Great service
This Maker has consistently demonstrated excellence in craftsmanship and customer service.
I've been making custom furniture, cabinets, and small woodworking projects for the past 20 years. I've made small projects such as cutting boards, chess boards, jewelry boxes, and humidors as well as entertainment centers, desks, bookcases, and dining room tables. I prefer to design my own projects after finding out what the customer wants.
As a woodworker I'm primarily self taught and I thoroughly enjoy building unique projects. Most of my work is contemporary or traditional. I haven't yet delved into reproducing antique furniture although there are a couple of pieces I would like to make.
I work alone so a reasonable amount of time must be allowed to finish a project. I never like to rush anything I do. I want the project to be right just as the customer does. If I feel a project is too difficult for my skillset I will either not do it or discuss other options with the customer.

For For The Cat, Gilbert3.7It was more enjoyable being involved with the project than the results. We asked and paid extra to have the top of the cabinet to be flat and it was not. The interior light surfaces were unfinished unlike what was requested and expected. The necklace slide out drawer pulls out with difficulty and is crudely made. I was also disappointed with the exposed plywood drawer sides. It makes it look cheap. It was more important to me to have a quality piece than timeliness, which I emphasized. The exterior portions that were photographed are very pleasing in craftsmanship and artistry. The hardware is very nice solid brass and compliments the cabinetry nicely. The woods used are beautiful. My overall impression, he is in it more for the money than for his love of the craft.

For Appalachian Edge Grain Hardwood Cutting Boards5.0I was very impressed with both the actual finished product but also the speed and communication with Dale. He was very flexible with what my wife and I were looking for and was very accommodating. This allowed us to get precisely what we were looking for. It was a wedding present for my godson and we wanted something really special. We got it!

For Wall Cabinet5.0I had a great experience working with Dale. He built a custom wall cabinet for me, for a reasonable price, and it is beautiful. Well made, too. His communication was great, kept me posted, made sure we were on the same page. I would definitely work with Dale again, I'm very happy with his work and professionalism.

For Custom Cutting And Serving Boards From Midwestern Hardwood5.0I am very pleased with my finished product and Dale White did a fantastic job. I would do business with Dale anytime. He let me ask questions and explained to me in a very detailed way of what he was doing and why and he always gave me different options, his communication was great. Dale also got back to me in a very timely manner with each question I had. GREAT PERSON TO WORK WITH!!!! The package was shipped with just the right amount of protection needed to ensure a safe delivery. I WILL RECCOMMEND HIM TO ANYONE I KNOW NEEDING SOME WOODWORK DONE. Thanks Dale, great job, my daughter loves it.

For Marco's 3 shelf End Table5.0I could not have asked for a better craftsman. Dale is professional and very detail oriented. He was consistent with providing progress updates and took his time to make sure the project was made to my specifications. I will definitely do business with him again and will definitely recommend to anyone including my family and friends.
