Jul 30, 2024Working 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

May 24, 2024What 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
