Owned and operated solely by Ben R. Matthews, with the capable aid and assistance of his Daughter and Son, Esther and Asa, respectively, the timberframe wood shop and forge is located in rural Baltimore County, Northern Maryland.
Ben was flexible enough to show us a variety of potential woods when we realized reclaimed elm would be hard to come by, different finishing techniques to give the aged look we wanted, and even different base options for our table. This made me feel like I was really part of the creation of our coffee table, and even if it doesn't look that different than something you could find in a store, I know it was made with care and love right here in the Mid-Atlantic by a local artisan.
Ben was excellent to work with. He was very good at keeping me informed of my project's status, verifying details, and the craftsmanship is excellent. He is also just a very nice guy, and I would highly recommend using him for any project.
This was our first Custom Made experience but certainly won't be our last - we could not be happier! Ben was AWESOME to work with and so instrumental in helping to shape our vision. He offered great suggestions and kept us in the loop with weekly updates and snapshots. Not only is the finished table beautifully made and exactly what we were looking for, but we feel like we've made a new friend in the process. Thanks, Ben!
Ben was wonderful to work with. He understood exactly what I wanted. He was very responsive and courteous in his emails. He did great work and my wife and I are very happy with the product.
