Shepard's Crook Walking Stick

Both the experience and the result of working with Mr Demers were exactly what I hoped for. The cane he made for me follows the model of one or two he has previously made, but the woods are quite different; he and I worked together to choose them, with my indicating the effect I wanted and suggesting some woods that might achieve it, and his employing his expertise and aesthetic sense to give me further practical options. He was scrupulous about consulting me and explaining why, given the specific pieces of wood at his disposal, our original plans had best be altered. The cane that I saw, first in photographs he sent and then in its actual glory, fits my desires to a T. It's lovely to look at, comfortable to hold and walk with, and dressy to the exact degree that I wished it to be. It was also remarkably reasonable in price. Would I work with Mr Demers again? Absolutely. I only wish I had an appropriate project in mind right now, so that I could do so at once. Let me add to this enthusiastic recommendation that it's free of any personal bias: I did not know Mr Demers, other than by images posted on custommade, nor do I know him outside the context of this project. I also don't know anyone else for whom he has worked or is working.

I love my wand!! I wanted a relatively simple wand and I let Rafe decide on most of the details. He created a wand with beautiful subtle detailing packaged lovely in a handmade wooden box. I will cherish forever.

completed first stage of the project, a set of custom bloodwood Kali-Eskrima sticks. They turned out wonderful and beautiful. Was completed in a timely fashion and all aspects were completed in a very professional manor. Cannot wait to get second half of the project complete!

He always responded to my messages in a timely manner, did a fantastic job on the wand and box, and provided pictures to show me how things were going.

Bought as a gift. Nice wand for a Harry Potter fan. Even better was the display box. Excellent quality and presentation.
