Kim Miselnicky
For Large Keepsake BoxRick was accommodating of our special requests. He completed the personalized keepsake box quickly, shipped it with special instructions and our son "LOVED IT." I will do the same for our second son when he turns 18.
Bonnie Carter
For Custom Wood Signs - Commercial And PersonalRick, I can't tell you how much I love the name plaque you made for me. It's beautiful! I've shown some of my friends a photo of it and they all agree with me. If I need anything else I'll be sure to let you know. Thank you so much!

For 3 Ring Binder - Custom Sizes & All Wood TypesI ordered a 1" wood engraved three ring binder. Due to the width of the hinge leafs the binder turned out to be 2" thick and hence, when full, looks empty and the binder came missing a piece of hardware. I may be able to save it by fitting the hinge leafs under the binder ring, drilling new hardware holes and running the spine through a table saw. The maker seems very sincere but we apparently had a major failure of communication.
Michael Cardamone
For Michael's SignGreat person to work with; very timely, professional, and open to feedback. Our sign came out great. Would highly recommend Rick for any project.
Tamara Berardi
For Tamara's Cutting BoardRick was very easy to work with and answered our messages very quickly. On this particular project, we had to communicate often and he made our item exactly as we asked. He was willing to do whatever was needed to make sure our project was what we envisioned. AND IT WAS!! I would highly recommend Rick and will use him again for any woodworking projects in my future.
Marilyn Pierce
For Marilyn's SignThe plaque turned out fantastic and was exactly what I had in mind. It was received very quickly and we love it.
Eli Sutula
For Emperor's Club Movie Shutruk Nahunte PlaqueRick did an incredible job with our project and his finished product surpassed what we originally had in mind. He was very easy to communicate with and extremely helpful. His price was also very reasonable for the work he put in and what we received. I would recommend him to anyone looking for a custom piece of woodworking and I will be returning to him for all my custom woodworking needs in the future. 10/10
Beverly Bowman

Roxanne Roxas
For Roxanne's Clothespin Escort Card HolderWe love our place card holder! Rick was very communicative and sent us frequent updates, and he sent it on time as promised! He also provided clear instructions and my dad said it was relatively simple to assemble. Thanks so much again Rick, looking forward to working with you again in the future! :)
Robert Oetting
For Robert's SignWe are completely satisfied with every aspect of Rick Rehling's (Grandpa's Cave) crafting of our sign! Rick was very proactive throughout the transaction, ensuring that we were satisfied. The sign is exactly what we wanted, very professionally crafted, and will make a great gift for our nephew. I highly recommend Rick! I'll be looking for other opportunities to return to him for crafting wood. Thank you, Rick!

For Cheryl's Small Personalized Wood BoxThese boxes turned out beautifully. Rick was very patient and quick responding to my many questions and my shipment arrived more quickly than I expected. I would definitely recommend Grandpa's Cave and hope to order again in the future.
Kian Schuerman
For Kian's keepsake boxThis was a great experience and I would definitely use Rick and Grampa's Cave again for any woodworking project. Rick was extremely responsive and the turn around time on the product was great. Overall a great experience! I would have benefited from a little more consultation and input from Rick. I had an idea and design in mind, and Rick delivered that, but I am not a crafts person and some more guidance and direction and suggestions on the design would have been welcome.
john cors
