One of the hardest things is to pick just the right wood for the project--this one was no exception-Tiger Maple. I think I nailed it right on the head. These humidors are just beautiful. I integrated the viewing area into the lid as asked. You can also see that the tray was custom made for the interior and put together with dowels just like the lid. This makes for a sturdy piece and a great visual effect. The spanish cedar is through out and the interior tray supports remove for easy cleaning. You will be happy to own one custom built just for you. Cigar count is 50+ on this desk top model.

For Rachel's NightstandTerry was great to work with and has been helpful to get the project accomplished within the agreed upon timeframe and has provided good quality construction.

For Sheldon's StaircaseWorked 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!

For Heart-Shaped Wooden Ring BoxTerry Stone went way out of his way, above & beyond the call of duty to see that I was completely satisfied. The ring box is very very lovely & will make a perfect gift for my granddaughter's wedding.

For Wood Keepsake boxMy experience with this project was was fantastic! I would recommend working with Good Shepard Woodworking to anyone. I had as much input as I needed, yet he is creative and was able to provide great suggestions and work through any issues that came up. If anyone was lacking in communication, it was me. From the Timeline to the professionalism and input and ideas to the overall value of the final project, everyone was wonderful!
If I could change anything, it would be the shipping. Shipping via the Post Office instead of FedEx to Chicago is always rough. I don't blame Good Shepard for this, the U.S. Postal Service in Chicago is just slow.
Overall, a fantastic experience and I can't wait to have a new project to work on!
