- Describe a recent project you are fond of. How long did it take?
I was asked to create a storage cabinet for a large collection of women's shoes. The husband was doing this as a surprise gift. The requirements were that it match the existing, country French style bedroom set and be located at the foot of the bed. It should take the form of a bench, but be completely enclosed. The doors had to open in a way that would allow his wife to sit on the bench and open them easily. I designed and built a bench with hand-carved legs that matched the bedroom set. The doors were done in a tambour (think appliance garage door in a kitchen) style, that retracted into the left and right sides of the cabinet. At a capacity of only 28 pairs of shoes, it was only able to contain a small portion of the collection. The client was still very happy with the result.
- What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?
Ask for at least three references. Call them. It's always recommended, but seldom done.
