Great service
This Maker has consistently demonstrated excellence in craftsmanship and customer service.
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 Sfakiot cross5.0Ralph of Furnishings of Intoxicating Beauty was amazing to work with. He crafted exactly the piece I wanted -- a custom carved cross in a traditional ethnic design. The finished piece is beautiful, elegantly hand carved with a superb finish. Ralph is a professional and a true artist. He took the time to make sure he understood the requirements of the job and offered suggestions that only made the final project better. Thanks again, Ralph!

For Michael's Small carved cross5.0Ralph of Furnishings of Intoxicating Beauty was a pleasure to work with and the project turned out better than I even imagined. He is a true craftsman/artist, and it shows in the quality of his work. Ralph carefully considered the choice of materials and design elements while I planned the project.. and the piece is beautiful! I would without doubt work with him again on any custom wood working project in the future. Just a great experience!! Mike

For Carved Swagger Stick4.8Ralph was very diligent during the whole process, he explained everything to me including why he chose the wood he did and the type font. It was nice to have the information when presenting this gift. Ralph was professional, friendly, communicative and extraordinarily talented.
