For 4" X 4" Cherry Box With EngravingWe have worked with George on reorders of a particular project. The client has made modifications along the way and George has been extremely flexible with the new requests. George is great to work with...we appreciate his work ethics and dedication to his work. We'd highly suggest working with him! Amy Bladow

For Maple And Walnut Jewelry BoxThe jewelry box is a wonderful design and, overall, the workmanship was precise. I would have given it five stars except for a couple of issues: two of the three drawers were difficult to open, the top one was almost impossible to move. My husband, who is quite handy, was able to fix them but, considering the cost of this jewelry box, he should not have had to do that. Also, one corner of the lid was damaged. Sure, the damage was minimal but it was clear that the lid had been banged against something after it was finished but before shipping, as the shipping box was showed no damage and the box was well-packed in bubble wrap. I sent a note to the artist but had no response, which is disappointing. Again, considering what we paid for it, an acknowledgement - at the very least - would have been nice.

For Jewelry Box ArmoireMy custom made armoire is better than anything I could have ever found pre-made online. George was very patient and experienced as he guided me through my first time purchasing custom made furniture. I recommend this artist a thousand times over. I am proud to look at my pieces and think of the artist who created it. I'm sure my grandchildren will love it one day.

For Walnut Dart BoardI just received a beautifully crafted Walnut/Hickory Dart Board. It took a little longer than just purchasing something off the shelf, but the small wait was worth it. The craftsmanship is excellent. It will be a wonderful addition to our home. Thank you!!

For Boxes ProjectThe simple but elegant well made walnut box lined to house an antique family mirror for my daughter's graduation is perfect and came in before deadline. The maker kept in touch regularly and answered questions promptly. It was a terrific way to get the project done.

For Gun CabinetThis project went exceedingly well. George communicated his progress regularly, with plenty of pictures. George actually finished ahead of schedule, although I was not able to drive up to pick the item up until the week following. The cabinet is beautiful, at a great price. I could not be more pleased with the project. Thanks George! Take care, Jim
Richard
For Walnut Dart Board CabinetVery pleased with the cabinet. This was custom sized for my specific application and George was very easy to work with. He provided CAD drawings, including a few iterations to finalize, to confirm exact dimensions. Finished cabinet was of excellent quality and craftsmanship. Communications throughout the project were outstanding.

For jewelry boxI could not be happier with the way George Lawton worked with me to realize my idea for this jewelry box that I will give to my wife on our wedding day. George's ability to translate my rough sketch and phone description of what I was looking for into this beautiful and ingenious work of art is much better than my highest hopes. He first sent me a very clear and professional drawing for my approval, then gave me a price that was lower than I was expecting. He sent photos halfway through the construction to give me an idea what it would look like, and finished the box well ahead of schedule. It arrived yesterday, and I could not be more pleased. I can't wait to give it to Michelle, and I look forward to seeing it full of her jewelry deep into our old age. I would highly recommend George Lawton of Mountaintop Woodcrafts for any custom woodworking project. Thank you George!
Mike
For Jewelry BoxWe couldn't be more pleased with the gorgeous, oversized jewelry box George created with burled maple and black walnut. He was a pleasure to work with and kept me up to date on this Christmas gift. My wife loves the piece he crafted. It arrived ahead of schedule, and well packaged. I would not hesitate to have George create other projects in the future.

For Jewelry BoxI had a custom jewelry box made for my pens, sunglasses and cufflinks. I have searched for several years for a box similar to what they created for me with no luck. It turned out exactly the way I wanted. I would highly recommend George for any project you have. Top notch work, communication and ability to tweak the project to my specs.
