Jan 2, 2020to 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~

Jun 12, 2017I am delighted with the hand-made pitchfork. The maker had to be very creative with the shipping. Communication was excellent. He worked hard to keep the shipping costs down. The pitchfork is quite elegant, has a lot of character, and very light weight.
