Great service
This Maker has consistently demonstrated excellence in craftsmanship and customer service.
I am an independent artist/artisan working exclusively in reclaimed, recycled, upcycled and found materials.
i make the useless useful again. i make worthless things priceless.
from conception, to making it to sweeping up, i am a one-man operation - by design.
my work is not for everyone. my customers are people who want truly unique, one-of-a-kind pieces that are made fairly and ethically from locally salvaged materials - with as small a footprint as i can muster.
i will make and ship things all over the united states (depending on size) but i prefer to work regionally (Boston to NYC and thereabouts).
listed on this page are some pieces i've made for others and some pieces i have available for sale. but what i really want to do is design and make what YOU want. let's do it!
be good,
tim
oh yeah, at you will find more than one hundred video of things i've made.

For Jaye's Small Chess Board
Tim Sway did an awesome job on my mini chess board!!! He explained the process, worked out the details with me, gave me options, and created something truly unique. And it looks exactly like the picture I provided!!! I definitely want to work with him again!!! Thank you so much, Tim!!

For Custom frame for military trunk
Tim is super fun and easy to work with. He had lots of creative suggestions for our project (turning my grandfather's WWII trunk into a coffee table), and the finished product was completely perfect, even better than we hoped for!
Christel Haberland
For custom table made out of antique wood window shutter
I love my new coffee table. Tim was very easy to work with and understood exactly what I wanted. Suggested some changes that made it great! Thanks again!

For Custom Guitars From Reclaimed Materials
This was my first experience with Custom Made, and it rocked! Tim did such an awesome job on the bass. He finished way ahead of his projection and kept it at a very reasonable price. The bass itself is beautiful; it plays so well. I’ve owned many basses in my day, but this is by far the most unique. I cannot recommend Tim Sway Perspectives enough. His communication throughout the project was fantastic; I received updates regularly. He was very open to my input, which was great. Tim definitely wants the customer to be satisfied. If you want a really cool bass [or guitar], look no further. Do yourself a favor and let Tim Sway make it for you.
