MY FAVORITE CUSTOMER
My favorite customer is one who is able to communicate clearly what they like and what is important to them. Photos, sketches, or doodles are always helpful. Often I’ll offer suggestions about project elements due to the availability of material, hardware, and more importantly, construction. How the item is built and the wood that’s selected will determine the longevity of the proposed heirloom.
Price has a direct influence on the construction of a project. When it comes to charging for a piece, I always assume that the client wants the best. That is what I want to give, my best and that means dovetails, and mortises with tenons (not butt joints and staples). (The same goes for particleboard and plywood. I use particle board or plywood only for templates and patterns.)
Ultimately, I want to appreciate the feel of the wood and see the glow as I complete the finishing touches of each piece. The cost is commensurate with the quality of the joinery and details that enhance each piece. Expect nothing less!
If you think we can work together, give me a call and we’ll set up an appointment and get to know one another.
