### All 8 reviews

**★★★★★ — Carol Herrmann, Sept. 2019**

> Rick and Chris designed, built, and installed a beautiful display case (with interior lighting!) and cabinet in my dining area as well as a handsome, yet flexible, bookcase in my small study.  Their vision, attention to detail,  and commitment to quality work exceeded my expectations!  I also appreciated that the project came in on budget!

**★★★★★ — terrymason1963, July 2013**

> I have worked with Chris on dozens of projects over the last 5 years or so.
> Very talented, good communication, and very organized.
>
> As a designer it's important for me to find craftsmen that know how to collaborate.... Chris is that guy.
>
> Whether the project is small or large, the amount of attention to detail is the same.

**★★★★★ — Ruger Associates, July 2013**

> I have worked with Chris on several projects over the past few years. From designing and producing fine furniture, building all sorts of cabinetry, and helping repair clients dear wooden possessions, Chris has always completed the task with great insight, professionalism and humor. I would especially recommend that you take advantage of his expertise in producing one of a kind furniture pieces.

**★★★★★ — Realty of Maine, July 2013**

> Chris is a talented professional who has superior woodworking talents complimented by a great eye for design.  With only brief discussions he can turn your ideas into a beautiful reality. He's very customer friendly and easy to talk to about fine woodworking on all different levels. He can also bring new ideas to the table that are tailored to your particular style.  He's on the cutting edge of modern design but also intimately familiar with period pieces.   If you are looking for the true quality and craftsmanship that Mainers have become known for I would highly recommend Chris.  We are so happy with our kitchen project and will be for years to come.

**★★★★★ — crjoslin, July 2013**

> Chris Gray is a superb craftsman!  Chris worked on many components of our new house construction, ranging from tables, cabinetry, stairs and railings,  wine closet and creative shelving, and a screened porch.  His design work is systematic, creative, problem solving and artistic.  We love all the many components of the house that he worked on.  And he is a pleasure to have around!  5 stars!  We hugely recommend Chris Gray Furniture.

**★★★★★ — robinrioux, June 2013**

> Rick Sawyer built me a beautiful bookshelf  made from solid curly maple with a gleaming shellac finish.  I couldn't be more pleased! The piece is a clear stand out in my room and has been very popular with my guests. The shelf is even beautiful when exposed from the back, showing a delicate paneling, which reveals the silky warm grain of the maple. Every detail is a testament to Rick's outstanding craftsmanship and his eye for beauty.  I hope to accumulate more of his work in the near future!

**★★★★★ — janemlen, June 2013**

> Ric Sawyer earns 5 stars from us. From the very beginning of the project of remodeling our kitchen he was a great listener, open to our (sometimes unusual) ideas, yet also confident in presenting his own recommendations. He had a wonderful way of making us comfortable in all discussions.
>
> Ric is extremely talented, and gained our total confidence early on, both in skill and artistry. He was diligent and always respectful of our needs and deadlines.
>
> Though the project was completed 2 years ago, every day we love our kitchen more, thanks to Ric. He is a pleasure to work with and we give him our highest recommendation.

**★★★★★ — pcoastline, May 2013**

> Our kitchen was remodeled by Rick Sawyer.  Rick's attention to details were even appreciated by the company that installed our granite counter tops.  It made the installations of the counter tops go smoothly and quickly.
>
> Rick was always respectful toward our thoughts on how our kitchen should be redone but he was also very good at providing suggestions that we would have never thought of .  This was much appreciated.
>
> To say we love our new kitchen is an under statement!  And we continue to receive compliments on how our kitchen project turned out..

## Community Q&A

**Q: Beautiful Cabinets** *(in Photo Questions)*

What is the finish on the cabinets? I am looking for a very matte finish on ash. Wondering if you have something to recommend. Thanks!!

A: That particular finish was spec'd by the architect and was from woca--found here at http://www.wocadirect.com/
Good luck.

**Q: Price?** *(in Photo Questions)*

A: This item was sold but we at Blue Hill Cabinet & Woodwork can make another one.

**Q: Old kitchen** *(in Photo Questions)*

What is the color of the cabinets?

A: I believe it is Vale Mist by Benjamin Moore Paints.

**Q: What brand of paint do you use?  What is the name of the color?** *(in Photo Questions)*

Gorgeous!

A: Thank you.  The color is a Sherwin Williams color, called, I believe, "Agate Green."   It was in one of their colonial palette collections a few years ago.

**Q: Where was this marble sink from?** *(in Photo Questions)*

A: I have no regrets but it is not in my house :D......  I haven't seen it since I built the cabinets and had the "stone guy" build the sink.  He discussed with my client the pros and cons of a marble counter-top and sink.  I remember when he talked about how the marble can get stained, he made the point that it still looked like marble, just nicely stained marble, marble with a real life patina.  My client was more than pleased with the marble sink, but I have no idea how she feels about it today or how it looks now.

**Q: What color is the stain?** *(in Photo Questions)*

A: Amber shellac.
