Repurposed Rustic Jewelry Walnut Barn Wood Box

Often 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!

Worked with Terry on another project and this too was a success. I would have liked a bit more consistency on the coloring on the face vs the main tread, but that simply may be difficult/near impossible due to the wood grain.

On the whole though this was a great project - excellent communication - timely and frequent. Final product was delivered a bit later than initially planned but the extension was agreed to before the due date. He was flexible as I had a few minor changes that he incorporated as well. I was provided with a color match sample so I could confirm final color before staining - very helpful. Very pleased with the end result!

Terry built a custom wood box with a slide top lid and delivered it in less than 3 hours. I will definitely recommend him to others and reach out to him for custom wood work again in the future!

I am pleased with the result of the desk surface. It's what I wanted for the most part. I feel I could have described the project better though. The attached photo is the end result. I'm satisfied, and I can reuse the legs for something else later on. Terry seems to be a good craftsman, but I feel due to my budget on this project it was done very quickly, and the quality seems to have suffered as a result. But I would work with him again, and if I did I'd make sure to describe more about what I want.

It was a pleasure working with Terry. He was very responsive, kept me updated on the status of the project and was very accommodating with meeting a tight schedule and getting me the watch display. I would recommend him to anyone that is looking for him to do a project for them. Very pleased.
