"I have been working with Jim designing and installing fine cabinetry and furniture for close to 20 years now. Along the way Jim has taught me and my colleagues a great deal of the ins and outs of custom wood working, exotic finishes, proper detailing, and implementing difficult custom designs for our clients. He has always stepped into a project with an attitude that is “well it’s complicated but let’s sit and figure this one out”. As difficult as the process can be due to the demands that we put on ourselves for something unique or some special detail for our projects, it’s easier when you have a skilled craftsman like Jim who, sometime effortlessly, makes it all come together." - John L.
