Sliding Top Walnut Coffee Table
This was built for a customer to her specifications. It was designed to allow the customer to do jigsaw puzzles without having to disrupt the puzzle process. When needed, the top slides over the puzzle til the next time you desire to proceed. The table measures 50 inches wide by 32 inches deep by 20 inches high. The shelf below the top is situated 2 1/4" below the sliding panel at the customers request. The table is 100% walnut with a walnut dye stain and finished in General Finishes Arm-R-Seal Gloss. The glass is 1/4" thick to ensure greater strength for the top. The slides used in this project are from Rockler and are Centerline Over-Travel 100 lb. black slides. There is a bottom shelf for the storage of magazines, puzzles, etc.

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 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 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
