This is a custom wardrobe for a man I met at a craft show. It is about seven feet wide and seven feet tall and about 18 inches deep at the deepest. One image is of the design drawing that we collaborated on and the other is of the completed piece before it was installed. I was responsible for the design, building and installation. The client was very happy with the final product and we are talking about doing more work together.

This Maker has consistently demonstrated excellence in craftsmanship and customer service.
I am a custom furniture maker with more than twenty five years of experience making fine furniture. I work in a large workshop located next to my home. I have successfully completed hundreds of custom furniture orders.
I have designed, built, and shipped many large pieces of furniture to customers through CustomMade.com, now Maker Marketplace.com, Etsy and my Shopify store. The furniture has been well received. Customers usually comment on the quality of the piece(s), the materials, and the level of craftsmanship.
The process begins with a message from the potential customer. I follow up with design drawings and a proposal that includes the price, delivery date, and a written description of the furniture with all the special details. I am responsible for all the shipping arrangements.
Thank you for visiting my Maker Marketplace site. I look forward to hearing from you about your custom furniture ideas and how we can collaborate on creating them.

For Dorchester BedI am totally delighted with my Dorchester Bed. David is an extremely talented artisan. The bed exceeds my expectations. I’m over the moon and would recommend him highly to anyone looking for custom furniture.

For Retail Display For Essential Oil BottlesDavid made several great suggestions that improved on my original custom design. This was not for holding vials of essential oils, the vials hold rock samples taken every 10 feet from the surface down to 340 feet while we were drilling our well. The display shows an interesting variation of rock types at different depths. You'd have to be a geologist to really appreciate this display. Looks museum-grade. 5 stars all around!

For Small Tray With HandleI received David's Small Tray with Handle. It's a beautifully designed and crafted small piece. Great wood selection and careful attention to details like a turned handle with two thin lines, slight angle to the sides, brass nail heads, and floating bottom panels. Excellent value. Highly recommend David's craftmanship.

For Large Jewelry Box In Cherry.David was a pleasure to work with and my jewelry box is exactly as ordered. I am very, very pleased. The box was delivered a tad later than expected, but it was due to David's attention to detail and his wanting to ensure that the box was well-made. The first box he built was not up to his standards, so he made a second one rather than shipping what he believed was a substandard one and waiting to see if it would be acceptable to me. It was well worth the wait. Furthermore, David was in contact with me throughout and kept me apprised of how things were progressing and the reason for the delay. The box was arrived well packaged so that this beautiful work of art was protected during shipping. I would do business with David again in a heartbeat. He is a true craftsman!
