Large Round Cutting Board

The entire process was fantastic. Michael communicated throughout with pictures of his progress. The board was delivered earlier than expected and it was beautiful. I highly recommend him.

Mike did a wonderful job with a custom design for a unique item. His communication was exceptional as I was involved from start to finish on decisions and consulted about my preferences. The finished product exceeded my expectations and he truly went the extra mile as he hand delivered the product (driving 4 hours each way). I would recommend Mike without reservation. He is amazing and I will not only use him again for projects, but I already have other folks asking for his contact information after viewing the piece.

I couldn't be happier! The whole process was smooth and filled with communication and the willingness to get it just right. We have exactly what we wanted within our budget and every step was clear and friendly. Cannot recommend enough!

I was matched with Michael Shoup through Marketplace, following my request for two bedside tables. Michael initially showed me a few examples of his work to get a sense of his style and quality of finished work. His style seemed polished and solid with a great balance between aesthetics and function, so I went with him for my project. The project flowed quite smoothly from the start. I sent him drawings, wood choice, and dimensions of the tables to get started. He appreciated the specifics, and provided a few considerations and thoughts as we worked through the final design. We communicated regularly until we finalized the end product, during which he also let me know his finishing process for the wood and timing. Upon starting the work, Michael let me know his progress and ETA of the pieces. Michael far exceeded the timing Marketplace had initially proposed to completion, and we received the two bedside tables very protectively wrapped. They are as well made and beautiful as I hoped. I will definitely work through Marketplace again, and already have another project for Michael being planned.

It was such a pleasure to work with Mr. Shoup. I sent him pictures of a nightstand from a bed & breakfast we had stayed at in Vermont. He was able to to replicate this exact piece to our preferred measurements to work with our bedroom. Mr. Shoup was very prompt and thorough with his updates while working on the nightstands. The are very high quality and Mr. Shoup is such a kind person to work with. He generously met me between Austin and Kerrville to give us the nightstands.
