    For Barrel retirement chest/shadow box

    Working with Mark has been a great experience. He was able to see the vision that I had for my retirement chest and asked the questions needed to make sure this one-of-a-kind piece was exactly what I was looking for.

    Now that the barrel has been delivered, I must say the pictures don't do it justice. The piece is massive and the attention to detail is amazing.

    I highly recommend Mark for any of your woodworking needs!

    This was my first time with custom made and I really enjoyed the experience. I was really happy with my builder and the final product was outstanding. This service is such a cool thing I randomly found on the internet. Thank you very much.

    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.

    Mark was great! He was very communicative--lots of pictures and dialogue to explain the evolution of the project. The final product is beautiful, and I can't wait to give it to my husband.
