For Daniel's Walking Stick5.0What 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 Dave's Miniature Stand Up Paddleboard (SUP)5.0It was a totally fantastic experience. Since making a model of a Stand Up Paddleboard to scaled down dimensions from a real one is quite unique, we did a lot of communication back and forth via text - with a lot of pictures as well as associated comments & questions (from both of us). The final SUP was perfect and is a tool I will use extensively when I teach. Mahdee was given a free hand making a box to transport the SUP. It is truly unique, just what I need, and not anything like what it would have been if I had constrained the master craftsman to my specifications. I will be proud to take the SUP in its carrying case to my classes.

For Purchase turquoise cane5.0Working 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.
