David designed and built exactly what I imagined, going out of his way to find the right woods. I create at this desk and simply having it enhances my creativity. **★★★★★ — HU-992279253, Oct. 2025** > I’m a little late writing this, but I had to pop in to share what a beautiful job David did with our mudroom hall tree/bookcase. From start to finish, the whole process was smooth and collaborative. He checked in every step of the way to confirm design choices and offer thoughtful suggestions. David truly brought our vision to life, and we’re still in love with it all these years later! Thank you, David, for your incredible craftsmanship and top-notch execution:) **★★★★★ — Aubrey Shipway, May 2025** > We loved working with David so much the first time (our dining table) we asked him to create a One board waterfall table in walnut for our foyer. Once again, he exceeded our expectations. Not only is it exactly what we wanted, and gorgeous in every way, but the care and precision he took in choosing the slab, designing, constructing, delivering and installing it was beyond superb. We're thrilled and would highly recommend working with David!!! **★★★★★ — Brian McGrath, May 2023** > David built bookshelves to my exact specifications, and I couldn’t be happier with the way they turned out. They’re modeled on mid-century shelves I saw in a photograph of an artist’s New York studio. I knew they were exactly what I wanted. David built them to the last detail, even improving on the original by making adjustments for the room in my house where the shelves were installed. He was wonderful to work with, detail oriented and meticulous. I trusted him every step of the way. **Comment from Salisbury Artisans:** > Brian, I enjoyed everything about our project. Thanks for your clarity of idea, the plan and your friendliness. Cheers, David **★★★★★ — Aubrey Shipway, April 2022** > We loved working with David!!! We feel so fortunate that we found David / Salisbury Artisians. We are beyond pleased with the absolutely beautiful work of art. David was thoughtful, proactive, experienced, creative and knowledgeable. He worked with us to select the wood, design to our house/the space and collaborate with us along the way. We were excited to be part of the process and he was happy to make us feel connected the entire time he was creating our beautiful table. Such fond memories will be remembered when we enjoy the gorgeous table. Many many thanks! **Comment from Salisbury Artisans:** > Aubrey, I still have fond memories about the project . Our positive home and shop visits and especially the trip to Berkshire Products, among the giant slabs, enabled the creation of a really special dining table. Thank you, David **★★★★★ — HU-267493663, July 2021** > I had a great experience working with Salisbury Artisans on a large farmhouse style dining table. Once I explained my needs, David had great ideas and we worked together to get the design exactly right. Throughout the building process David confirmed every detail with me including the selection of the wood, finish and measurements so that it would perfectly fit 12 chairs. The finished table exceeded my expectations both because it is well made and beautiful but also because I learned so much and enjoyed the process. **Comment from Salisbury Artisans:** > We found great material and created a beautiful table, thank you! **★★★★★ — Tina Scepanovic, July 2021** > We collaborated with David to bring a vintage table to life, and now we have a one of a kind piece that will be cherished forever! The project was not a simple one, but David was an excellent problem solver and brought decades of experience to the design process. We worked off limited information as we had fewer than a handful of photos to start. There was also an additional challenge of scaling up the design while retaining the proportions and hierarchy of playful elements. With David's initial drawings we hit the ground running. After a few iterations, we moved to a physical mockup with boards and made additional adjustments. David then sourced the most beautiful walnut for our final version and put great thought into arranging the grain in the most harmonious way. Along the way, there was always enlightening conversation as we ran into design issues and how to address them. I learned so much throughout the process! From our first phone call to our very last review, we always felt David was equally as invested in getting things right. And of course, we had a ton of fun along the way. I thoroughly enjoyed working with him and cannot wait to partner again on a future project. **Comment from Salisbury Artisans:** > Thanks for this review. We had one of the beat collaborations ever on this project. We found such perfect walnut. The table came out so very well. The photos show nicely - David **★★★★★ — Dennis & Christine Hosack, Jan. 2019** > My wife and I decided we wanted a slab table made for our new house - we contacted around 8 different furniture makers with a very basic idea. David was one of the eight we got a quote from and it was obvious from the start, David is not your average furniture maker - he has a passion, sincere and deep, to create works of art. Other reviewers have claimed that he made them the most beautiful table, table and chairs, etc., unfortunately