We had a few ideas for the project and he helped to make them better. He also cares very much about his work and wants to make it prefect. We were very satisfied and looking forward to the next project. **★★★★★ — hrobspar, July 2015** > I contacted Ron via the Internet to build a custom console for our basement. After providing him with some dimensions and a bit of input about our general design preference, Ron created an AMAZINGLY BEAUTIFUL console that is the centerpiece of our family "hang out space"! His craftsmanship is wonderful! I especially like Ron's ability/talent to choose reclaimed woods and stains that compliment whatever type of look you're going for...rustic, modern, etc. He is a true artist and an honest, hard-working person. I would not hesitate at all to ask him to build us another piece of furniture in the future! ## Selected projects - [Rustic Reclaimed Wall Mounted Media Center](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/rustic-reclaimed-wall-mounted-media-center-pj-vj~2006726) - Location: Evanston, IL - Photos: 6 - [Rustic reclaimed wood breakfast tray](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/rustic-reclaimed-wood-breakfast-tray-pj-vj~2006647) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 4 - [Reclaimed grey oak industrial dining console](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/reclaimed-grey-oak-industrial-dining-console-pj-vj~1200921) - Location: Evanston, IL - Photos: 6 - Description: Old growth reclaimed barn wood is combined with custom-made metal legs to transform this into a modern industrial classic.
