Testimonials

We love to hear what past clients think of our work. Here is a collection of these thoughts.

George made a BEAUTIFUL table for us! I actually originally got the dimensions wrong but loved it so much I had him make us another one! He took the design I had in my head and made it come to life. Highly recommend!

From concept, to design and detail, George is an expert. I found him to be a very engaging partner in bringing out the beauty in the wood I had found. In this case it was eastern cherry. I had seen a dining table that had beautiful style and proportions. Based upon a picture, George worked meticulously to create a full sized ‘replica’ in poplar and other woods to make sure all the joinery was sufficient before working with the highly figured cherry. George is a natural problem solver as he progresses steadily through his process. He finished the project within the agreed timeframe. Beyond his obvious skills, George demonstrates great care in the work he does. I consider the table an heirloom-that’s what George creates!

After the Holiday Farm Fire we saved some of the planks of our burned down trees to use in rebuilding. We had a vision for some of these planks to build a new dining room table and a design in our dream, but could not find the right person to trust with this project. Our son did some electrical work for George and said, “Mom you’ve got to call this guy! He does amazing stuff!” We did, Showed George what we had in mind and voila! An absolutely stunning piece!! He worked real magic for us. The details and care he took was amazing. He knew the wood was irreplaceable and worked meticulously to build our dream to fruition! Thank you George! Please trust George with your project!

I found George via the Internet and was wanting to have a California King bed frame I could easily vacuum underneath. My existing bed frame had drawers underneath it and it was impossible to vacuum without taking everything apart. George designed and built a beautiful platform bed frame that matches the rest of the furniture in the room. I asked him if we could use the headboard from my original bed and it’s just absolutely PERFECT. This new bed frame is built to last, easy to clean under it, and I’ll be keeping it forever. He’s a very talented designer and woodworker and I can’t recommend him enough. If I could give 10 stars, I would!

George is a phenomenal craftsman with an impeccable eye for detail. Everything he makes exudes so much care, skill, and excellence. I feel incredibly lucky to have worked with him on multiple pieces of furniture that will last my lifetime, including a dining room table with bench and chairs, and a credenza to hold my vinyl records. Everything is gorgeous, and I can’t think of a more genuine or awesome person to have worked with.
— K Walker
We highly recommend George Ayres work.

We requested a custom-made Credenza, based off a design my wife drew up. The dimensions were lofty, so the piece was going to be quite large. He more than delivered. The Credenza, made from Jatoba, was high quality hardwood will gold inlays and hardware. It is heirloom quality in production. The Credenza was feature on his front page for some time.

George was fantastic to work with and we had a ton of fun bringing our piece to life. It was uncanny how well he created the look. We love the piece and hope to one day have another amazing piece done by George. We highly recommend working with Him for a custom piece. You will not be disappointed.

George is an amazing craftsperson, and I’m happy to be a repeat customer (and already scheming up other ideas). Most recently, he made a beautiful desk in a Danish mid-century modern style with floating drawers for me. The initial conversations were easy, professional, and George was very helpful in guiding me through the process and turning my vague ideas into an incredible piece. His impeccable attention to details, grain, wood choice, and design makes this an instant heirloom piece in our family. Thank you George!
— M Jarvis
I highly recommend George! His work is impeccable, embodying elegance, stunning aesthetics, and incredible levels of craftsmanship. George’s woodworking products are real works of art!

George made a custom built-in wall unit for me. He worked closely with me to understand what I had in mind. During this process, George was professional, knowledgeable and courteous. He was easy to communicate with. He sketched the piece and discussed every part of it. He used quality materials to build the unit, which was then installed to perfection. The attention to detail was unsurpassed. The finished product is absolutely gorgeous!

I was so happy with the wall unit that I decided to commission additional woodworking projects with George. I asked him to build two bookcases, a desk and a chair. Again, George took my original ideas, perfected them and implemented them with such elegance and solidity. The results are absolutely stunning! They are perfect examples of beautiful craftsmanship. Thanks, George!

I am very pleased with the quality of George’s work. Also, these woodwork pieces were completed for a reasonable price. The level of detail and consideration that he applied to these projects is unparalleled. George takes pride in his workmanship, and working with him was a pleasant, seamless and professional experience. I will definitely commission George again for future projects and I would not hesitate to refer him to anybody who is looking for quality woodworks. Call George now; you will not be disappointed.

George is truly a master furniture designer and craftsman. We asked him to make a cabinet to serve a certain purpose. We didn’t know what style we wanted or what woods we preferred. George had photos of our home interior and “went to work “. He came up with an amazing original design and built us a beautiful piece of furniture that will be in our family always.
— M Dickinson
George is an amazing woodworker and craftsman. He has a great eye for aesthetic design and is capable of making your vision come to form. He made me some convertible benches/picnic tables. The quality was top notch.
— C Mathews
George is an artist and has a deep connection to his craft – his work truly speaks for itself. When we met to discuss the piece I was envisioning, he listened carefully and made some suggestions, taking time to lay out a wide range of options. As we talked through the design, George interpreted my vision and the piece began to take shape, developing a life of its own. I left his workshop confident that I would be getting a unique and beautiful heirloom-quality piece of furniture. George was very communicative throughout the entire process. I couldn’t be happier with the piece and am so glad to have met the person who created it. Thank you.
— G Barba
We had asked George to design and make a jewelry cabinet for our store, Bedouin, in Sisters. The attention to detail, the quality and the end result where above and beyond amazing. The communication and timeframe were great.
We would highly recommend George!
— H Thomas
George has built two custom, heirloom-quality furniture pieces that proudly grace our home. It was a great pleasure to work with George to develop designs that matched our aesthetic and functional requirements. We are thrilled with the results. A bonus is that I’ve also learned about furniture design and construction from George!
— M Graybill
George’s work is beautiful. We were fortunate to benefit from his eye for detail, his excellent craftsmanship, and his thoughtful attention to the utility and overall beauty of the furniture he built for our school. Throughout the process of building our furniture, George checked in frequently. He was easy to reach when we had questions, and always got back to us right away. He created something that was more lovely than we could have imagined, right on time and on budget. He is a rare find - a craftsman with a beautiful artistic sense, and who is also dependable, clear, and utterly professional.
— E Swenson
George’s work is second to none. I am fortunate to have multiple pieces of his that will be family heirlooms. His professionalism, creativity, and skill make him an ideal bespoke furniture builder.
— H Van Dale
George is a true professional and master craftsman. We commissioned him to build us a bed (the KRR bed on his blog), and as you can imagine from the pictures and story he wrote on the build, we were thrilled with the result. Superior quality and materials, with extra attention paid to the finest details. We gave George some basic instructions about our vision, but allowed him full creative license to work his magic as he saw fit. The end product was grand beyond our imagination. This is an art piece that will be passed down to future generations, for sure. Thanks again, George!
