Butcher Block Prep Table

Great job working with me to design my American made wood gun rack. Also quality product.

We are very happy with our new dining room furniture. The quality of John’s craftsmanship is excellent. We highly recommend him.

Our new bench, built by John, has just arrived and we could not be happier. John built us a bench to our exact specifications based on a photograph of a historic bench that we provided. The craftsmanship is superb and we highly recommend him.

John worked really hard to build the table we wanted and was great through the process.

From the outset of my experience with Custommade.com I was impressed with the number and quality of bids received. I published a specific specification, desired wood and a very short timeline for my custom table. John gave me two options and a great bid price. He committed to the short timeline. After accepting his proposal he took the time to come to see the historic home and took the time to match the stain of the table to other furniture. He is exceptional.

I am very pleased with the final product, John was great to work with, and I definitely would work with him again!

I manage an interior design firm and found John when we needed a custom kitchen table for our clients. John was very professional, friendly, and communicative from the start and throughout the entire process. John would call and email to check in when I would otherwise let that slip off my plate. He made house calls -as we live locally to him, to bring by samples. John always made sure we were satisfied with each step before he would move on with the project. I can't reccommend him enough, and we can't wait to work with him in the future!

John was extremely professional throughout the entire process of creating my dining/gaming table. Not only did he give me weekly updates as the project was progressing (along with pictures), he also consulted with me every step of the way. The project was actually delivered ahead of schedule and I've been extremely impressed with the quality of the end product so far.

John was exceptional to work with, he designed and built our kitchen table. We were fortunate to have chosen someone local to us and were able to come by his shop to choose the right stain and check on the process. John was great at communicating each step of the process. He is experienced in woodworking and was able to offer insight on appropriate table height and base options for our table. John gave good timelines and even gave us a heads up when the stain was taking a little long to dry. Shipping/delivery did not apply to us, as we were able to pick it up ourselves. I highly recommend working with John. We love our table and look forward to creating many memories around the dinner table with our family. Pellegrini Family

We had John make a coffee table and end table. We had some specific dimensions that we needed, and couldn't find anything in a furniture store. Both tables came out great - just as good as you would find in a high end furniture store, and more affordable! Will definitely be coming back to John for future work!

I am thrilled with the kitchen table that John hand made for us in our new Farmhouse. It is just exactly what we wanted and looks better than we ever imagined. John was helpful, accommodating, and communicated with us throughout the course of the project. I would work with him again and highly recommend him for any custommade project. Carrie S.

John exceeded my highest hopes for this project. He was so responsive, helpful, honest, and well-priced. He was also very kind, flexible, and patient, as I wavered on what I wanted the design to be. And he gave me great design advice that I'm so glad I took. Because then I saw his finished product. John is a MASTER. The vanity cabinet is STUNNING. It is exactly as we discussed. But actually, better. Because I simply didn't know that someone could produce something so perfect. I am meticulous and picky, and now that I've met John, I feel like I want him to redo my whole house! I can trust him fully. He is perfectionistic, meticulous.... just a master at his craft. I think he could make anything. Even my very experienced contractor was asking John how he made the vanity cabinet. I feel so fortunate that we hired him for the project. He really made my dreams come true!

John made a really cool table for me. I had the base and some antique wine crate ends. John was the first person on Custom Made to respond to my inquiry and he lives in Vienna so he won the job from me. The price was about what I expected. I popped over to his workshop with my table base and my box of crate ends. We laid out the ends and discussed the wood he would use to make the boarder. He had a lot of choices and told me how each wood would look. We did the "art" of laying out the crate ends together and agreed that it looked great. After I left he did some research and we discussed some specifics before he stated the job. I haven't picked up the piece yet but he sent photos and my mom and I are both really excited. He said that he got the top really flat, flatter than we expected since it was dependent on the crate ends that I supplied and they are over 40 years old with the date of the wine stamped on them. I hope he puts the table on his site to illustrate his work. I can't wait to get it tomorrow. He suggested that I wait a bit after he finished the table to allow the stain to fully dry before I picked it up. He wasn't in a huge hurry for me to take it off his hands.

Overall, a wonderful experience. The table is magnificent. John was most helpful and cooperative every step of the way. Totally professional and a first class job. I am looking for other projects for John to do so I can use his expertise in the future.
