5 out of 5 starsWe have been struggling with cutting our homemade sourdough bread. So, we decided to try one of these bread knives. The craftsmanship is beautiful and makes slices our sourdough so much easier! Wish I had ordered one sooner.

5 out of 5 starsVery high quality work and it came well-packaged. Missy was very friendly and diligent in getting me the info I needed to ship it properly. The frame itself is solid and high quality. The wood grain is very pretty. All the corners are finished nicely and smooth to the touch. It goes very well with my rustic cabin style, without seeming unfinished like rustic decor often does.
On the back, I had to trim the corners of a mat and the photos to get them into the frame because the router made rounded corners rather than square corners which meant I had to select photos I didn't mind trimming to put in the frame.
Now that I've seen this frame, I plan to buy another bowtie shape and the larger pinwheel to make a whole collage wall. Thank you Missy and Zim! -

5 out of 5 starsI needed a specific size of frames and I couldn’t find them anywhere until I came across this Etsy shop. They made exactly what I needed and my frames fit in their space perfectly! The seller was very easy to communicate with.

5 out of 5 starsIt's absolutely gorgeous, and I love the craftsmanship behind it. I love that each photo has an individual cover, unlike commercially sold collages where the whole back has to be removed to replace photos. I'm using this to display military portraits of the veterans in my family.

This customer creates beautiful stained glass work. Gerry created this custom wood frame so that this piece could hang.

This stunning glass bowl was used in their great-great grandparents wedding! They needed a way to display it!
-
We use all available space for drying after they get a coat of varnish! Love it when the weather is nice!

It's a good thing that our son Max is getting near to being 6 feet tall since some of these frames are big!

Sometimes the custom idea a customer has turns into something we like! Now Weathered Gray stain is one of the options!
It's Important to Like What You Do
This shop is a natural offshoot of Gerry's initial profession. He was a General Contractor for building and remodeling homes for over 40 years. Since he offered custom cabinetry building, he had a woodshop. He had added to and grown his woodshop over the years to the point where it was ready for him to make the switch from remodeling homes to working on items for this shop. He has always been the go-to guy for family and friends. If it is made out of wood, then Gerry can make it! Make it he has, and in the process he has discovered a natural talent and interest for all things wood.
I am happy to say that we truly enjoy the work we do. As Gerry always likes to say, "I make sawdust". He does help me with other aspects of the selling process when I need it, but overall, it is a great division of labor!
We enjoy the customers that visit our store in the Etsy community. That is the beauty of this handmade community - our interactions with customers feel as if we are talking face-to-face in a small shop. If you don't see what you were dreaming of, then let us know what you would like Gerry to create for you!
