For Wooden sailing tillerSteve did great work and produced exactly what I needed. Very careful in his measurements and discussion with me about desired enhancements to produce a beautiful, quality hand-made wooden tiller for my vintage sailboat.

For Portable Display Case Stand For Flea MarketI love my vending stand! It is exactly what I wanted and I could not be happier with the end result. Steve Branam is a Master Carpenter with absolutely superior wood working skills and a great personality. He created my stand with just hand tools and I am totally amazed and delighted with the high quality of craftsmanship and talent that has gone into this piece of furniture. I will sing his praises forever (or for at least as long as I am asked about who made this awesome vending stand). He absolutely knows his stuff and you should plan your future woodworking projects with him if you want the best results and a wonderful experience to boot.
