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 Custom Cutting And Serving Boards From Midwestern HardwoodI 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 Horizontal Book CaseDale 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 For The Cat, GilbertIt 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.
