Red Oak 9 Drawer Sideboard (Weathered)
This was designed by me and approved by the customer. This piece was designed to fit a certain place in the home and is constructed from red oak with the interior woods being white ash. (The granite top was chosen by and paid for by the customer). All of the nine drawers, all dovetailed, are constructed out of red oak with handles picked out by the customer and installed by me. There are 4 stile posts front and rear with 3 drawers in each section. Each section is identical to the other ones. The most difficult part of this project was to get the weathered and distressed look that the customer wanted. Several attempts were made before the customer decided upon this look. This unit measures 83 1/2" wide x 17" deep x 37 1/4" tall Price of $3500.00 includes red oak top, $3,000.00 without top customer provides their own

For Chelsea's Media Cabinet5.0Al The Oakman did such a beautiful job on this piece! It turned out just perfect and I am so pleased with the finished product. His communication before and during the build was great; always thorough and so very kind. He delivered the piece himself, with his lovely wife, to my home. I couldn't be happier! Thanks Al!

For Cherry And Honduran Rosewood Jewelry Box5.0Al contacted me immediately after I placed my order. After realizing we were replacing a hand made jewelry box, he offered to reproduce it. With no photos to use as a pattern, he and I came up with a design and changed the materials used. Al picked up some beautiful aromatic cedar and sent photos before he began work. The final result was a beautiful replica of the lost original jewelry box. Al provided a quality custom product while exhibiting good customer service in a timely manner. I cou not be happier with this experience.

For Cherry And Purpleheart 2 Drawer Jewelry Box4.3I was looking for a box as a gift for my husband. The final result is very satisfying, but I learned how important it is to know exactly what you want when collaborating with an artisan on this site. Al was very willing to communicate and figure out what I was looking for, but I was not always able to make distinctions between options sent by photo or to specify certain details. Luckily for us, Al agreed to revise his work, and we're pleased with the final product.

For Jewelry Box-Red Oak With Purpleheart Accents And Knobs5.0I don’t like to communicate via email on creative projects and sometimes artists think I want to go around CustomMade or just waste their time so phone numbers aren’t easily forth coming.Al called me after the 1st email
Good sign, ideas and photos went back and forth the plan was set. Photos arrived at every step,from picking the wood to where inlays would be.the finish product arrived early (very nice the completion date drop dead set). It came in a box in a crate in another box wrapped in bubble wrap, A challenge to UPS,FEDX,USPS they LOOSE Everyone here was speechless the Jewelry Box Is truly One of a kind not something we would fine even it high end stores in Scottsdale. Design,fit and finish,inlays and the wood.OVER the TOP. We are thinking of the next project for Al he makes HEIRLOOMS not furniture
