Working alone, I state working alone because nearly everything that I design and make are works of art made by me alone and signed by me for 20+ years, Ralph produces furnishings and signs rebelling against "mechanical mediocrity" refusing to work within the limitations imposed by machines and produce objets d'art which can only be accomplished with many hours/days/weeks/months of hand tooling.
To summarize, I am an artisan, not merely a furniture maker. Thank you for your interest in my fascination.

For Cody's StatueI loved the final product although damaged in shipping was not fault of ralph. I quickly fixed it and loved the final product. He has amazing communication and paid very close attention to detail. Wasn't done in the allotted time but by no means is he to blame. He didnt wanna rush things and I have the upmost respect for that. He took a little longer but the quality of work and detail was worth the extra few weeks. I would recommend him to anyone. Amazing work!
Thomas Taylor
For Thomas' SignRalph did a superb job with my Star Wars-inspired, carved house sign. He nailed the brief and completed the work ahead of his estimated time schedule. I'm so happy with it and couldn't recommend Ralph more highly - he was a pleasure to work with!
