Ship
Phil, I just got back home and got the clock and stand delivered. It is beautiful! Thank you so much for making this. It truly is a work of art.
Phil was great to work with long distance because of his communication. He asked for my preferences in the tint color and design. Would definitely go to Phil for future projects.

Keepsake Box as a wedding gift
Phil did an excellent job with my order for a personalized wedding gift. He was prompt and professional throughout the entire process, and he gave me options to help with cost when it came down to making a decision. I decided to go with a keepsake box and when it arrived I was surprised at just how much it smelled of beautiful cedar. Phil also let me provide my own art which he engraved onto the top of the box, and that came out perfectly as well. The shipping time to arrive at my location was VERY quick! He packed it so well, I thought I was getting a shipment of moon rocks. In my opinion, you can't go wrong working with Phil Rasmussen. You will end up with a one-of-a-kind piece of art that you, or your loved one, will always treasure! -- Scott B.

Phil did a great job of explaining the process and providing guidance on next steps.

Phil provided a very detailed project proposal and was willing to make tweaks and revisions to honor my requests. My requests were pretty general but Phil built the project to specs. If I pursued an additional project in the future I'd be more specific and detailed. The wood he recommended was exactly the color I wanted. The shipping process was good as well, the keepsake box arrived in one piece and in great condition. The additional inset tray fit great. Overall, I'm very pleased with this project. I would recommend working with Phil to others. -- Jessica E.

Cedar Keepsake Box
No doubt Phil is a senior Craftsman for any project you bring to the table. Phil was extremely helpful and had many suggestions on making this project just right. He is very personable, communicative and caring for your needs. Being a perfectionist in woodworking myself and since I had Phil construct this build due to my complicated schedule, I must say after our first discussion I had no reservations that my project was going to be completed as if I did it myself. There is no question that his builds are as if he is making it for himself, and in return it did indeed turn out stunning... Not to worry whatever your project, I can tell you his work is extremely detailed and made with great pride. Phil also went out of his way for me to get additional input from his wife, considering I was having this project constructed for a lady co-worker that unexpectedly lost her husband. It was well packed for shipment and was received without a flaw. There is nothing negative I could say or find. Again, his pride is clearly seen through his work. I couldn't be happier. No matter what project you consider to design with Phil, I can tell you he will exceed your expectations. -- Christopher N.

Phil made me a beautiful cedar box that was exactly what I was looking for. I knew immediately he would be the perfect fit to make what I was looking for when he described in detail how he would build what I described, and which materials he could use to achieve the look that I wanted. His communication was always timely and very professional, and he was patient with me when I wasn't immediately able to respond to his messages/inquiries due to illness and a busy schedule. The finished product is just beautiful and turned out better than I first imagined it in my head.
