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 Michael's Dominos4.8I enjoyed having this project done. It will be a great thing for the memory of my grandfather to have his, our, dominoes hanging on the wall with his information on it. My mother and grandmother both love it and I do too. I thank Dale and Dixie Woodworking for doing this project. We had some bumps in the road but they were resolved quickly.

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 Horizontal Book Case3.8Dale was a pleasure to deal with and communicated well and was very helpful selecting the appropriate stain. He even took the time to meet up to select the appropriate stain. The overall quality of the pieces however was lacking and they may be unusable.
I ordered a large horizontal book case and a smaller cubby. The specs on the smaller piece were fine. The large horizontal bookcase though was 6" taller than the maximum height I'd requested. It was intended to be placed under a window it's so tall now it'll actually cover some of the window. Also, the top of the large bookcase is noticeably bowed….the middle is more than 0.25" lower than the sides.
The stain on both pieces is quite uneven as well. This is especially obvious where vertical and horizontal pieces meet and on the exterior sides of the smaller piece where you can clearly see streaks. Also, some of the edges do not appear to be sanded and there are small wood particles stuck in the finish.
In fairness the price that I paid was low compared to other bids. In retrospect I wished I had paid more so that the specs were met and the finish quality was better.

For Mary's shadow box4.8Dale did a shadow box for me. She did a great job following my specifications to the point. The result was just what I expected. She did it nicely and promptly. Dale was engaged and dedicated her talents to my project. Now I got a pretty shadow box. Thanks, Dale. I can recommend Dale wholeheartedly.
