Introduction: I use a lot of imagination to problem solve. My designs are innovative and unusual, utilizing the esthetic qualities of different species of wood. Besides designing contemporary pieces, I also design period pieces or pieces to match the decor. I also work well with architects and interior designers. Rising to the challenge. Working with my hands as a meditation.

Custom built in bookshelves. The experience was a total nightmare. We paid for materials, paid for his time. He never delivered.

I needed an exterior door replaced. But before that could be done, a lot of planning had to be done. It needed framing, which led to a series of things that needed to be done before the door could be hung. That's where Michael Childs' ability not only as a carpenter, but his creative thinking came in. He was able to take a job that might've stumped someone else. He was able to resolve the problem and I know a door that is hung properly. Michael Childs showed up at the time we agreed upon, and I will use his services again. Michael is an artistic woodworker and carpenter. Having a good experience, at the moment, I can't think of a thing to improve your service except I hope your craftsman is as good.

Artistry in Wood's reply

Nelkane was/is very good customer. She was involved with the work. She understood the problems. She was supportive, kindly, intelligent. She paid me promptly. When I ended up working extra hours because of the complexity of the job, she volunteered to pay me extra. You can't do better than that.

Great experience! MIchael did fantastic work and was able to accomplish our complicated wood design in the very tight time line that we gave him. I definitely recommend him!

Very meticulous in detail and very professional. Michael's talent and commitment to doing the job correctly should not be underestimated. Detailed craftsmanship takes time and the finished product is something that will last (and be cherished) for generations. The boys enjoy thier new corner beds
