This is a cart that a customer requested unfinished because of the rustic them of her home. She loves the smell of aromatic red cedar and she needed something to transport items from one end of the house to the other. This item is light weight because it was made out of two soft woods, yellow pine and red cedar. The item is 15" wide, 23" deep, and 40" tall including the wheels. This is a quick ship item and can be made and shipped within one to two weeks.

My specialty is furniture refinishing but I also enjoy making custom furniture. Over the years I have been told repeatedly that I missed my calling when it came to the art of wood. I just enjoy any type of carpentry and making others dreams come true.
Dealing with the public all my life first as a salesman during college and have realized over the years that most people are not patient. Quality work is not possible without patience and making sure every detail is covered for pieces to last a lifetime. My pieces are meant to be passed down from generation to generation. This process can not be rushed.
No one is perfect and I don't expect to be, but I strive for perfection in my furniture making process. With a Masters in Special Education and a Masters in Business, I have learned that patience over powers ignorance.

For Custom Cutting Board That Measures 36" X 36" Or The Start Of A New TableMy dream of a beautiful 25 x 35 " custom butcher block is now in my hot little hands! Derrick Harris was a true professional craftsman from the initial discussion of my project throughout the process. As a retired 30+ years Sr. Museum Designer I have worked along side of some of the best fabrication people in the business and I have to say Mr. Harris is right up with these folks! He matched the cherry wood to my antiques as well as counseling me on building techniques as well as keeping me up to date on where he was on my project. The Cherry butcher block he made for my newly renovated kitchen is so beautiful I haven't used it. That said, my contractor was so impressed by Derricks work including the cost he is looking into "Custom made" for his future projects.
Did I mention Derrick created my dream piece like an expert in the museum packing field truly unbelievable work from start to finish.
Derrick Harris is a true Craftsman and I am singing his praise from the mountain. Looking for that special person to make your dream come to life…
Look no further!

For Platform Storage BedWe are thrilled with the custom bed we ordered. Derrick was extremely personable and put in the time and effort to make sure everything was exactly the way we wanted it. He is certainly a perfectionist and that, along with the covid pandemic led to some delays/extensions on the deadline but the finished product was worth well it. We found him a pleasure to work with and would highly recommend him!
