Testimonials
"We are enjoying the entertainment center and fireplace surround that
you custom built for our home. They fit our needs perfectly, and
coordinate so well with our existing furniture. We could never have
store-bought something that could come even close to doing what your
design and splendid workmanship produced. The natural cherry wood
grains are lovely, and the protective finish that you applied is just
superb. We can't take our eyes off of these pieces, or stop running
our hands over the ultra-smooth, pristine surfaces. Many, many thanks."

"The desks Duane has made for us have all been custom designed to fit each office. They show true craftsmanship, creativity and high quality. They add a hand-made feel to the office instead of a standard, out-of-the box office feel. We are pleased with everything Duane has made for us. "

"Duane has created many work spaces for us fitting our needs exactly each time. The custom wood working is top notch, the finishing and attention to detail is superior to any we could have purchased from a supplier. Duane worked to design components that we needed within our budget. We have an ongoing relationship with Duane giving him more projects as we grow and we will continue to use his craftsmanship in the future. We would recommend him for all of your projects as he gives the same high level of quality to all of his woodworking jobs."

I had to write and tell you how delighted Stephan are I with the Cherry Drop leaf table. The finish is so fine that we can't keep out hands off it. We rub it every time we pass through the dining room. Last week I had a chance to really get a close look at the mechanics of the drop leaves. They are the best that I have ever seen. They are routed and fitted with such precision.
This table will no doubt become an heirloom in our family and be enjoyed by many generations to come. We can see that there is a great deal of love built into your art and we thank you for sharing it with us.

Duane's work is top notch. Our cabinets are in a commercial setting, so not only do they have to look beautiful, they have to be sturdy and well made to take the kind of abuse not normally seen in a residential kitchen. Duane exceeded our expectations and our customers are very complimentary of our cabinets. Duane was able to make our retail store appear to be a homey kitchen and his attention to detail was excellent.

We are very pleased with the wall units and mantel. While we had a
general concept of what we wanted, your experience and craftsmanship
made our ideas a reality. Your choice of stain compliments the overall
look of our family room and highlights the grain in the wood you
selected. The fine detailing and scale is perfect. We were impressed
with your meticulous installation. The bookcases and mantel do not
look like they were a “later addition” to the room.
