Jun 27, 2023Fantastic end to end experience. Richard at Dovetails and Stitches truly did an outstanding job with “Old Friends”- our bench for our kids. Richard was prompt in communicating and explained the process well. We are exceptionally happy with the finished project. Hope to have something else for them to work on soon!

May 5, 2024My wife and I had a very specific design and style in mind for our fireplace mantle and surround. After a lot of hunting around and receiving we found Richard with Dovetails and Stitches, from the very beginning I knew he was different than everyone else that reached out to me. After a couple conversations and a little looking into Dovetail and Stitches I decided to move forward, I've done a little finish carpentry work, enough to know that Richard knew what he was talking about and was asking me all the right questions. My wife and I are extremely pleased with the outcome, considering that I live many states away and Richard had to do everything based on my measurements I am really impressed, I wish I could upload some pictures to go with the review. The only reason I didn't give 5 stars across the board was for one minor adjustment I had to make. Very glad I went with Richard and Dovetails and Stitches and highly recommend them.

Mar 10, 2024Really enjoyed working with Richard, he ensured product was produced according to specification, offered ideas for improving design. He provided frequent updates and pictures throughout the process. The finish of the wood was exactly like I had envisioned. The product was carefully packaged to ensure no dents or scratches during shipment. Great craftmanship -- would definitely work with Dovetail and Stiches again!
