Antique Repair

$300

This item was brought to me in a box. It was rotten and had been ravaged by termites and years in the basement. It plank and legs had to be refabricated, the bobbin post had to have the end that mounts to the plank replaced. After many hours on the lathe and a lot of research the spinning wheel was returned to the owner a working wheel.

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.

    I 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!

    I'm not sure if I can fully explain how happy my wife and I are with the Dining Room Chairs that Papa Steele made for us. They are absolutely , beautiful. True heirlooms that my family will enjoy for years to come. I feel sorry for my children because I know the will be debating who will inherit them. Little do they know my wife and I are going to stay around a lot longer than they ever expected, just so we can continue to enjoy them. Thank you so very much, they are just what we wanted.

    Awful 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

    Papa 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.

    Working with Papa was fantastic. We're so happy with the cabinet. It's exactly what we wanted -- it looks beautiful, the craftsmanship is great and it was a fair price for this beautiful piece. Overall a great experience with Papa and with Custom Made. We'd absolutely recommend Papa to friends and family, and we'd use Custom Made again for other projects.
