Bradley Gray, Woodworker - Rome Hill Studio

Brad Gray made and installed interior oak wood walls, doors, storage shelving, benches, display case, cabinets, library shelves and conference table for the museum's new Eulett Center conference and office center in Adams County Ohio. Brad is an extremely talented woodworker both for one of a kind pieces like tables, chairs and railings to houses from the ground up. He is very reliable and thorough.

Mr. Gray has done person work for me and work for our office building. He did some repair for an old family dining table and did a built in kitchen island with a pull away table that holds my stove, a bookcase and storage cabinet. It is a beautiful piece with a natural two inch thick apple top on it that matches the table. At the office he built conference table and built in cabinets and a podium. In all instances he was prompt, respectful of the customers needs and wants, and fair priced. I would highly recommend him to anyone.

Brad has done work for us on various home improvement projects for over 20 years. He did our kitchen cabinets, then a cedar and pine staircase and loft in our old home and we loved the work. When we decided to design and build new we enlisted Brad for help with design and his ideas brought the home together. He worked with us throughout the project and most notably to get oak harvested on the house site sawn and dried in his kiln so that it could be used for live edge trim, stairs and a breakfast nook. We get many compliments on the work and really appreciate all he has done for us. Beautiful craftsmanship... Highly recommended.

Our organization and myself, personally, have worked with Brad Gray and Rome HiIl Studio on numerous occasions. Brad is not a woodworker, he is a wood artist. In this modern era of uniformity and mass production, Brad's work is a refreshing and inspiring alternative. He selects, dries, and custom cuts every wood fiber that he uses. He releases the unique beauty of not only each tree species that he uses, but each tree's individual character, showing how a tree's past hardships can become its highest beauty. if requested to do so, he uses not only the heartwood and the "perfect" sections of the wood fiber, but the imperfect parts of the tree -- the sapwood and the bark . If you are tired of the oak, poplar, and pine at your local lumber store, Brad can help you "go native" and discover the dozens of beautiful native trees that are under-utilized and undervalued, from dogwood to hornbeam to honey locust.
