Wooden Chest In Hickory And Indonesian Bubinga “Small Bit Of The Good Life”
This lovely wooden chest is truly a work of art. It is small but has so much character! I used hickory and Indonesian bubinga to create a beautiful contrast of light and dark hues. I added a slight arch to the top and bottom parts of the box to enhance its simple design. The entire piece is sanded and given an orange oil finish. I also gave it a thin coat of Minwax for added shine. The lid is attached to the body through metal hinges. This chest measures 4 ¾" x 4 ½" x 4 ¾".

For Shawn's Bathroom closet/storage area4.5Terry was excellent to work with. He kept the cost low and provided exceptional quality. The only problems came from a miscommunication in measurements from me and Terry was willing to take care of the problem without any hesitation. I did not know Terry before using CustomMade and I would not hesitate to use him again. Quality experience all the way through.
Cons for CustomMade:
Shipping was relatively low for the size and weight, but it was more than I thought it would be. I would just caution in general if you are using CustomMade and having a unit shipped cross country like I did, make sure you estimate the cost of shipping ahead of time. And get the measurements perfect the first time! - D

For Boxes for my telescope and its base.4.7Often my projects and ideas are met with skepticism or high prices. Terry is one of those rare contractors that was just as excited about my project as I was and I am truly grateful for just that alone. He got me a treasure chest that was as rustic as we could make it without ruining the quality of it, and it has triple the functionality as a desk, shelving unit and trunk. Where we struggled a bit was with the letter box for the base of the telesope. When we finally got to a compromise on it, he decided at the last minute to stain that beautifully bright cheery wood to a darker color that I didn't really care for. Now I will have to sand that back off and redo the letters. But his heart was in a good place, so all is well for me. I got what I paid for with Terry. Thank you so much for your enthusiasm and patience!

For Bookcases5.0Terry did a great job! I had a very specific size that I needed an entertainment bookcase to fit into and it fit perfectly. Definitely recommend Terry and will use him again if I need something custom-made.
