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
Maker was very thorough and asked questioned when needed to make sure finished project was correct. Excellent communication. Very satisfied with finished project.
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. Daniel
Amazing spelled differently is Mahdee. The experience of working with Mahdee to build a new cane with my antique heirloom top could not have been more professional or fun and exciting. If you want fine work, look no further. 5 STARS, 3 CHEERS, 2 THUMBS UP and 1 HUGE HOORAY Thank you, Mahdee!!
