Mference & Co

I absolutely love the finished product I received. Mark was easy to work with and the communication back and forth was amazing. It took a little longer than expected to receive, but I just cannot get over how amazing the signs look! Very happy.

Item was damaged in delivery, but the issue was quickly addressed and fixed. Very professional, and I was happy with the outcome.

Mark is the consummate professional. I commissioned Mark to create a mini replica of a circa 1660 Brewster arm chair. He kept me informed throughout the project with photos, to ensure everything was going well. His attention to detail and exactness was unsurpassed. His woodwork skills are amazing. The final product exceeded my highest expectations. I cannot say enough good things about Mark. He comes with my strongest recommendation for all your custom projects. You will be well satisfied!

Great communication and process, final product is perfect! Thank you!

Mark was very easy to work with. Answered all questions quickly, kept us updated on project even sent pictures of each step. Highly recommend Mark for your sundial!

Everything was great from start to finish. The only thing I am somewhat not happy with is the size of the font. I see from the details above that I didn't pay enough attention to the size of the font, when I looked at the finished product it took me by surprise, so that is on me. Other than that you were wonderful to work with and I will highly recommend anyone wanting something similar to go with you guys. The finished product is great looking and I can't wait to find the perfect spot to locate it. I believe my wife will love it! Thanks for everything!

Mference was very professional. They constantly communicated to make sure I knew exactly what was going on with the project. My request was quite complicated but they nailed it and I am totally satisfied.

Mark completed this project in a very timely manner, and always kept me updated on the progress! I would highly recommend him..

I asked Mark to make a folding chessboard. I sent him photographs of exactly what I wanted. The finished product bears no resemplance to the photographs. The chessboard I wanted was designed to be portable and lightweight. The board I received was heavy, clunky and to quote Mark "rustic" I became concerned with the qualilty of the constructon when I noticed on a photograph Mark sent to me that there was stain on the light colored squares. Mark had not stained the squared before gluing then down. Because of the this stain flowed to the adjacent squares. Most concerting was that Mark made no effort to clean this up before appling a a finish coat to the entire project. After I pointed the issue to Mark he did remove the finish coat and tried to remove the stain. Additionally, the grain orientation of the squares was a concern. The squares were glued in with no regard to the direction of the wood grain. The squares in the chessboard are not the same size. When I asked Mark about this he responded that his customers prefered a RUSTIC apprearnce. l It was obvious from the phototgraphs I had sent Mark that the board I wanted was anything but rustic. I do not know Mark and only contracted with him after seeing his work online. In my opinion Mark is not capable of making quality items. He is not capable of furniture grade work.. I am very dissapointed in his attention to detail. I did not press him on price. I accepted the price he quoted based upon his reviewing photographs of the folding chessboard I wanted. I expected the finished chessboard to be similar in form to the photographs I sent him. The board as delivered was crudely made, large, heavy, and frankly ugly. Mark is no craftsman and his attention to detail is non-existant.

Loved working with this seller. He gave regular updates with photos! Quality is amazing! My husband loves it. Only issue was the box was almost totally broken when it arrived but that isn’t really sellers fault. Will definitely buy again from this seller!!

Mark was a pleasure to work with Sent me photos every step of the way and made the item to my exact specifications You are lucky he has signed up with you

Good quality work and constant communication on the progress of the chessboard. Sent photos along the way of building the project. I would highly recommend him.

Once again, Mark did not disappoint. The tray is perfect and arrived exactly when I requested. Another quality project by a talented artisan. I’ll definitely used him again for future projects!

Mark made a beautiful, personalized sun dial for me. He sent me pictures all through the process and explained each step. I received it yesterday and could not be happier!

Working with Mark was so easy and simple. He took pictures and updated me with every aspect of the project. He answered every and all questions I had. I would definitely work with him again. Very happy with my cutting board.

Mark is the ultimate craftsman. Our sofa tray is a perfect fit for our sectional. Mark’s communication opened my eyes yo all the work put into something as simple as a wooden tray. He sent picture after picture depicting the entire process. I would definitely recommend him to others & he’s first on my list of artists for future projects.

I would work with Mark again in a heartbeat. I gave him some detailed specifications and tight tolerances. He delivered beautifully. He also communicated well, was reasonable at every turn, and even sent CAD drawings of the custom design for me to review before finalizing it. Overall, I had a great experience. Thank you, Mark!!!

I wish I could give Mark a rating higher than a "5". My experience with him was awesome! I provided Mark with only a picture from Pinterest of a large metal fish. From that picture, he made a template and created the exact same fish. In addition, he provided updates along the way . . . almost every day I got a picture a status report. I also asked for the project to be delivered by a certain date and it arrived a week early. Couldn't recommend Mark enough!!!!

I am very happy with my pocket watch stand. Mark did a great job designing a unique stand for me and he was very concerned about my satisfaction with the project. I would happily work with Mark again.

Great job! Mark took my idea and ran with it while keeping me looped into the progress along the way. It is really cool to see a sketch come to life. It is just what I had in mind. Thanks Mark!
