Rustic Reclaimed Bench

$250

Built from reclaimed wood that was milled from Hurricane Katrina years ago. We took these trees from homes that were destroyed from a massive hurricane and turned them into furniture for clients in our area and still have plenty left to go around. This bench was built from a 140 year old tree that had a nail smack in the middle of it that we found that was nailed in it around 1910.

    This Maker has consistently demonstrated excellence in craftsmanship and customer service.

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 Legs

    Would 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.

    Mr. Harris communicated clearly and thoroughly throughout the whole project, did great work, and is passionate about woodworking. Delivery was white glove and well coordinated. I would recommend to anyone and would do it again.

    Derrick is a gem! His talent and passion are unprecedented. He is kind and very passionate about his craft. He was able to help us and answer all of our questions as well as address our concerns. The final outcome is more than we anticipated! If I could place a billboard on our front lawn, I’d be happy and proud to recommend this true artist????????????

    Mr. Harris was incredibly easy to work with. He listened to what I was looking for, considered my budget, and made it work.
    He kept me abreast of his process along the way which made it even more special. I fully intend to contact him again for my next project.
