Cherry Burl Drop Point Knife

Mark does very good work at a reasonable price and can deliver on time. The piece he did for me looks very nice and I am pretty pleased with it. I can recommend him to others – but I will add one caveat: make sure you are clear upfront with your specifications and communicate frequently during the design and production process. Because in my original RFP I stated (sort of offhandedly I suppose) that I wanted a bar cart that could accommodate standard off-the-shelf wine glass stems (the more economical ones made by Libbey and such, etc.). Unfortunately, that spec was not met due to a communication error. In the grand scheme of things it’s a relatively minor thing and it does not take away from the look of the work, which is pristine. But it would have been a nice-to-have. So the bottom line is: Mark is a very talented craftsman who delivers well-made and elegant pieces but be sure to state your specifications very specifically upfront.

The barrel has been a fantastic amenity to the course and its innovation has added to the rustic appeal of our property! Thank you Mark

My client is satisfied with the final product and accepted delivery. As the designer/architect, however, I found it difficult not to be able to talk with the cabinet maker via telephone. Minor things were missed by using only email, e.g. difficult to approve stain sample via photos, top is narrower than specified etc.
Thank you

First time user of custom made. Mark made it a great experience and delivered an awesome product that was exactly what I was looking for.

Working with Mark was a pleasure. I set out to have something very special made for my fiancé and wanted her memory box to be something she cherishes for the rest of her life. Mark did an incredible job and went above and beyond to make sure that he met my expectations. He put as much passion into this project as I would have if I were capable of marking such a beautiful piece. I highly recommend Mark for any of your projects. He is timely, professional, and charismatic.
