This insert is designed to fit over the fireplace, under the shelf in a custom-built fireplace mantle. It is made of fir, carved, glazed with a brown glaze and lacquered. The carving features a wolf howling at the moon. The insert is 48" long by 6.75" wide by 1.25" thick. This would fit into a country-themed, or log-cabin type decor. The mantle is custom designed and the elements can all be changed, including the animals and scenery. We can also do this in a variety of woods. In addition to fir, it could be done in redwood, walnut, maple, hickory, pine, aspen, or other woods. We would recommend against oak as the strong grain of the oak tends to overpower the carving.

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 Small wooden oval dining table ProjectWe cannot say enough good things about D&S Artistic Woodworking.

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.

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.

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.

For inlayed cuttingboardMy experience working with Steven, and custom made was wonderful. I was looking for a gift for my brothers wedding and wanted to give him a butcherblock with an inlay of the image of the lake we grew up on. unfortunately I had the idea a mere 2 weeks prior to the wedding. I was ready to give up hope when I stumbled upon custom made, I wrote a brief description of what I was looking for and within 24 hours was talking to several carpenters. not only was Stevens bid the most reasonable he was the only one whom could complete my project in the timetable given. we spoke of different wood species and patterns and he was very receptive to what I was looking for. he did not try to steer me in the direction he wanted to go. I really felt as if I had a hand in making the block myself. as for the completed product, I couldn't be happier with it. the inlay is seamless and believe it or not it arrived several days before the two week window that was out of the question for other carpenters. I would most certainly work with Steven again as well as recommend him to anyone looking for quality work at a reasonable price and a speedy turnaround.