those reviewers are wrong - David has created a work of art, in our table, bench, and chairs, that is unlikely to be improved upon, by him or anywhere else, ever!! If you want a unique piece of furniture, done with the utmost professionalism, with fantastic communication and consultation, I cannot believe you can do better than David Bowen and Salisbury Artisans. **Comment from Salisbury Artisans:** > This has been one of my most enjoyable collaborations. I wish you lots of wonderful meals and company around our table! **★★★★★ — Patricia DAlessio, Aug. 2018** > David made us the most beautiful live edge claro walnut dining table. He was with us the whole day when we went to pick out the slab, discussing which slab would work in the space, and what would look best for a base without taking away from the beautiful slab we chose. Through the process, David was always available to answer questions and continually sent us updated photos of the process. The table is stunning and truly an heirloom piece. I highly recommend him for any custom furniture pieces, he is a true artisan. **Comment from Salisbury Artisans:** > Thank you for celebrating the beauty of this great walnut slab in your woodland home and thanks for the review! **★★★★★ — Susan, Feb. 2017** > David built us a GORGEOUS live edge table that you would expect to find in a high-end art gallery. Everyone who enters our home is drawn to the table to examine, admire and even touch it! Truly a work of art. > > David loves to collaborate. From a really fun day picking our maple slab with him to emailing ideas back and forth, David cheerfully partnered with us to merge his creativity and craftsmanship with our ideas. His reverence for the beauty of the wood translated into an incredible treasure in the heart of our home. **Comment from Salisbury Artisans:** > When I was at your house the windows were open to the mountain views and our first warm breeze of the year the table felt like it so belongs right there! We had a lota fun, enjoy many diners. David **★★★★★ — Jason Cholewa, Jan. 2017** > David built a beautiful live edge dining room table for us. From start to finish, the entire experience was remarkable. David guided us through not only the species selection, but also assisted us with picking the actual slab. He has an excellent eye for design and was instrumental in helping us understand seating capacity. > > Throughout the build David provided us with frequent status updates, which included pictures of the table and thorough explanations of next steps. The table was completed within the estimated time frame. > > It came out better than we could have imagined. We will be seeking David's assistance with any and all future projects. **Comment from Salisbury Artisans:** > I had a really good time working with you two as well. We came up with beautifully sequenced walnut boards and I am glad we got the size spot on for your room. > All my best and thanks again, David **★★★★★ — butch1954, Sept. 2016** > We asked David Bowen to create a table based on an antique console/library table that we had seen and wanted to replicate in a larger more functional scale to double as a foyer entry table and dining table in our NYC apartment. > David embraced the project with both gusto and an incredible attention to detail. The final product was scaled to perfection and the finish and workmanship was impeccable. > David was razor focused in making sure he delivered a product that would meet our needs and aesthetic goal. He combined his old world hand finishing craftsmanship with computer modelling to insure that the product had elegant dimensions and provided us with many color samples to reach the desired finish and stain. We are thankful for having worked with such a skilled and caring craftsman. **Comment from Salisbury Artisans:** > Your partnership was really wonderful. We put together what I think is one of my most important pieces.

Please may I have the dimensions of each piece? Thank you for your time. Sincerely, M Brown A: A cabinetmaker should be able to build this from the photo. I don't have access to the physical measurements. Your measurements would be unique. Thanks for the interest, I love this set-up. Good luck! **Q: What type/color and where is the flooring from?** *(in Photo Questions)* A: It is beige with a hint of rose @ 12 x 12. I believe the floor tile was put in before the current owner. **Q: Backsplash** *(in Photo Questions)* What tile was used for the backsplash? A: Irish cream, tumbled limestone. Stacked with no grout. **Q: What kind of oven is this?** *(in Photo Questions)* A: 44" AGA Legacy. A beautiful range, it's width is perfect, so much better than 48" for many kitchens. **Q: Stove** *(in Photo Questions)* What brand is the stove in this project? A: This is a great range. Beautiful and a nice width for designing a range wall. **Q: Backsplash** *(in Photo Questions)* Can you provide the height and some dimensions on this backsplash I have a customer wanting to do similar. Thank you, De A: The dimension I have is from a sketch for the electric layout. It show the splash was 10"h x 50" long. From the photo it looks like the final splash was a little higher than 10" If you draw it out you should be able to measure what looks good to you. --- *Source: Houzz professional profile.
