    What a great four week journey working with Mahdee creating a beautiful unique hiking staff! Mahdee accepted the challenge of a crazy idea of mine to create an earthing (grounding) staff that I could use on my homestead and on casual walks.I could not find one anywhere until I stumbled across custommade.com, threw the idea out and linked up with a great craftsman like Mahdee.
    We corresponded many many times over the 4 weeks as the work progressed. There were more details in building a staff like this than I imagined. Mahdee had many suggestions and questions, sending me photos of different alternatives and also sending photos of the work in progress. I always felt good about the project from start to finish.
    The result: A great experience and a magnificent grounding hiking staff to be proud of. Thank you Mahdee, for your willingness to take on the challenge and your great craftsmanship in making my crazy idea become a wonderful reality.

    For Kimono Stand

    I would like to highly recommend Earth art and foods. I really enjoyed working with mahdee & Peggy raieesdana. I requested a kimono stand, and they created a beautiful piece. Communication was excellent. I received frequent updates on progress being made. If I had a question, they were always quick to respond. When there were choices to be made on how to proceed, I was always consulted. I appreciated their efforts greatly because that ensured the product created was what I wanted. Shipping of the completed stand was quick, on time with the original estimate for completion, and to my relief was insured. When it arrived, the kimono stand impressed me as being a beautiful piece of furniture and of high quality. The wood and lacquer along with the simple, sleek design were solid and pleasing to the eye. I am impressed with the precision of the fittings. I would not hesitate to order another product from mahdee & Peggy, andI highly recommend them without reservation!

    Having seen in a review that Mahdee had made a two-section cane, I inquired whether he could make a three section one which would fit into a carryall travel bag. Mahdee kept me informed at every stage in the process. The resulting product showed his excellent craftsmanship, and the cost was moderate given the time and effort which went into making the three-section cane.
