Many of my customers have taken the time to share a few kind words after receiving their box.

Here are a few:

Hi Donald,

I wanted to thank you for making my 37th birthday extra special. I treated myself to one of your jewelry boxes, and am sooo glad I did so.

Your craftsmanship is superb. Equally impressive is the professionalism of your website; it was super easy to order from you, and the gorgeous box was delivered very promptly. Keep up the great work!!!

Thank you,

Amalia

P.S My box is the one that's top is made of Koa wood, and has a beautiful natural diamond pattern in the wood. I love it.

Donald –

With all the chaos of preparing for the meeting, I neglected to let you know how impressed we are with your work. THANK YOU! I will certainly try to use you again in the future and will speak of your work to anyone who is looking for a true piece of art.

Thanks!

Donald,

I received the box yesterday, and I was awed by the sheer artistry of your creation! The clean classic lines of the box itself emphasize the individual grain pattern of each wood, thus highlighting the natural beauty and color of each. The simple lines of the box are perfectly balanced by the ingeniously designed legs (which for some reason, evokes in me images of Frank Lloyd Wright's architectural details). The grain of the snakewood complements the design, adding just the right touch of whimsy! This is definitely one work of art in which the overall design and unique attributes of each wood do not overpower each other, but rather achieve an understated elegance that is rarely seen (and which makes the box look very, very expensive!).

Thank you for sharing your talent. I will definitely look forward to seeing more of your creations.

Hi Don,

Received the "Tea Box" yesterday. There is only one thing I can say...................Awesome !

I can't believe your wife let it go. What a magnificent heirloom piece. Your attention to detail, your craft and service are truly magnificent.

I know that when she opens it at our holiday party, all my kids are going to be making bids on who it will go to someday. But until then, it will grace our dining table and be enjoyed thoroughly every day.

One more time, thank you.

Cordially yours,

Dan Feuer

PS I guess our next project will be to find something for you to craft for each of my children.

And PPS, I know you don't need referrals, but should the occasion every occur, that I could provide a reference for your work,I would be honored.

Mr. Boudreau ...

I received the valet that we will be presenting to our outgoing

Delegate the first weekend in Dec. and all I can say is that is so elegant and beautiful, but so manly at the same time.

I can hardly wait to hear from the receiver of this wonderful lifetime treasure. This valet was definitely created from the heart.

Thanks for taking the love, time and effort to make this possible.

I will let you know how the receiver feels after the presentation.

Thanks Again,

Ken Cole

Yes, it showed up on time, and my husband loves it! We have a cousin who builds musical instruments, and when he saw the wood he was most impressed and took your card.

It may be just a box, but it's a work of art and I'm happy my husband has a place for his things. A place he lost in our fire.

Thank you!

Box arrived and it is beautiful. We still marvel at your beautiful work. Now we really puzzled as to display. It is so beautiful we hesitate to display it with Jewelry. We think a burglar will take the box and leave the Jewelry!! Keep us posted on your activities and think of writing up a book on your sailing adventures. Did you keep a diary? That would help in writing a book!!

Best, Martin Brossman

PS: a new trip up here??

Donald,

The box arrived safely this past week. It is perfect and made all the more special by the message burned into the bottom. Thank you for suggesting that. I am excited to give the gift this coming Sunday.

Don,

I have sent out the picture you took of the trophy base to many people. I have to let you know what some of the comments are.

Wow, Beautiful and Great are the most frequently heard, but when I hear Elegant, Stunning, Outstanding, I know that the viewer is speaking of the trophy as a whole. Many have even mentioned the base alone as being all of those. Every time I look at it I'm pleased at the work of art you created.

Thanks again. Good luck in Chicago.

Hi Don,

It just occurred to me that I never communicated how much my wife loved the jewelry box. Every night when she takes her jewelry off and places it in the box, she comments how beautiful it is. Thanks!

Donald, Just wanted to drop you a line to let you know that my daughter, Jennifer was thrilled to get the box you made. She had no idea that a little box like that could be so beautiful. Please keep up the good work and hopefully one day I will be buying one from you for my Granddaughter. Thanking you again, Sam.

Mr. Boudreau,

I just received the jewelry box that I ordered and wanted to thank you.

The box is beautiful, particularly since so few things are made by hand these days. I look forward to having it around for a long, long time.
