Earth art and foods is a homestead established in the 1980's on the foothills of the Ozarks. The physical studio is open on weekends by appointment from 8am - 2pm.
Mahdee is a self-taught woodworker and home builder. His love for woodworking was kindled in early 1980's when during one summer he assisted in a woodworking shop designed for people with disabilities. All of his products are his original designs and are often accented with varieties of unique concepts.
Peggy is a self-taught woodworker and craftswoman. She enjoys concrete art as well as woodcrafts utilizing mostly reclaimed products. She was the recent 2nd prize winner at a contest with instructable for making a beautiful swan from a chunk of wood.
to 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~
I love this walking stick. It turned out better than anticipated and Earth Art was very patient with me as I figured out exactly what I wanted. Had a little trouble with tracking the item once shipped, but I have it now and that's all that matters
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
The final product definitely exceeded my expectations and working with them on my Live Edge entry table was a true pleasure!!! Great communication and very timely, I would use them again and highly recommend you give them a try!
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.
