Wormy Chestnut Hall Tree

we are pleased with the finished product. we had to send it back after the drawers didn't open properly and then the handles came off. I believe the maker rushed the job at the end to ship it. I would consider working with the maker again, but not on something as complicated as the jewelry box

Absolutely excellent workmanship. Bruce was great to work with and was very conscientious about the details of exactly what I wanted in the final design. Would gladly work with him again.

Bruce did and absolutely beautiful job on our custom jewelry box. We bought a box that was 7" wider than his typical box made from walnut and could not be happier. Everything from the initial order to the arrival went very very well. Timing was as expected. It is custom so it takes the few months that was agreed, no issues there. If you want something made from wood I would definitely recommend Bruce. Communication was great, he is very flexible, even the way it was shipped demonstrated his attention to detail. You can't go wrong with Rat's Wood Creations.

I ordered a 6 drawer jewelry box, cherry wood and brass knobs. This is my first time ever ordering something like this. Bruce was great to work with, he had the project completed and shipped to me on time. The jewelry box itself is beautiful. Solid wood, fantastic. This exceeded my expectations. A great size and my wife loved it. Her make inside was and added surprise that she loved. The craftsmanship of the jewelry box is wonderful to see. So tired of cheap press board that falls apart. It is expensive but I’ve searched the internet and found a handmade jewelry that according to the reviews were not perfect. You will not be disappointed. When I talked to him on the phone he was very professional. Thank you Bruce.

The jewelry box is exactly as promised, with beautiful workmanship. It was delivered in time for Christmas, and my wife loved it. The box was shipped with excellent packaging and was delivered with no nicks or bumps. One star off Communication because the advertised price wasn't the actual price.

We ordered this as a graduation gift for our granddaughter. She is away at college and will not open it until Thanksgiving. The experience I had working with Bruce was wonderful. I can't say enough about the experience from the beginning to the end. I will definitely be sending more people your way. Thank you so much for such a beautiful piece that she will treasure for always...

Product turned out beautifully and exactly as described. Workmanship, detail, and fit & finish where flawless. Would absolutely buy again and would recommend Bruce as strongly as possible.

Bruce is a superb craftsman. His work far surpassed my expectations. He's also an excellent communicator and easy to work with. What more could you ask?

Amazing product! The jewelry chest is absolutely beautiful and very well built - my wife loves it! Bruce communicates early and often, and was very responsive and reasonable - a pleasure to work with! Great product and service all around - highly recommended!

Bruce is an very gifted woodworker. He replaced the legs on a vintage chair. This entailed carefully loosening the upholstery & then putting it all back. I couldn't even tell that it had been loosened! And the wood that he used for the legs is beautiful Thanks, Bruce!!

This was a very special project for me, to say the least. Bruce was helpful, and focused on what I wanted, so that I was pleased with the outcome. He is very skilled in his craft. His talent combined with a work ethic and listening ear, means you will be more than satisfied with your project in his hands. He comes highly recommended by me.

Bruce created a piece that my wife loves. He was incredibly prompt with all communication, fair with his pricing, worked with me on a quick deadline and made finding a perfect birthday present as easy as possible.

I just received my custom jewelry box from Bruce and it came out beautiful! The craftsmanship is outstanding. He was professional throughout the process, and sent me pictures along the way. Thank you Bruce!

I had a custom jewelry box made for my wife birthday, she absolutely adores it! I could not be happier with the Jewelry box, it is exactly what I had in mind. Rats Wood Creation was amazing to work with, incredible craftsmanship and attention to detail. This box is a timeless piece and is a true family heirloom, it will be in our family for many many years to come, truly build to last. Thanks!

Bruce was very helpful in getting us from an artistic concept to a finished product. We appreciated his good communication and quality work.

Bruce gave the product exactly as it was described exactly when he said. I couldn’t be more happy with the final product .

I am completely satisfied with this project. The workmanship is excellent, the project was finished a couple of days ahead of schedule and it was very well packed for shipping. Throughout the project, Mr. Ratliff communicated in a clear and timely fashion, with pictures as appropriate. I would absolutely go to Mr. Ratliff for another project.

Bruce was great to work with! I sent him a letter I wanted engraved and a border design. He was able to combine both and turn it in to a beautiful business case! The wood is quality and the business case is solid- I don't worry that it will fall apart any time soon! If you are looking for a custom engraving, Bruce can work with you get you what you want, and in a timely fashion, for a good price! :)

I am very happy with the jewelry box that Bruce made for us. I think that the value is just right. I think that Bruce is a great way to try out custom made. This was my first experience and it was a good one. He made sure that I got what I wanted with lots of samples. The package arrived with in the exact day I asked. Thanks again Bruce.

I was extremely happy with Bruce, from a price, communication and quality standpoint. His work is top-notch, and I could not be more thrilled with the end result. Furthermore, his communication was very good. When he was to be delayed on the delivery time, he communicated with me early, and I was very happy with that effort. Finally, his price was very reasonable, especially considering the fit and finish. I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone.

The Jewelry box was a true heirloom gift for my mother that she loves! Bruce was a great communicator and easy to deal with - he went above and beyond with his service. I would definitely consider Bruce for future projects and recommend him to others.

Bruce was fantastic, he got back to me very quickly and the final product is exactly what we discussed. Don't look any farther, this is the craftsman you are looking for.

Bruce was awesome to work with. The final product is even better than we expected. It was sent timely and turned out perfect. Would highly highly recommend!

I had a great experience working with Bruce. The Murphy Bed that he made is right in line with the specifications I gave, was delivered on-time, and he even helped me attach it to the wall. He sent pictures with the updates, and had great ideas to make the project even better than I had imagined, including using great finishing techniques, hardware and design improvements, and cherry rather than pine, due to intelligent sourcing. It's difficult to imagine a project going better, and I would highly recommend Bruce for other creations.
