This is a cane we made to celebrate my Dad's 80th birthday. It is made of white oak with a walnut handle, and has the names of his children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren spiraling around the cane. The handle is securely socketed to the cane so that he will always know he is firmly supported by those who love him.

For China cabinet ProjectWe ordered a cabinet from D&S for our dining room. We were very specific with the measurements and style as it had to match our buffet, table and chairs. We were thrilled with the finished product! It far exceeded our expectations. Throughout the process the communication and professionalism were exceptional. We would definitely order from D&S again, they're amazing!

For Stephanie's Reception DeskI highly recommend D&S Artistic Woodworking! We hired Steve to make a custom reception desk for a commercial office space. Steve was a pleasure to work with throughout the design process. He was very responsive and worked back and forth with our team to achieve our desired outcome. He also offered very helpful suggestions and design solutions to ensure that we reached our ideal end result. The reception desk is beautiful and our clients are thrilled! We look forward to working with him again on future projects!

For Small wooden oval dining table ProjectWe cannot say enough good things about D&S Artistic Woodworking. Steve took our ideas and worked with us to produce a truly beautiful table that fits well into our house. the process was very pleasant and enjoyable.

James Smith
For Fathers saying piece of cherry with inscription ProjectEverything was perfect start to finish. Will work with the him anytime.
John Kim
For Box bench with top opening lid ProjectMy first interaction with Steve was pleasant. He immediately sent over a CAD according to my specifications and photos, which allowed us to have a solid talking starting point in our conversation. For each iteration, Steve promptly sent over more renderings and really allowed me to customize the banquette to my liking. He really knows his material and craft (which is good because I had no idea) and the final product was truly amazing. He finished the project in about two weeks, much earlier than I expected. Thanks Steve, my banquette goes perfectly in my new room!
Eric Tosti
For Baccarat (Game) Board ProjectThis was my first experience with Custom Made, and I totally underestimated the quality I would be getting for this project. D&S Artistic Woodworking, not only exceeded my expectations with the quality of the piece, but they were completely professional and kept me informed about each phase of creation, which included photo updates. This was truly an amazing process, to have an idea, post it online, have professionals come to you, and then knock it out of the park the way the guys at D&S Artistic Woodworking did. Both pictures and words could not possibly do this end result justice. Only to hold this creation in your hands, is to understand the value and beauty it exudes, and the level of expertise it took to create it. The unparalleled quality and craftsmanship you can expect from this company is second to none. I am so unbelievably satisfied, not only with this project itself, but also my choice in accepting the offer from D&S Artistic Woodworking. Choosing them was the best thing I could have done for my idea to be created into an heirloom quality piece at a reasonable price. Thank you so much, guys. You made a loyal customer out of me, and I look forward to future projects down the road.
Heather Hawley
For Table ProjectI am very happy with the finished project. I was also very happy with the overall experience of working with Steven and Drew. They were professional, asked important questions, gave their own input and really listened to what I wanted as well as doing their own research to make sure we were all on the same page. The table came out exactly as I hoped it would. We are already considering using D&S Artistic Woodworking for another project that is how happy we are with their work. I can easily recommend others to enlist their expertise.
Elijah Ditter

For Custom Radiator CoversMy experience with Steven Godding was absolutely perfect. He offered excellent alternative designs for my project, a 14 foot long baseboard heater cover. I then selected one of the designs and found, upon delivery, the cover was even more attractive than I had expected. He installed the cover and left my apartment with absolutely no mess. He is a wonderful man with whom to do business and I recommend him without a single qualification.
