My specialty is furniture refinishing but I also enjoy making custom furniture. Over the years I have been told repeatedly that I missed my calling when it came to the art of wood. I just enjoy any type of carpentry and making others dreams come true.

Dealing with the public all my life first as a salesman during college and have realized over the years that most people are not patient. Quality work is not possible without patience and making sure every detail is covered for pieces to last a lifetime. My pieces are meant to be passed down from generation to generation. This process can not be rushed.

No one is perfect and I don't expect to be, but I strive for perfection in my furniture making process. With a Masters in Special Education and a Masters in Business, I have learned that patience over powers ignorance.

    Derrick did a fabulous job building a shoe chest of drawers to fit perfectly in an unused nook in the bedroom. Quality and price are excellent. I won't hesitate to use Derrick again. His workmanship has motivated me to think of other woodworking projects I'd like to have made. Thanks Derrick!

    Although it takes longer than what it expected due to COVID-19 over all I’m satisfied. My console table is built very well, very nice, sturdy, and love the color it turned out. Came out more than I expected and and the communicating with maker is ver easy, he responds immediately and willing to work with any changes you wish. Definitely would love to work with the maker in the future. Highly recommend.

    Derrick made me a custom board based off my request, he educated my on the proper woods to use as a Brisket Cutting Board. He sent me updated every other day or so and was very professional. I am very satisfied and will be using Derrick for other projects in the future. Thank You for you work….

    Mr. Harris was incredibly easy to work with. He listened to what I was looking for, considered my budget, and made it work.
    He kept me abreast of his process along the way which made it even more special. I fully intend to contact him again for my next project.
