Mission Style Chair

Very happy with final product. Would work with Thomas again.

Tom was able to create exactly what I wanted. He is a fabulous carpenter. The book case is precisely what I asked for the size and stain are perfect for its new location. Communication with Tom was very easy. When I have another project Tom will be the one I call.

We are thrilled with the TV stand produced by Tom at Fox River Woodworking. We came up with a concept and style and he came up with a beautiful design. The end product is beautiful and well built. We were very pleased about how easy it was to work with Tom. The job was done quickly and the price was great. We will use Tom for our next project.

My experience with Fox River Woodworking was better than I ever could have imagined. I had a very specific custom request. Thomas made sure that he understood what I wanted; he anticipated issues that I hadn't considered; most importantly, he produced a truly beautiful, as well as practical, piece of furniture. Communications were frequent, timely, and clear. The project was completed incredibly quickly. Throughout the process, I felt not only that I was dealing with a skilled craftsman and thorough professional but also with a friend and neighbor.

We are very happy with our media cabinet that needed special angles. Thomas was great to work with and took the time to understand what we were looking for. He was always quick to respond to questions and created our unique media cabinet in fine timing. We would work with him again!

Great experience. Sent Tom a picture of what I wanted and he made it happen. Delivered on time and very happy with outcome.

Thomas did a great job with our display for our restaurant!

I had a great experience working with Thomas Ruetz. He is so patient and understanding. He will go above and beyond to make exactly what you need. Also, he is a very good communicator, replies to emails and answers all your questions. The whole project was such a pleasant experience for me. I highly recommend him.

It could not have gone better!!!!!!!

I could not be happier with my choice of maker for my vanity and cabinet project. Thomas was very professional, extremely fast, very reasonably priced and so helpful. The vanity and cabinets are beautiful. Thank you Thomas!!

Had a great time working with Thomas on this project, very happy!!!

Great transaction. Quality was exceptional. Pleasure to work with.

I had seen a bathroom vanity from a well-known brand in a store, but it was extremely expensive. I showed the vanity to Tom and he was able to help me customize the vanity (adding an inch of height and some drawers inside the cabinet) all for a fraction of what the name-brand would cost. My finished product of gorgeous and looks like a million bucks!

I absolutely LOVE my table! It is a highlight in my newly remodeled kitchen and turned out even better than I could have hoped for. From my first contact with Tom, I knew he was the maker that I wanted to work with as he was very professional and seemed to share the vision that I had for my project and while reviewing his profile it looked as though he had the expertise to deliver the quality of product that I was hoping for. He is very kind and patient man, who was very generous with sharing his expertise and recommendations to ensure a quality product, even when I wasn't always sure. He had open lines of communication and sent photos to keep me updated on the progress of my project every step of the way . Every time I walk into my kitchen, I have to stop and touch my table because I am so amazed by the quality and can't believe how quickly he was able to deliver it while still maintaining such high quality. I look forward to working on another project with Tom. Do not hesitate to work with Tom at Fox River Woodworking, you won't be disappointed!

I have really enjoyed working with Thomas. He has great communication and really worked with me to get the design I wanted just right, while making thoughtful suggestions.

The kitchen island Tom made for us is beautiful and meets our every expectation. It's a piece of art! Throughout the process Tom regularly sent updated drawings to help visualize and create the final product. HIs suggestions were perfect and help make it a real showpiece.

I had two pedestals made for my dining room and I must say they are gorgeous. Once we were able to figure out exactly what I wanted he was able to execute it in a timely matter. We started in November and I wanted to get done before Christmas and of course he made sure that happened. Communication was excellent he responded to all emails and we even had a few phone conversations. In order for me to get them before Christmas he hand-delivered it, I was very happy. His prices are very reasonable. The next time I am looking to have something madevand I know that he would be able to do the job for me he is definitely the guy that I will hire.

For my project, I needed a new media console that would fit my space, and allow me to add two subwoofers to my front stage in my living room home theater set up. I had an idea in my head, but no expertise in woodworking, and not wanting to pay for a store-bought item that could get higher than $2000.00. I came across Tom, who is only maybe 40 minutes from me. We worked back and forth making changes here and there, based off of my initial design. Tom was very patient with me, and explained areas that I didn't account for the thickness of the wood in my measurements. What I got was a beautiful, functional piece of furniture, for a good price, and was able to take money out of the hands of big box stores, and keep that money in the hands of a local craftsman. I 150% would use Tom again in the future, as I do have other ideas/plans. Tom has become my new "Wood Guy"! Thank you Tom!

I am very, very happy with the custom built sconces that Thomas made for us. I sent him a picture of a sconce I saw online, and he just whipped up a design and had them finished and ready to ship lickety-split. Absolutley fabulous! We'll need a matching light fixture for the bathroom, and he's the guy to do it - we'll be back!

Thomas is an amazing carpenter and his expertise and attention to detail are wonderful! I needed custom planters made and I was very particular about the details. Not only I got exactly what I wanted but Thomas also advised me about some design issues I wasn't aware of. I'm was thrilled with what I got and will definitely use his services for future projects!

Thomas is a real pleasure to do business with. He made my double doors beautifully. The decorative glass is awesome looking and his craftsmanship is top notch! I'm very pleased and happy I hired him for my doors!
