I am a 55 year old, that has never tired of playing with wood. An old German man instilled in me the love of creating art with wood while I was a young boy, it has burned in me for the past half century. Everything from custom homes to antique furniture repair and more.
I pride myself in giving a customer more than they expect. My pieces are unique and personal for myself and my customer. I work to make heirloom pieces that will be used for generations. Using the highest quality material available, with no compromises in quality.
I stand behind my work because I love what I do and with that ethic, I have yet to receive a bad review or have a customer that was not pleased with my product.

For Bar stool ProjectWonderful person. Completed our bar stools on time, and even though we have some revisions on the final product he made good on his end. Would definitely use him again if the need arose.

For Wall mounted desk ProjectI was thrilled with Papa Steele's Service and Finished product. I was a bit leery after already having one failed attempt to get the item built with another custom made vendor, but I could not be happier. Thanks Papa Steele!

For samar's Dining TableAwful experience
Ended up with not even a complete table: a base without a top
Use incompetent partners
No ownership-No follow up
Costed me twice what was agreed on
A total nightmare

For AL's swanky pub tablePapa Steele Designs recently worked on a unique and in my opinion very intricate but stylish table for me and he deserves more praise than I can give in this little box. He is extremely good at what he does and I'd say he worked with me at great lengths to make sure I got exactly what I wanted. You won't come across a more genuine, honest, and hard-working guy. Would recommend him without reservation to anybody who wants beautiful and study wood work.
Cynthia Armstrong
For Game / Chess TableFrom the very beginning of the project, Dwayne was a pleasure to work with. He was very understanding of our desires and listened to our input in the design process; his suggestions for improvements were thoughtful and extremely clever. His workmanship is careful and sure. He was always timely in communicating every part of the process.
He created a lovely and timeless piece of furniture that we will treasure for generations.
