Chess Board / Humidor
This was made as a special request from a customer. It was a gift to someone that loved both chess and cigars. It features two humidors; one on each side of the chess board. The lower drawers hold the humidors and the upper drawers hold the chess pieces. For this piece, the chess board is made from cherry, walnut and ash and the humidors are made from Ipe, similar to spanish cedar and also in the mahogony wod family.

For River Table hall table5.0Love our custom made hall table ?. Never ordered from CustomMade or Doug before, so we were skeptical. We specified the width and color. He communicated with messages and pictures on the progress of the table. It is so beautiful! And Doug had the table hand delivered to us in N J.

For Knife Block Live Edge / Natural Edge / Tree Edge Magnetic5.0It's always risky when you hire some total stranger online for some custom pieces, since you can't be there to touch and examine the products. Photos can be difficult to gauge the skills of the hands behind the objects of the photos. This small project turns out to be exemplary. The chopping block and knife strip are well made, with attention to details. It's obvious McPherson took a lot of pride in his craft. And most of all, he was responsive in communication, and was able to offer suggestions when we made a drastic change and decided to go for an end grain chopping block and stripped pattern knife strip. With some exchanges of phone calls, texts, and photos, the products were made, and a couple of days later turned up at my porch, well packed and out to be beyond my expectation.
Overall, this has been a very positive experience. The worst part: I may end up ordering some more pieces…. oops.
