CLIENT TESTIMONIALS

"We couldn't be happier with our new library! We've received so many complements. The bookshelves are exactly what we envisioned. You listened to our needs and nailed it." ~Pratt & Steven

"Don Shomaker has designed and crafted several important pieces for my home...integral to my home (a restored 1920's home on the National Register). These aren't just "pieces"...they include a table at which I eat and share dinners with friends, cabinets housing a whole house entertainment system in an old paneled den where you can't tell "old" from "new," and a display "beam/shelf" for artwork that is art in itself. I can't recommend Don too highly. He loves and knows wood...his medium of art. He also hears your thoughts, your designer's or architect's. Integrity, artist, craftsman ... that's Don Shomaker". ~Jon Ritt

"Don, I can't tell you how happy we are with our mantel. I know it was a difficult situation, with the stone croppings and mortar, but the finished masterpiece looks like it's been a part of the wall forever! It's beauty and elegance are finishing touches. Even our contractors marvel at the craftsmanship. Thanks so much!" ~Art & Calland
