This is an image of a traditional pencil post bed, queen size, made from cherry, for a client in Dorchester Mass. There is an identical one, for sale, in my shop.

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 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 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 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 Cherry Jewelry BoxThe craftsmanship is a work of art and everything I had hoped for in this one of a kind event. For me, the custom jewelry box was for my wife’s 60th birthday, so my expectations were very high with no latitude for delays. David did not disappoint in any way and his communication throughout the project was deeply appreciated.
I would highly recommend the amazing talent and professionalism he provides.
