Our focus on furniture happened many years ago (25+) as a result of some left-over lumber, the need for a bench by the backdoor, and a frugal resourceful nature that told us to give it a try. The bench turned out beautiful (we still use it every day), the experiment turned to a hobby, the hobby to an obsession, the obsession to a journey… We design and build custom furniture on commission. Our shop specializes in made to order custom furniture specifically for individual clients.
The custom bird's eye maple tables are beautiful, and Amy's collaboration on finish was fantastic.
It was a delight working with Amy on a very large desk for my home office. I was looking for a desk that would feel like a built-in once installed but which would have the solid wood character that distinguishes Amy's work. Amy worked with my sketch of my office and designed a 7.5' x 11' L-shaped desk that fit around an awkwardly-placed windowsill, could be easily carried to my second-floor office, and that could be broken down into smaller desks if I moved houses in the future. Amy is highly responsive, really clear, and my desk is beautiful. Shipping was terrific and reflected attention-to-detail that is evident in her furniture. I will be ordering more furniture from her.
This summer I was looking for the side tables to coordinate with existing furniture in my living room. I landed on Glessboard’s page. The pieces displayed exemplified fine craftsmanship and attention to detail. One particular photo showed a pair of walnut end tables. I liked the size and scale but wanted to modify the design a bit. Amy was open to reworking the table to meet my needs, prompt in response to any questions and professional throughout the entire process. The end result is a pair of beautiful walnut end tables that now include a small drawer to house coasters, remote controls or a couple DVD’s. These pieces are well built with fine walnut and extremely solid. I purchased 3/8” beveled glass to protect but still enjoy the tops ensuring they last a lifetime.
My experience working with Amy (Glessboards) was terrific. We had a very slight hiccup with communication at one point, but her professionalism and follow up was reassuring— and the project exceeded my expectations. I plan on using her again for future projects.
I just delivered the chopping board made for my brother-in-law's 50th birthday. The entire family could not get over how beautiful it is. Amy Gless made it all easy for us from the proposed idea to the final project. She sent photos of each step along the way. I made a booklet out of them and included it with the gift. It was a 50th birthday, so we wanted the gift to be special. I could not be happier. I hope to have one made by Amy for myself in the future and highly recommend her work!!!
