Adrian and his team are truly master craftsman. They transformed our fireplace and living room with solid walnut mantle and floating shelves. They were meticulous in their work and professional to deal with. Highly recommend these guys. Exceeded our expectations.
This piece is the centerpiece of our home. The wood in stunning. The craftsmanship is beyond perfect. The island section is an antique dresser Drake custom sized down to fit our kitchen. They made a thick butcher block counter that connects perfectly to our table. Drake used dowels to connect pieces on the table which looks so unique. Just such a positive experience to work with such amazing people and humbled to have such an incredible piece in our home. It makes the whole house. Very thankful! It’s such a rare find to have someone say yes to such a challenging project and also at a reasonable price.
We asked Drake to make a bench out of my Mother in law’s childhood bed. Although he’d not done one before he was up for the challenge. He picked up the bed and delivered it back. It came out perfect and exactly like we had envisioned! We can continue enjoying this priceless heirloom in a different way! We love it. Our next ask was to make butcher blocks from a piece of old wood we found in our crawl space that had the stamp of a place special to our family. Drake made several beautiful blocks for us to gift to my Dad and sons for Christmas. Drake was able to save the stamps on the bottom of the blocks to make them even more special!
Thanks so much Drake. I will...read full review
