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.

    Derrick was fantastic to work with. He communicated frequently throughout the process, ensuring our vision for the piece came to life. The quality was excellent and he took great lengths to ensure the piece was packed in a manner that it wouldn't get damaged in shipment. It was an excellent experience and I highly recommend him.

    Although it takes longer than what it expected due to COVID-19 over all I’m satisfied. My console table is built very well, very nice, sturdy, and love the color it turned out. Came out more than I expected and and the communicating with maker is ver easy, he responds immediately and willing to work with any changes you wish. Definitely would love to work with the maker in the future. Highly recommend.
