Recommendation Letter

from Andrea and Greg

Babich

Andrea and Greg commissioned a set of four Hepplewhite style tables and a matching mirror for their living room .  I received this letter from Andrea after they took delivery of the set. Andrea & Greg Babich State College, PA May 16, 2012 Dear David, We can’t stop admiring our new living room furniture!  We often retire to the living room after dinner and simply study the details in our Hepplewhite end tables and console.  From conception to finished products, our experience working with you on this project far exceeded our very high expectations. After researching wood types and furniture styles, we found your website and liked the variety and clear craftsmanship of the samples featured there.  Greg and I especially liked the Hepplewhite end tables and decided to create an entire living room suite based on those.  Greg had a few specifications in mind when we approached you with this project.  Highly figured wood, single-board tabletops, and natural stains topped our list of desirable features that simply can not be found in our local furniture stores.  You assured Greg that you could find wood that creates an impressive display.   In addition, you were not only able to find single boards for the table tops but also boards that  were cut from the same tree, guaranteeing matching color and grain patterns. We were not disappointed when we saw the finished products!  The beauty of the woods you used surpasses any we have seen.  The tiger maple tabletops boast stunning honey-gold stripes while the cherry frames continue to darken to a warm russet.  Admirers of the furniture  (all of our guests!) immediately note your attention to detail and craftsmanship in the perfectly fitted drawers, the exquisite dovetail joiners, and wooden peg joiners.  We love that you work to preserve authentic design details of period pieces even when it would be easier to use modern techniques.          As much as we enjoy the furniture you built, we enjoyed working with you on this project.  From Greg’s first conversation with you, he knew that you were a man of integrity, skill, and creativity.  In a world where too often he’s told “you can’t do that,” it was refreshing to find someone who gladly accepted the challenge to meet our specifications and advise us on how to bring our vision to life.  From beginning to end, it was a pleasure working with you, and we look forward to starting our next project with you. Thank you for your dedication to your craft and your accommodating manner.  We’ll be in touch soon. Sincerely, Andrea and Greg Babich
