Great service
This Maker has consistently demonstrated excellence in craftsmanship and customer service.
I have been living in the Pacific Northwest since 1991 and currently work in Portland, Oregon. Portland is a fast growing hub of creative energy and inspired Makers. I am one. For me, it has always been about line, shape, function and lets not forget . . . wood. I am awed by it's unique nature and delighted that I get the opportunity to work with it everyday. Each board and every species has it's own unique characteristics. A wild example is the Huon Pine from Tasmania. It is the oldest living tree on the planet at 10, 500 years. They start to reproduce 600 to 800 years of age. That helps put some perspective in the realm of us and them!
The intention behind my work is to highlight the qualities of each piece of wood I handle, to give it a new life, and to help us appreciate and see it for what it is. I am often given the great pleasure to make gifts for anniversaries, birthdays, holidays and just something sweet. What a special honor it is to be the maker of a gift! I get the sweet view of seeing a person love another. Isn't that what it's all about?
My background in both fine art and the construction industry has given me an unusual approach to woodworking and furniture making. I am an artist who makes usable, beautiful objects with wood that I hope will say something about us.
I have a BFA from Cooper Union in NYC, NY and was a contractor for over 15 years designing and remodeling homes in New York City, Philadelphia, New Jersey, and Eugene, Oregon. While studying fine art and learning how to carve wood I also studied woodworking and cabinetry. Later I worked for a couple of architectural woodworking shops in Oregon where I learned in a commercial environment making one off custom work.
I make furniture, woodwork , sculpture, laptop stands, specialty boxes, jewelry and probably something else by the time you read this. I love to design and build my own work as well as contract commissions for clients. My passion lies in discovery and invention and the challenge to make something useful in the most beautiful way possible.
I hope you enjoy!

For Those custom dice!4.7I waited a long time for these, but in the end, she made it very much worth it. Stuff happened in her life, and she communicated well, and when I finally got the pieces, they were BEAUTIFUL, just what I imagined. I highly recommend her for fantastic work. And your wait won't be mine, for multiple reasons.

For Jewelry Box4.5Hello: My time of leaving a review is finishing and I would like to tell my experience about the purchase of the jewelry box. After having many problems to understand each other, trying to explain what I wanted and she trying to understand my ideas, finally she was able to describe in the budget just what I wanted. This is the budget, these three points describe how was going to be the box 1) This box will have a hinged lid, will be made entirely of Goncalo Alves and there will be a beautiful carved abstract medallion centered in the top of the lid. 2) The corners of the box will have a rounded radius, 3) The interior will have two identical removable trays with grids measuring 1 5/8" square by 1" high, lined with velvet. Trays will be made from Goncalo Alves with African Blackwood accents. Well, when I received the box I could verify the bottom of the box was made with tongue and groove aromatic cedar wood, according her information, when the second tray is removed, the bottom of the box looks really bad. This bottom should have been made of Gonzalo Alves wood according the budget. Referent to the trays, these were made using cherry wood instead Gonzalo Alves and she didn’t make the African Blackwood accents, for me this fact was very important and she didn’t line the bottom of the trays with velvet. It is not advisable making changes without having the customer’s approval. So, I have a box that I disappointed with it. I have been talking to her and I am waiting a solution. Best regards Antonio

The quality and craftsmanship are impeccable and I have received numerous inquiries from people seeing me use it on how to get one.

For Wood Wallet And Business Card Holder4.3The wooden wallet is stunningly beautiful. It shows a level of expertise and attention to detail not often found even in very high-end products. The fit and finish make holding and using the wallet very pleasing. This is an heirloom piece I will cherish. Although completion of it took longer than expected, this item is well worth the wait!

For Playing Card Case To Hold 67 Cards!5.0I ordered a custom sized box to fit a deck of 63 cards, and what I got blew away my expectations. The box fit the deck perfectly, and was gorgeously finished, with perfectly placed logo engraved, tight inlays, and clear craftsmanship. I placed the order and was in no real hurry, but due to unforeseen circumstances, it was a slow turn around. So I was offered a second box free! It was also absolutely gorgeous and well made. Throughout, communication was timely, addressed my concerns and questions clearly, and overall friendly and approachable. This artist is highly recommended, for her integrity as well as her craftsmanship.

For Music box5.0I asked Jacquelyn to make a music box as an anniversary gift for my wife. I provided a detailed list of construction requirements and a sketch of the top inlay...you could say I was a bit needy :). She gladly turned that list and sketch into a beautiful heirloom that is as pleasing to the eye as it is to the ear. The box exceeded my expectations. Jacquelyn was a pleasure to work with from start to finish. My wife absolutely loved the music box!

For Laptop Stand5.0I was looking for a gift for a member of our physician group who is retiring. Besides surgery, we shared an appreciation for computers. I scoured the internet for a classy well made laptop stand. Most are very modern in design, which was not what I was looking for. Jacquelyn Smith had a design that was perfect. She made the process very easy and was right on the money as far as total price and time of delivery. Most of the gifts for this surgeon were something he could have bought himself. I'm not saying there wasn't much thought in the gift, but my gift was the only unique one, and I believe he appreciated that more than any of the other gifts. Had the stand in my lap as I waited my turn to say a few words and present him with the gift. As I waited, it gave me a chance to really "feel" the stand. The design and finish were impeccable. It was a gift I was proud to give, and (given the chance), I will use your company again. Congratulations. Well done.
