    Jonathan was very considerate in making sure I was happy with the product before he delivered it. I made a number of changes after it was almost complete, but he patiently found a way to make the product I wanted. And it was just what I envisioned -- beautiful dining table with a coastal feel. I love it! Highly recommend!

    Jonathan was a delight to work with! He is an amazing woodworker and he created a beautiful hand-made bench for me. I had a picture of a bench that I saw on the internet, and he was able to make an exact replica of it with gorgeous hand-carved detailing. He delivered it to my house and set it right in place in my foyer. It truly is spectacular and I am beyond thrilled with the bench. He is a terrific guy and I would highly recommend him... he is an amazing and talented woodworker!

    Am delighted with the unfinished step stool. One suggestion though... stool was covered with dust from the final sanding and this got over counters and floor as it was being removed from box. A final wipe-down after sanding and before shipping would be appropriate.

    Never received final product. Asked Jon for red oak stain. Benches were finished in a light birch/pinkish color. Sent them back nine months ago. Followed up with Jon for months. When he chose to respond to my emails or answer my phone calls, I was told, it would be another month. Benches still haven't been completed and now Jon is telling me to come pick them up. Really? I paid $2K for this circus?

    Jonathan was superb to work with. Even though the project took longer than estimated (mainly subject to weather), the end product is very satisfying. All through the project, Jonathan was very communicative with pictures, stain consulting and suggestions. The delivery was smooth and we got to meet him and his lovely family! We chose Jonathan after screening and talking with multiple wood working artists, and we are glad we chose him. The construction, finish, and design is as promised and better. We highly recommend Jonathan for any project you are looking to do -- small or large. Our dining table was a large (12 seater), 4 inch top Farmhouse table, and Jonathan did it! Guru

    Jonathan was wonderful to work with. He was very responsive and extremely accommodating. He created a very high quality bunk bed with trundle that converts into 2 twin beds. Our specifications were detailed regarding the use of non-toxic materials, adhesives and paint. He was able to meet the criteria. We are impressed with the craftsmanship of his work and would definitely hire him for another project and recommend him to our friends.

    Jonathan did a great job with our project. He built exactly what we were looking for, which was an odd sized storage unit, and the final product looked the way he described that it would. He kept in touch throughout to let me know how it was going, and made a fast and easy delivery. We are very happy with the result of our project.

    I love my new coffee table! Jonathan was great to work with. He came back with ideas on how to make the table I wanted (types of wood) but still keep it within my price range. The table came out looking almost exactly like the picture I had sent. It is solid and beautifully stained/finished!
