Project scope
Sorry this pro can’t do your job, but we know other pros who can.
Introduction: COMMITMENT As a veteran owned small business, I bring over thirty years of fine wood craft experience to every project that I accept a commission for. Each and every piece that I create is to an exceptional standard that I would expect for my home or personal office. Being a discerning buyer and critical builder, I am focused on quality and craftsmanship and I do not settle for products that are designed to be "box type" factory items. Each and every piece that is built is handcrafted with an eye towards perfection and long-term satisfaction. A SHOP IN THE WOODS With a passion for creating in wood, I moved from being a corporate exec to small veteran owned business owner. I hope you enjoy the results of my efforts and commitment to providing you with quality creations for your enjoyment and pleasure. STORY Only quality and beauty is offered by Leopard Designs. The design and creation of beautiful custom crafted wood furniture, desk, shelving, cabinets and toys for your home or office. As a child and growing up, I had the opportunity to learn from my father the building, repairing and the finishing of everything from kitchen chairs to a classic home library. Working with wood provided me with an ability to visualize, design, build and finish unique projects. This ability transferred to my professional career in corporate sales and business development. After many years as a senior corporate executive, I was afforded the opportunity to turn one passion other than my family, into a veteran owned small business. The designing, creating and finishing of unique wood items is a joy that I share by only building for my customers something that I take pride in. Everything is handcrafted in the studio with a focus on quality and beauty and only leaves once I am satisfied that it will stand the long term satisfaction of a discerning client. Please contact me if your desire is to have something that is unique and not to be copied in other homes of offices. From the items that are shown on our page to a custom design and build to meet your specification and desires you have found the right place see your dream in reality.

A couple years ago, I decided to paint my furniture white and put new pulls on them. It served me well for awhile but let's face it, I didn't do a great job and I really wanted something more modern. The truth is they just don't make furniture like they used to and I wanted to find a way to bring what I had into the 21st century. Out with the scalloping, in with the clean lines! That's where Leopard Designs came in and made all of my dreams come true! Craig was so great to work with. He let me be the the creative director on the project but gave really great suggestions and guidance where needed. He was communicative throughout the whole process and kept me updated along the way. I highly recommend using him for any wood furniture needs you may have. I couldn't be more happy with the way everything turned out. See before and after photos!

Working with Craig was seamless and the work he did was exactly what I was looking for. I would certainly hire him again for similar work.

I gave Leopard two antique ornate side tables of great sentimental value. He was able to restore them to be works of art with careful attention to the details of construction and of the grains of the woods used. I cannot imagine a better job of restoration.

Craig was the utmost professional. We got so lucky to work with Craig, he kept us informed throughout the entire process, worked with our needs and made sure we were happy with the end product. We had Craig help us finish a table and he made the table look spectacular, we look forward to using it for decades. I appreciate that craig was patient with us about making decisions on the stain, finish and style that we wanted; he even stopped by to show us samples to make sure we were happy. I do not regret booking craig and look forward to working with him in the future.

I am a person with many years’ experience building furniture; therefore, I know quality woodwork and can judge the level of work performance. I acted as the general contractor and built my home over 20 years ago. Over the time, the front doors worn to the point they required refinishing. I contacted Craig at Leopard Designs and gave him the job to refinish the two eight foot doors. The exterior of the doors required a great deal of sanding by hand. I love to admire beautifully finished wood, if done right it is a work of art. Craig has produced a work of art and the front doors once again standout drawing your attention to the center of our home. I also gave him a job to reconfigure five conference room tables for my work. Once again, he did an outstanding job on time and within budget. His pricing is fair and he gets the job done without aggravation. If you have, refinishing and woodwork call Leopard Designs and you will not be disappointed.
