Nicholas Lane
For Nicholas' Cutting BoardI had a wood burned cheese/cutting board made for my fiancé with our dogs on them who are her life. Excellent product and was in constant communication. I live in New York and they are in California and from start to finish was less then a week. I would HIGHLY reccomend these people and will be purchasing more from them upon the return from my honeymoon!!

For Jewelry BoxIt was a great pleasure doing business with Ardent Dreams. Larry and Sharon are masters at creating handsome wooden works of art. They communicate regularly throughout the project and send photos of the work of art as they make progress on it. It would highly recommend Ardent Dreams to other individuals who might like a handsome wooden work of art.
Robert Smith
For MantelI have not seen the final product but the pictures look wonderful. It will be shipped within 24 hours. The project took a little longer than anticipated but communication during the period of construction was excellent. Pictures were sent, valid reasons for delays were described (illness, surgery, extra drying of the wood, etc) and the entire process was very professional. I would certainly contact this artisan again if a need arises.

For Custom Cutting BoardsI ordered a medium sized cutting board and it turned out great. The communication went well and I was able to pick the wood, thickness, size and approved the sketch of the design.
