    You'll be hard pressed to find another craftsman like Tom. His work is amazing. He puts so much thought into the project prior to starting, asking all the right questions and providing suggestions and considerations to improve on the original concept. He knows his art and it is reflected in the quality of the finished project. I am thrilled to have the opportunity to have my request turned into exactly what I had dreamed of. Thank you, Tom!!

    For Custom desk and table

    My wife grew up on a farm, but her family sold it before she became an adult. However, recently, the current owners of the farm allowed us to get a bunch of wood from one of the barns that was falling apart on the property. I contacted Tom to see if he could make me a desk out of the wood. He came out and picked up the wood. Several weeks later, I had an unbelievable desk. It looks amazing and unique. And the quality is high. And the price was more than reasonable. I could not give too strong of a recommendation of Tom. And he is a really nice guy also. Thanks Tom.

    For Toy Train Table

    Tom is a true pro and a great, great craftsman. We couldn't be more happy with our very creative train and Lego custom activity table for the kids. Something I'm sure even our grandkids can enjoy some day way in the future! Only heads up is really, really think about the delivery options. Custom pieces can be heavy and bulky and you should make sure the piece isn't just going to be dropped in the driveway. This was my fault....but in the end, we got it into our basement! Honesty, definitely trust in Tom. He was a gem of a find and super easy to work with!

    I could not be happier with the beautiful solid cherry drop leaf table Tom created for me. He was very patient during the design process. My family couldn't believe it was custom made because of his impeccable craftsmanship. If you are lucky enough to have one of Tom's pieces, it will truly become a heirloom!

    For Tv Console

    We hired Tom to make a custom TV console for our family room that needed to fit into a built in area for our new TV. He worked with us on the design which we based on an example, but with custom dimensions, features, etc. He did an outstanding job on the project, we are ecstatic about results Tom delivered and the process overall. He is very professional, pays attention to details, listens and communicates well to understand our requirements. I would highly recommend Tom for a custom project and we will certainly use him in the future. Tom is very professional, courteous and a highly skilled individual. 01/20/2015 Rick and Debbie

    Tom has done 2 projects for me now. Both somewhat small in scale compared to what he is capable of doing, but they were both exactly what I needed and ordered. Yeah, okay, maybe many people do that but when I sought a builder for my Stickley inspired chess table, Tom presented me with a picture of an actual Stickley chess table he had found. He is truly a class act and a fine craftsman.

    We cannot say enough good things about Tom and his craftmanship. He is a pleasure to work with, his work is top top notch, and his prices are fair. He was patient in working with us to hammer out the project idea, and he delivered the project ahead of schedule. We (my husband and I) give Tom our highest recommendation!
