Meet the Maker
ralph mitchell
furnishings of intoxicating beauty
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.

Feb 9, 2018I am extremely happy with my custom wand. The craftsmanship is top notch. Ralph took my design and put his own little twist on it, the result was a high quality work of art. Communication was also very pleasant and precise; Ralph and I managed to find a common ground which helped him create exactly the type of sculpture that fits my taste. I am also extremely happy with the price to quality ratio this maker offers. Recommendation.

Jul 22, 2016Today (22JUL2016) was the day I requested the product (walking cane) to be available for my Commander to deliver to a retiring Solider after 28 years of service. The product was completed and shipped danger close to the ceremony time (1400 22JUL2016). I prefer more breathing room. The product (which was top notch in quality and expectations) arrived today at 10am. Any problems with shipping or any delays what so ever (an hour, a day) would have ruined my guy's retirement ceremony, gotten myself one way conversations from my Command that I would preferably not want. In the future, I recommend products are shipped a week prior to the days they are requested. I'm not saying it didn't work out, but that's not the way I operate.

Jun 14, 2014I worked with Ralph on creating 2 sculptures. He provided frequent updates and was consistent with any questions that he had regarding my preferences with the pieces. The finished product was absolutely beautiful, completed on time and packed so that it arrived in one piece! I was proud to display the sculptures at my organization's event. I'm positive that I made the correct decision in selecting Ralph for my project. Ralph proved to be a true artist. His professionalism, creativity, expertise and talent were greatly appreciated. I will definitely contact him again when I need some additional sculptures created.
