I reached out to Aaron to create a custom gun cabinet to my husband's specifications. The final product he delivered was one of a kind, beautifully made and spectacular. Covid19 delayed the delivery of the cabinet but it was so worth the wait. I would highly reccomend Aaron for anything you want specially built. Delivery was handled by Aaron and his son. We did not have to lift a finger to help. They put it exactly where we wanted it. All the extra details he put into the cabinet was very impressive.

So enjoyed working with Aaron at Rugged Cross on numerous projects over the past 1 1/2 years. The original project was an arts and crafts-style standing desk. This required a whole host of considerations - regarding style v. function, height, etc. Aaron and I exchanged dozens of emails, and the end result is just beautiful. We then turned to a live-edge conference table - smaller than the standard conference table that occupies an entire room, but more formal than a kitchen table. Aaron invited me and the family to assist in picking out the wood. The end result is exactly what we were going for - distinctive and versatile. We receive compliments on it regularly. Finally, we have been utilizing the scraps from the table project for a variety of other things - end tables, etc. Finished works can be seen at http://www.ruggedcrossfineartwoodworking.com/furniture.html All were delivered and installed, and some were displayed in the local Fine Arts Show (to very favorable reviews). Thanks Aaron, for your craftsmanship and your creativity.

Rugged Cross (Aaron) built a custom apothecary table for me to store CD' s and DVD's. The piece is featured on their website home page. Aaron is a true craftsman in every sense of the word. He worked very closely with me during the creative process to assure the end result yielded a beautiful and functional piece. Pictures and progress reports via e-mail were provided as the table was crafted and the ability to follow the build process was interesting and reassuring. In the end the craftsmanship, attention to detail and quality of construction at a fair price was outstanding. I did not know Aaron when we started this venture so it was a leap of faith of sorts and the entire experience exceeded my expectations. I strongly recommend anyone interested in commissioning furniture or art start with Rugged Cross.

Rugged Cross has built several custom shelving units for the Black Earth Public Library. As you can see, they worked within the existing styles, and in some cases, had to create new solutions to work around discontinued materials. The workmanship and quality of materials is outstanding. It gives our space a unique and warm feel. Working with Rugged Cross is great because they are so customer-service oriented, friendly and professional.

Aaron Made a Mission style bedroom set from a picture I sent him. This set is exactly like I requested it to be made. His quality is superb and attention to detail is remarkable. Craftsmanship of this caliber is not found in any store. To find a man in his 30's that has this talent is a rare find in this era of staples and plastic. This set will last for generations to come!

Aaron is certainly a professional woodcrafter and his products speak for themselves! It must be close to six or seven years ago when I was looking for someone to handcraft a bedroom suite for me. I searched the internet and happened across Aaron's website. I looked at his product photos read the reviews, and compared other websites. With a name like Rugged Cross Fine Art Woodworking who could go wrong. I emailed Aaron and talked with him on the phone letting him know what I was hoping for. I entrusted him with a significant amount of my money and trust and have never regretted it. Aaron created an heirloom quality bedroom suite with bed (headboard/footboard), mirrored dresser/chest, and two nighttables and delivered these to my home. They are solid, beautiful, and of superior craftmanship. Although I have only met Aaron one time, i have no hesitation recommending his work. If you are looking for quality, look no further. Check his website and speak to Aaron. He can create just what you are looking for and do so with the utmost precision and handcrafted woodworking skill.
