Great service
This Maker has consistently demonstrated excellence in craftsmanship and customer service.
Like most woodworkers, I have constructed many things over the years. Locally I still create most anything my clients request. On a wider level, I have developed a following of clients who require display and storage of unique or valuable items. These creations include chests of drawers, desks, armoires, dressing tables, custom work surfaces, personal and retail displays, chests and carrying cases.
I approach these projects from two ways. The first approach is to create an heirloom. An object that will function as the client intends but, in itself, will also be a show piece. These most often store things like jewelry, watches, pens, knives, guns, fishing equipment, quilts and other collectibles. They often contain many drawers which may have custom interiors.
The second approach is to create daily functionality. Again, it must fit the clients purpose but is more to stand up to daily use an abuse. These may fill the same function as the first approach but aren't meant to be passed on to the next generation. These may be for home, retail or commercial application.

For Black Cherry Six Drawer Jewelry Chest #1

For Chair/ Rocking Horse
Absolutely wonderful experience! Mr Franklin turned my husband's grandfather's old and broken chair into a breathtaking heirloom item. I couldn't have been happier with the overall timeliness, value and delivery. My husband cannot pass by the rocking horse without smiling. Best birthday gift I've ever given him.
Michael Lay
For Small Glass Top Display
I am very happy with the design of the glass case. My statue looks great inside. Jeff is extremely easy to work with, professional, and knows his craft. There was a little mishap with shipping, but Jeff was quick to fix the problem and was very helpful. I would be happy to work with him again on any possible future projects, and I would highly recommend him to others.
Kurt Ellis
For Custom tables
Jeff did a fantastic job making our custom bowling lane tables and desks. He was responsive and very helpful in the design phase. He found ways to cut costs so we could get what we wanted but stay within our budget, without sacrificing quality. I definitely recommend him to anyone looking for custom made work work.

For Small Custom Display for burnt screwdriver
My display case is beautiful and is exactly (actually better) than I had envisioned these 18 years since I first determined to One day display my burnt screwdriver as a reminder to stay humble as I grew in my success and overall happiness. Jeff was wonderful from beginning to end! I can't thank you/him enough!
