Rustic White Cedar Coffee Table
Made from saw milled white cedar from the swamps of the Lumbee River and by the hands of a Native American from the largest tribe East of the Mississippi River. Growing up in a poor community we learned how to use our hands and I gained my knowledge through watching the elders in my community build furniture for their own families. Now I am building it for my own and those around me.

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 Reclaimed Wood Custom Chevron Table With Industrial Metal Legs1.0Would 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 Reclaimed Barnwood Square Coffee Table, With Free Shipping5.0Our 48 inch square rustic coffee table is beautiful! Exactly what we wanted. We will definitely have Derrick make some more furniture for us. It was such an easy process. He kept in touch with us from the beginning and was extremely helpful with decision making as far as type of wood, stain color, & amount of distressing. We would highly recommend him!

For Dina's Living Room4.7Although 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.
