It is stunning and exceeded our expectations. Dennis was a delight to deal with: honest, straightforward and engaging. The quality of his carpentry and installation was outstanding. People have driven by the house, stopped their car and come and asked who made for it us. A year later they are still standing strong and looking better than ever. We highly recommend Wiederhold Creations for any woodworking project! **★★★★★ — Troy Turner, Jan. 2019** > Dennis is both a professional and an artist. He listened to my wife’s and my needs when it came to building a gate for the entrance of our Longboat Key home. Dennis used beautiful and quality materials such as old cypress wood, copper and brass. If I were to ever need some special carpentry for a future gate or door, not doubt I would ask Dennis to perform the job. Everyday as we drive through our home entrance we are admire the custom beautiful gate. **★★★★★ — heather wrigley, June 2017** > Wiederhold creations made us a front door and gate for our 1926 Spanish Mediterranean style home. We showed him sketches of what we were looking for and he was able to make our sketches come to life. Wiederhold Creations delivers on everything he says he is going to do. He makes sure all aspects of the job are correct and go smoothly. He takes tremendous pride in his work and the finished product is impeccable. We couldn't be happier and highly recommend this company. **★★★★★ — HU-124169, Sept. 2016** > Dennis was highly professional and his craftsmanship is exceptional. I would use his services for all of our woodworking needs and unconditionally recommend Dennis to friends and family. **★★★★★ — Drew Appelt-Browne, Nov. 2015** > My husband and I recently purchased a new home with a kitchen eating area that would allow for a large table to sit 8-10 people. We had a vision of what we wanted and Dennis Wiederhold made our vision come to life. It was perfect! > When we first met Dennis we brought him a photo of what we had in mind. The table would have a wood base and a stainless steel top. He listened to us very carefully and explained to us how he would make it. He got in touch with a vendor that does wonderful stainless steel work and coordinated everything so that we only needed to work with him which was a delight. Through out the process Dennis kept us up to date on the timeline via e-mail, sent photos and had us come out to select the stain we wanted for the base. His carpentry skills are amazing and his enthusiasm for what he does makes the entire process exciting and fun. If you are looking for a carpenter to make your vision come to life, call Dennis Widerjold. **★★★★★ — Schumann Glass Art, Sept. 2015** > I contracted Wiederhold creations to design and build a custom old growth cyprus door. > the finished product was beautifully crafted and delivered as promised, I have seen several > projects produced by this company and was very much impressed with the creative way > they were accomplished. **★★★★★ — rmillman68, Nov. 2014** > Dennis Wiederhold created the perfect front door for our new, mid-century-modern home in St Petersburg. The solid white-oak door is 8 foot by 42 inches and includes a series of horizontal glass inserts. His workmanship is excellent, he delivered the door on schedule, and went above and beyond to ensure the door was finished and installed to perfection, adjoining the ledgestone exterior and interior walls. The look and feel of opening this door makes visitors feel welcome and secure in entering a well built, artfully constructed home. **★★★★★ — messmere, March 2014** > Creative and detailed, Wiederhold shows in-depth knowledge of wood types and has the expertise to tackle design challenges for a sucessful outcome in woodwork projects. The custom-designed wood fence and gate he built and installed to shield a pool heater from view became a beautiful and enduring design element associated with the house. It was a fairly complex project carried out with skill and openess to ideas. **★★★★★ — User, March 2014** > Dennis is an exceptional woodworker, artist & analytical thinker who never ceases to amaze! As a close neighbor, friend, & customer of his I get to see the passion he has for his craft up close. From his long road trips looking for special woods, to his incredible woodworking skill & true artistry which includes beautiful hand drawn design, carving, distressing, glass infusion, & all types of complicated joinery, to the way he then tests his products by beating them up & setting them around his property in the weather with little dates & codes on each piece. Dennis is the kind of passionate craftsman you need when pouring your heart & soul into a project. One conversation with him & you'll know what I mean. > > Jeff Gilchrist > Bradenton, FL. **★★★★★ — jzigulich, Dec. 2013** > You don't see this type of old world craftsmanship much these days. If you want a quality product Wiederhold creations is an excellent source. We'd definitely have them do more work for us. **★★★★★ — agtoy4719, Oct. 2013** > Dennis is a consummate craftsman. Besides his strong design skills, he takes the time to choose wood he uses to blend the woods intrinsic character to his work. He balances linear and curvilinear to add dynamism and flow. Best of all, he really listens to his customers and actualizes their practical needs with grace and beauty. His works are provide function but with such beautiful, balance and grace. **★★★★★ — ecwebb54, June 2013** > I had Dennis build a door that the wife and I had been dreaming of for years. He used old growth cypress with a glass swamp scene that turned out beautifully. I had talked to Dennis at length about what I wanted and he knew just want I wanted and delivered the door of our dreams. I could not be happier with the door or with the way that Dennis handled my concerns. The quality and craftsmanship is second to none!!!!!! > > Thanks Dennis for a job well done. > > Connor Webb ## Selected projects - [Concealed firearm cabinet for collector](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/concealed-firearm-cabinet-for-collector-pj-vj~7813643) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 3 - [Bamboo gate with fencing](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/bamboo-gate-with-fencing-pj-vj~354191) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 3 - [Custom Wood Gates](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/custom-wood-gates-pj-vj~7808987) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 18 - Description: Sapele hardwood and Cypress wooden gates - [Custom Driveway Gates](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/custom-driveway-gates-pj-vj~2660739) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 5 - Description: Wooden driveway gates made for the Florida climate. - [Wood outdoor structures](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/wood-outdoor-structures-pj-vj~460993) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 9 - [Garden and Pedistrian Wood Gates .](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/garden-and-pedistrian-wood-gates-pj-vj~1596823) - Location: Bradenton, FL - Photos: 35 - [Decorative Wood Wall](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/decorative-wood-wall-pj-vj~1730060) - Location: Bradenton, FL - Photos: 2 - [Wood Room Dividers](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/wood-room-dividers-pj-vj~1708939) - Location: Bradenton, FL - Photos: 2 - [Reclaimed virgin Old Growth Cypress](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/reclaimed-virgin-old-growth-cypress-pj-vj~365436) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 10 - [Old growth cypress doors](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/old-growth-cypress-doors-pj-vj~172212) - Location: Longoat key, FL - Photos: 9 - Description: These doors are made from very old cypress i gather from sources in northern Florida..

Love it. A: Your lucky you caught me at PC .. that person is me ,Dennis Wiederhold ..i actually designed and made three of these for same client on Anna Maria Island, Fl. about 5 years ago .. We just did finishing maintenance on them and they look as good as the day we installed them ..if your interested in something like this or similar your best to contact me through my email to begin with . **Q: Where did you purchase the bamboo. 1" or 2" diameter?** *(in Photo Questions)* A: that bamboo job in photo was my first ...but i knew well enough to design wood part to be easily taken apart so bamboo could be replaced.. Here in Florida expect no more than seven years ,maybe less for bamboo.... drainage is key ...plus there are other things that can be done to make your project be successful..i learned a lot from that project .. **Q: I am looking for a gate rim latch with lever handle for my new gate.** *(in Photo Questions)* Could you please tell me about the hardware on this gate.
