Cane is outstanding. He took an idea from me and made a piece of art that is 100% useable. Will definitely work with again.
Great communication, easy to work with, accommodating and an incredible craftsman!
Extremely pleased with her openess to listen to what I wanted and the effort she put in to reach my goal. Communication was exceptional. The reaction of my grandsons was priceless.
Working with Maudee was a unique experience I thoroughly enjoyed. The cane, made of hickory/cherry with a turquoise band, was exquisitely crafted and an absolute work of art. I originally asked for a cane that was minimalistic in design yet quietly elegant. My request was totally fulfilled. Thank you. BH
