Client Testimonials

“We have a beautiful desk and bench hand crafted by Jeff in the renovated space in our house. They fit perfectly into the decor of a modernized, yet still classic, 1920's bungalow. The really neat thing about these pieces is that they were made from sustainable wood - our benefit from the Emerald Ash Borer.

The local ash tree was cut down, turned into lumber, and crafted into furniture all within a short drive from our house. The grain is beautiful, the wood - rock hard -, and the finish can handle just about anything. Speaking of the finish - it's non-toxic, environmentally OK. That's what is so great about Jeff - he practices what he preaches. He believes in sustainability, he's passionate about the environment, and hates waste. He uses as much locally grown lumber as possible, is environmentally savvy in product use, and crafts leftover pieces into butcher block.

A tree was cut down because of an insect, but it wasn't really "destroyed." Jeff turned it into a beautiful piece of furniture. It now "lives" in our house.”

- Anita and Paul Kallman
“Jeff's work is all about quality and creativity. Every piece has a unique "stamp" on it...truly a work of art. It's interesting to talk to him and learn about his passion for sustainability and different kinds of wood. He seems to bring the best out in whatever wood he's working with. I've never owned anything that has had this level of craftsmanship in it, and I am proud to own a piece that is the sort of thing that can be handed down to future generations.”

- Laura Pelehach
