Sep 21, 2015Thomas 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!

Dec 9, 2015For 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!

Sep 3, 2021Tom 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.
