Great service
This Maker has consistently demonstrated excellence in craftsmanship and customer service.
I have forty years of experience in the woodworking. I build custom designed furniture from both new and reclaimed wood. My specialty is designing and building tables, buffets, bars, kitchen islands and similar pieces. I like to incorporate other craft items (and items provided by client ) in my work such as blacksmith hardware, old glass and stained glass. Once a proposal is agreed to I will provide both a detailed drawing and a stain or paint sample. As a project progresses I give updates and photos of the stage of completion. I have an excellent on time completion rate. Please see my reviews from past clients.
Although I include drawings after a proposal is agreed to if you would like a design prior to signing a proposal my design fee is 50.00 per hour. This fee is waved if later a proposal is agreed to.

What people are saying
Muriel Gardner
For Square Farmhouse Table With Tuscany Pedestal
Overall, a wonderful experience. The table is magnificent. John was most helpful and cooperative every step of the way. Totally professional and a first class job. I am looking for other projects for John to do so I can use his expertise in the future.
Will Dodge
For Will's kitchen island
RSRichard Shields
For Richard's Dining Table
From the outset of my experience with Custommade.com I was impressed with the number and quality of bids received. I published a specific specification, desired wood and a very short timeline for my custom table. John gave me two options and a great bid price. He committed to the short timeline. After accepting his proposal he took the time to come to see the historic home and took the time to match the stain of the table to other furniture. He is exceptional.
Eric Ryba

I am very pleased with the final product, John was great to work with, and I definitely would work with him again!
Andrew Green
For Wooden Gun Storage Cabinet
Great job working with me to design my American made wood gun rack. Also quality product.
