump once had. They were very fast workers and knew their job as the artists they are. We are pleased with this project final result. So looking forward to work with them in future projects.

For Andrew's Bookcases (Quantity 2)5.0Jueri did an amazing job with our bookcases. Even before I selected him for the project, he demonstrated amazing thoughtfulness and attention to detail in putting together a proposal and design ideas. His professionalism continued throughout the project, as he sent updates with photos on a regular basis, inspiring confidence and giving us the enjoyment of watching our design come to life. We're thrilled with the finished product -- the bookcases look great, including perfect color matching -- and we would absolutely love to do business with Jueri again.

For Ric's Screen Door5.0Jueri has exceeded my expectations. His attention to detail is exemplary, and his craftmanship is an artistic museum quality. His response with email communication and pictures during progress was quick and proactive. His project completion and delivery over 2,000 miles was ahead of schedule. He followed up after delivery to ensure satisfaction. Jueri is my go to guy for any future wood based craft custom project! Martin

For Amanda's Cabinets5.0After searching for weeks for a bathroom vanity that I liked for my bathroom remodel, I decided to take a shot in the dark and post a project on this CustomMade website that I stumbled across. Luckily for me, Jueri responded to my project request and quickly came up with an awesome design for a custom and very unique bathroom vanity that I loved, based on the pictures I sent of other pieces that I liked. Jueri was a pleasure to work with, extremely responsive to each and every e-mail I sent, and communicated with me throughout the entire process, sending pictures of progress, etc. I ended up with a gorgeous custom vanity for a great value, considering what I could purchase in the way of bathroom vanity's for a similar price. Instead I got a solid wood, unique and custom vanity that perfectly matches my bathroom remodel, that I wouldn't have been able to find anywhere. I am very happy with my purchase and if I ever need a custom piece of furniture again, he is definitely the person I would go to, and will recommend him to any of my friends.

For Drip Coffee Station4.7He was professional and responsive. It wasn't cheap but the quality of the product visually was very high -- it certainly looks expensive. I only wish it was measured a little better/tested so that there wasn't splatter when using a normal sized coffee mug / cup. The burden for better measurement/design could have been on me but I expect when I pay this much that a professional thinks about this in more detail than I would. I have to use "grande/venti" size cups to catch the coffee drip without it splashing -- not the end of the world.
