Great service
This Maker has consistently demonstrated excellence in craftsmanship and customer service.
I have forty years of experience in the woodworking. I build custom designed furniture from both new and reclaimed wood. My specialty is designing and building tables, buffets, bars, kitchen islands and similar pieces. I like to incorporate other craft items (and items provided by client ) in my work such as blacksmith hardware, old glass and stained glass. Once a proposal is agreed to I will provide both a detailed drawing and a stain or paint sample. As a project progresses I give updates and photos of the stage of completion. I have an excellent on time completion rate. Please see my reviews from past clients.
Although I include drawings after a proposal is agreed to if you would like a design prior to signing a proposal my design fee is 50.00 per hour. This fee is waved if later a proposal is agreed to.

For custom coffee table and end table5.0We had John make a coffee table and end table. We had some specific dimensions that we needed, and couldn't find anything in a furniture store. Both tables came out great - just as good as you would find in a high end furniture store, and more affordable! Will definitely be coming back to John for future work!

For Lindsey's Dining Table5.0I manage an interior design firm and found John when we needed a custom kitchen table for our clients. John was very professional, friendly, and communicative from the start and throughout the entire process.
John would call and email to check in when I would otherwise let that slip off my plate. He made house calls -as we live locally to him, to bring by samples.
John always made sure we were satisfied with each step before he would move on with the project.
I can't reccommend him enough, and we can't wait to work with him in the future!

For caren's Live edge wood vanity top, hopefully w/ cabinet5.0John exceeded my highest hopes for this project. He was so responsive, helpful, honest, and well-priced. He was also very kind, flexible, and patient, as I wavered on what I wanted the design to be. And he gave me great design advice that I'm so glad I took. Because then I saw his finished product. John is a MASTER. The vanity cabinet is STUNNING. It is exactly as we discussed. But actually, better. Because I simply didn't know that someone could produce something so perfect. I am meticulous and picky, and now that I've met John, I feel like I want him to redo my whole house! I can trust him fully. He is perfectionistic, meticulous…. just a master at his craft. I think he could make anything. Even my very experienced contractor was asking John how he made the vanity cabinet. I feel so fortunate that we hired him for the project. He really made my dreams come true!

For Gaming/Dining Table5.0John was extremely professional throughout the entire process of creating my dining/gaming table. Not only did he give me weekly updates as the project was progressing (along with pictures), he also consulted with me every step of the way. The project was actually delivered ahead of schedule and I've been extremely impressed with the quality of the end product so far.
