Mahdee is a self-taught woodworker and home builder. His love for woodworking was kindled in early 1980's when during one summer he assisted in a woodworking shop designed for people with disabilities. All of his products are his original designs and are often accented with varieties of unique concepts.
Peggy is a self-taught woodworker and craftswoman. She enjoys concrete art as well as woodcrafts utilizing mostly reclaimed products. She was the recent 2nd prize winner at a contest with instructable for making a beautiful swan from a chunk of wood.
to be fair, this is the second project i submitted to this crafter because this was a long term project and the original one closed and became full of errors. I first submitted an object with such specifications that i didn't think anyone would come to my aide. But not only did "mahdee & Peggy raieesdana" accept the job, they went over it with me in detail, confirming the details as best as they could get. Months went by and they proceeded to check in with me in whatever way was best for me offering an email or phone number for whatever way would work best for me to keep in touch. They dynamically made a crafted master piece as they specialized in canes and crafted the exact thing i needed. To every detail i specified they matched and exceeded. As i said before it was a long term project but they still managed to cut the original guesstimated time in half. Even the shipping came a few days early. With the tracking not working and me spacing on letting him know that it came so quickly he checked in with me letting me know the best routes to take to figure out where it might be. They have not only crafted me a masterpiece of a cane, but one i will treasure the rest of my days. Their skill is almost magical, I cannot thank them enough~
Extremely pleased with the project. Mahdee added his expertise, advice and knowledge that made my project successful. An enjoyable experience.
Maker was very thorough and asked questioned when needed to make sure finished project was correct. Excellent communication. Very satisfied with finished project.
The walking stick is quite attractive, with the wood grain showing nicely, and a semi-gloss finish. Mahdee's workmanship is excellent. I asked hime to "break" the shaft in half, so the stick could be loaded into a suitcase, and the threaded coupling is solidly installed; when threaded together, the seam can not be distinguished even by running a finger over it. Mahdee continuously updated me with photos as the work progressed, & our e-mail exchanges were vey cordial. I'm very satisfied.
This piece was intended for educational purposes and itsee quality and beauty are such that it can easily be used for liturgical functions.
