J.S.Gowdy Designs are hand crafted in Vermont using only the finest materials. Each design is unique so you can be assured of never having two exactly the same as you proudly display and use it. J "Scott" Gowdy carefully chooses the materials and allows the wood type and grain to guide his designs. This is a one of a kind hand turned & dyed maple Bowl. The entire piece is turned out of one piece of wood but with careful turning I made the illusion of having a different bowl inside. Truly a unique piece. Size: 10" X 2" HIGH

For Cutting board for RVThis was a totally enjoyable project. Scott was so easy to work with. He made the most beautiful cutting board, custom sized for my RV. We are leaving for a vacation soon and Scott was very helpful in making sure we had what we needed before we left. The board came quickly and very well packaged. We just put it in the RV tonight while we were packing and it looks beautiful. I know we will get many years of enjoyment from this beautiful, handcrafted treasure!

For Live edge, natural wooden bench with wood legs too ProjectScott was wonderful to work with. He kept me informed every step of the way with messages and pictures of the progress asking for my input to make sure I got exactly what I wanted. He did an awesome job, the bench came out better then I could have ever imagined. I highly recommend working with him!

For Eco-Friendly Bamboo, Cherry And Walnut Large Cutting BoardScott made a gorgeous custom cutting board to fit into a space provided for it in a custom countertop. My local cabinetmaker finished the edges for a perfect fit.
Working with Scott was an absolute pleasure. He was in constant communication with me, providing drawings and photos. I chose the wood species from his stock and he altered the design to fit the style of my kitchen. The process was professional and thorough. I couldn't be happier with the results.
The only problem was that the Postal Service damaged a corner in shipment. They would do nothing about it because I hadn't purchase insurance. My local cabinetmaker was able to sand down that edge so the damage does not show in the final product. My recommendation is to use UPS or FEDEX or purchase insurance if the Postal Service is used for shipment.
