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 Live Edge Walnut Dining Room TableI love our kitchen table! It is exactly what I wanted. We spent weeks measuring and planning, and I sent photos of the current table. Derrick found just the right piece of walnut, and sent a sample with four stains to choose from. How to choose when you love them all? The delivery was made by an individual company, late at night, because the driver was trying to beat an ice storm. Nothing like adding drama to my already-stoked anticipation! Thank you, Derrick!

For Reclaimed Wood Custom Chevron Table With Industrial Metal LegsWould have given zero stars if it was an option. I hired Harris Carpentry to build a new conference table for my office in January of 2023. I was given a timeline of 3 months for completion. I finally received my table on June 6th after getting very gruff with him. The table had been packaged improperly and was completely destroyed in shipping, so I had to refuse delivery. I had already paid in full, and the insurance company reimbursed him for the damage to the table. Fast forward to November and I still have no table, have heard every excuse you can possibly fathom, and had to get pretty nasty to get my money back. I did finally receive a full refund at the end of November. Now, a year later, I will be finding somebody else to build me a new table.

For Distressed Cedar MantelDerrick is a pleasure to work with, I had requested a Custom Fireplace Mantle for a Homeowner that just Purchased one of our homes. The quality of the wood and the finished product was above our expectations. He is a craftsman in the true sense of the word. He and I are currently working on several other projects. This will be a long term friendship!!
Keep on Keepin on!

For American Black Walnut Gun RackProduct arrived broken due to him wanting to get it to me faster instead of sending it with his normal provider to get it there safe. Told me it could be done by July 1st but didnāt get done with it until the beginning part of august. Every two weeks there was a problem, wrong wood was ordered, vacation, injury, no A/C, it kept going. When the product got here broken, he said he would give me a full refund and only have me half. Refuses to give me anymore. Not only was my product broken, but he would constantly update me on how his other pieces got broken in shipping. āUpgradedā the wood I want to something different without telling me and the product itself wouldāve been great except it was broken. Considering how my project and at least three others were broken or wrong in the time I worked with him, Iād commission someone else for your project.

For Modern MailboxWe are incredibly pleased with our project. Derrick did an amazing job making our mailbox. He was fun and easy to work with. He paid a lot of attention to details and he really cared about what we wanted. Communication with Derrick was easy; he shared his progress along the way. He took care of shipping and the beautiful mailbox arrived safely wrapped. We will definitely return to Derrick for future projects!!!!!!
