I love what I do. I love to create, and each piece I make is a reflection with a part of me in it. I have been a woodworker all of my life, starting in construction and finish work on homes then moving to 18th century Victorian reproduction work for a local company. I love a challenge and strive to make each piece a one of kind treasure that will last for generations.
I also do juried art shows periodically so you never know where you might see me. I have been accepted and displayed work in The Philadelphia Invitational Furniture Show, Paradise City Art Festivals, The Morristown NJ Art and Craft show, Art Rider Productions and American Art Marketing to name a few.
I look forward to working with you.

For Shadow BoxJeffrey does very nice work. The project I requested was to construct a shadow box for my wife's coffee cup/pottery collection. I received the project in time for Christmas. Jeffrey was able to take basic dimension requirements and with the agreed upon artistic liberties he constructed the shadow box. One plus I noted were the interior wood was a smaller dimension than the standard one by making for a much less bulky and svelte shadow box. Final comment: Nice price for the shadow box. I don't understand how he made any money. NICE WORK Jeffrey!

For Hummingbird Keepsake BoxI am completely satisfied with my first project using the CustomMade site. Jeffrey Homan was a pleasure to work with. He helped me design a keepsake box for my grand daughter. He communicates very clearly and I always knew exactly what and when I was getting the project. He even sent me images of the wood he purchased for the project. Jeffrey's workmanship is extraordinary. I have already recommended him and look forward to more projects.

Elizabeth Engerman
For Elizabeth's wall rackJeff made a beautiful coat and shoe rack for our curved wall. Through every step he communicated clearly with patience! Jeff is a master of his craft. He also posseses the rare talent of being able to not only build a beautiful piece but the ability to also design one. Further, he is able to incorporate function and practicality without sacrificing the elegance of design. It is only a truly talented wood crafter that can create a challenging piece and make it look simple and perfect. Thank you!!
Bruce Pearce
For Bruce's Jewelry BoxIt was a real pleasure working with Jeffrey on my project. I had been envisioning jewelry boxes for my granddaughters since I saw their beautiful faces, but knew I didn't have the skills necessary to do it justice. Finding someone with the skills to make my vision come to life, along with the patience to listen to my story was challenging. I tried a few places here in Canada, but no one had the ability to make it work. Jeffrey took my idea and made it exactly as planned. The twin boxes were made perfectly and on budget. Not only that, but ahead of schedule. Jeffrey, you gave me exactly what I asked for. Thank you I will definitely work with Jeffrey on any future projects. Bruce P
Beverly Kay
For Beverly's Table LampSo grateful to Jeff for making this idea of mine come to life! He did an amazing job!
Elizabeth Shin
For estimate for a bookcaseJeff did a wonderful job making a bookcase for us. Jeff is very easy to communicate with - he was responsive, gave good advises, provided very good sketches which gave me a good idea about how bookcase will look like. I think his pricing was very fair and the final product was exactly what we needed and it looks great. I'm very happy with it.
Jesse Madden
For Jesse's Sports & HobbiesI could not be happier with the final product I received. Jeff was a pleasure to do business with and I would personally recommend anyone considering using him to do so., You will not regret it. He took the time to personally deliver and install my custom piece in my home. Even though I live a few states away from him. I have nothing but good things to say about Jeffrey.
Daniel Danrich
For Chess Board Elegant Black Walnut And BirchHoly chess board! What a precision artful, craftily dedicated performance in constructing my project to my specifications.I was wondering what the bottom side was going to look like and Jeff carried his skill even to the bottom of the chess board, not seen with a reinforced walnut x-frame, mitered perfectly with coats of lacquer Who would think the the bottom side would be as excellent as the beautiful seen top side, only Jeff could pulled this off in a world of cutting corners and not caring. I am so happy with his work, don't hesitate to have him do a artful, craftily made project that you can pass on to your family for decades of enjoyment!

Paul Barker
For Paul's Pantheon Scale ModelI could not have been more please with the project results, the engagement I had with Jeff and the progress updates he provided me. This was a challenging assignment and one that I had some degree of concern as to whether it could be done well. Jeff eliminated those concerns and crafted a solution that was beyond my expectations. I have an enviable piece of art that I marvel at everyday. I would completely and enthusiastically recommend Jeff to anyone. His skill, professionalism and dedication to his craft as well as his desire to meet the client's needs were fantastic. Thanks again Jeff and Custom Made.
Jackson Noel

Elliott Leavitt
For Large and small custom made jewelry boxes, specialty wood, precious metal inlayI want to take a moment to thank Jeffery Homan at Wood-N-Reflections for the superb craftsmanship on a hand made custom jewelry box for my best customer. Jeff communicated with me through the whole project and was a real pleasure to work with. If you need any wood work or custom jobs, Use Jeff. He truly is a master wood craftsman. Thanks again Jeff for such a wonderful job.
Laura Courtney
For Keepsake Box For The Beloved PetI purchased a picture frame/shelving unit to give to my twin sister for her wedding and couldn't be happier with the finished piece! It is one of a kind...just like she is! I am certain that Jeffrey at Wood-N-Reflections is a perfectionist as the piece came out just that...perfect!!! :)
Daniel
For Glass and Wood Display CaseI commissioned Jeff to create a display case to house a model boat created by an artisan that is very dear to me. My original project was a very simple one - a glass case trimmed by wood. But, with Jeff's expert hand and eye for design, we were able to collaborate and create something more unique. The final product - a beautiful mohagony case featuring brass hardware, a sliding drawer, and well-designed mirror backing that allowed for easy access - is truly outstanding and is a constant source of conversation for any visitor to my home. Jeff's care and precision were not limited to the construction of the case. He also made sure to take every precaution to make sure it arrived in one piece, including building a custom wooden crate and foam padding cut to size. It was a great experience all around. I recommend Jeff without qualification. Indeed, I am trying to come up with new projects to work with him again!
Claudia
For Cufflink caseAbsolutely amazing. From the first message to delivery, Jeffery was a true professional. His work is stunning and he provided me a piece I would never be able to find. My husband absolutely loved his gift. I hope it will be a piece that gets passed down for many, many years! Thank you.
Michael Burke
For Disply Case - Six Hockey PucksI wish every transaction I was involved in went like this one. The craftsman, Jeffrey Homan, took the time to understand what I wanted, offered some advice on how to make it better and produced a high quality, beautifully looking product that will be treasured for years to come. You cannot buy this uniqueness or quality at a store. The communications were excellent. The price agreed upon was the price agreed upon and it was done when it was stated it would be done. It was shipped in a manner that a piece of that quality should be shipped. Again, I could not be more happy with the product and the transaction in general.

For I really like your shadow box shelf.Mr. Homan was one of the best business men I have every worked with. Very polite and worked well with me on my situation. I would recommend Mr. Homan to anyone.

For Screen insert for porch/wood doorJeff did a great job on my screen-door replacement. I thought it would be originally easy as I had another screen as a template. Once Jeff came to the house, he noticed that the new screen was a different size. He said no problem. Jeff also repaired very nicely other parts to the doors. Last, I am currently renovating my kitchen and Jeff gave me some excellent advice.

For jewelry boxVery very happy with my jewelry box, excellent value for this high quality project. Superb craftsmanship.
Rebecca Rivera
For Home office mid-century inspired shelvingJeff was the perfect fit for this project. He totally "got" what I was trying to do. He helped me refine the design, recommended just the right type of wood, finish, and installation approach. He kept me informed throughout the build and delivered on time. All in all, a great experience!
