Great service
This Maker has consistently demonstrated excellence in craftsmanship and customer service.
I have been in the Furniture and Millwork industry for 40 years.
I started my career with education in Mechanical Design and working in sheet metal fabrication as a drafter and machinist. (Skills I still use today).
Always having a passion for woodworking I started a furniture manufacturing business specializing in dining room furniture. Over the next 15 years we built over 8000 dining room tables, custom furniture and cabinetry including several high end country club locker rooms. After the difficult decision to close the business i spent the next 15 years as the Millwork Manger for a high end custom Yacht manufacturer.
From there I was the Operations Manager for a high end custom millwork company specializing in residential interiors. Last year I made the decision to get off the "corporate treadmill" and focus my efforts on building custom furniture. I am building a commission backlog as well as speculation pieces. I look forward to meeting new clients through CustomMade.

For Custom Walnut Table Top5.0We are very pleased with Mike's work on our walnut dining room table. It turned out exactly as expected. The quality of workmanship is great and Mike kept us informed during the process. I will gladly have Mike handle our next job.

For Yvette's Dining Table5.0I am so pleased with the beautiful, oversized kitchen table Michael made for me. We had excellent back and forth communication during the design phase. Michael had great insight into the design I pictured and supplied a CAD drawing to help me envision it further. He was professional and communicative during the building phase. The project was done at the exact time he quoted in the beginning and it was delivered with extreme care. It is beautifully made, so heavy and sturdy … exactly what I wanted! I would highly recommend Michael!! What a joy to work with.

For Meghan's Dining Table5.0Mike went to great lengths to help us with our dining table. He sent several finish samples, we discussed the specific design and specs, and he brought the piece to our home. The table is a true work of art!

For Jim's Teak shower bench5.0Mitchell was fantastic! I gave him a picture of what I was looking for, some measurements and requested stainless steel hardware for my teak shower bench. It turned out even better than I expected. He is a true craftsman and I highly recommend using him for your projects. I know he doesn’t normally do this, but he hand delivered the bench to my house just outside of Chicago. I wish I could upload a picture into this review.
