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!

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.
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.
Very happy with final product, which was an admittedly difficult and unusual project made up of parts that would not typically be put together. Mark managed to get it all to work in a robust way, exactly as asked. Thanks!
