    4.5

    The music box was exactly what I was looking for. The design on top of the box was awesome and he was able to get the music for me as well. He took care of everything. My little girls love their music box. Thank you for the great craftsmanship.

    For Box Project
    5.0

    I waited until the box actually arrived to post a review and I am so glad I did. This project absolutely exceeded my expectations. Clearly this designer is an artist. The detail he incorporated using the natural grain of the wood is beautiful. He not only met all fulfilled all of my requests and communicated in a timely manner, but he clearly took pride in this job and made me a very satisfied customer. Thank you so very kindly!

    For Walnut Jewelry Box

    the box is beautiful and exactly what I wanted. One corner got a little dent in it during shipping, and small spot of tape residue from the tape used to secure the bubble wrap, but those are minor. I would certainly order from WW&SD again.

    For bowls
    4.7

    I found Woodplank Wishes and Sawdust Dreams in a google search for someone who could make bowls from the trunk of a beloved tree that had to be cut down. I was amazed to find them right here in my hometown of Wheeling, West Virginia! The bowls are just what I was hoping for and Gerry actually got more bowls out of the wood than I thought was possible. There even is a darling candlestick, everything made from a tree that was really special to our family. The value was exceptional, the woodworking very nice, and I am very happy to have not lost our tree completely (some of the bowls will be Christmas presents for family). I will definitely do business with Woodplank Wishes and Sawdust Dreams again!

    For Fife box

    Mr. Mitchell was the first to respond, the first to make a proposal, and his proposal was the best of several received. He was absolutely great in our communications (about design, construction, finishing, hardware, etc.) despite a somewhat awkward CustomMade website, and the box he made for my wife is just perfect and exactly what we wanted!!! All, including shipping, was at blazing speed. I can't say enough good things about this maker or his craftmanship on this project.

    Great experince, reasonable price and excelent communication. He always kept me up to date, responded right away, sent me pictures, and completed everything on time. Easle is a bit too high for my 2.5 y/o daughter so i think it is always a good idea for the customer to include/review exact measurements. I definately recommend Woodplank Wishes & Sawdust Dreams and i plan to order more products from him. Great work, thanks!

    For 5 Humidors
    2.5

    The humidors were the worst I have ever seen. I only received 4 out of the 5 humidors and the delivery was 11days late. Wood Glue is seen everywhere inside the lids, it looks like a rushed job and was not sealed properly. The photos of all of the humidors open was not posted prior to shipping. No enforcing components were used to secure the overall construction of each of the humidors received. Blemishes in the wood with cracks are visible. The humidors is composed of wood glue and cut wood. I asked for unfinished exterior because I was going to finish the exterior. I got totally unfinished interior and exterior. With trays the vary in size and one actually has holes cut so be tha the cigars will fall through to the bottom. I have waited time and energy and money on this project. I did not expect this to be handled this was. I am not satisfied with this at all due to it being incomplete. I do know what the maker is going through personally and I do wish him well.

    For franklin library chair
    5.0

    Gerry was wonderful to work with. I had a franklin chair built by Woodplank and Wishes and a complete kitchen renovation done by another group and I wanted the chair to match the new kitchen. The chair looks great, it is well constructed and will be great for a short person to reach the top of ceiling cabinets. I would use Woodplank and Wishes in the future for specialty items. Thanks Gerry
