I love to see people who are happy with the finished product. This solid maple table with turned pedestal base looks great in this breakfast nook! Thanks, Ken and Suzanne, for the opportunity to make this piece for you.

Mark has been very busy in the workshop for the past several weeks. 😊We’ll be sharing some photos of his latest projects over the next week or two.

Check out this entertainment center with barn door accents. Don’t you think the owner did a fabulous job with the decor? We do! The whole look is just beautiful! We are thrilled that the owner is very happy with her custom piece.

I (Karen) have wanted a pie safe for quite a while but never had the space for one in my kitchen. Decided to ask Mark to build a shorter version of a typical pie safe to fit in our breakfast area. I. Just. Love. It! Let us know what you think. He can customize to fit your space and taste.

Two special Christmas presents were ordered and we couldn’t post them earlier but wanted to share them now. The first one is a porch swing (Annie approved!) for a very sweet lady. The second is a bowl Mark turned out of walnut from a tree taken from the lot adjacent to the chapel at First Baptist Church Spartanburg.

One of Mark's favorite pastimes is spending time on the lathe. He was introduced to woodturning by his brother, Ted, who has created some truly exquisite pieces. Mark turned these two bowls recently, both from local wood.

Sorry, friends, that it has been so long since we have posted on our page. Life has been crazy for us recently, as we're sure it has been for many of you too! Mark has been busy in the shop on projects both big and small...more to come about those over the course of the next few days. Today, we'd like to share about probably the most special project Mark has ever completed. Many of you may know that his mom recently passed away. What you may not know is that he had the opportunity to build one last gift for his mom...one made truly out of love and one that she will have forever. He also had two previous opportunities to build such beautiful honored pieces- one for my brother, Bob Cromer, and one for my uncle, Bill Cromer. Mom Huminski's features an eagle representing her Polish heritage. Bob served as a pilot in the US Air Force so his bears the USAF insignia; he is buried in Arlington. Uncle Bill's has the SC National Guard insignia. Mark is thankful that he has had the opportunity to build such special pieces for people that we love.

Mark enjoyed this particular project...creating a quilt rack from parts of a crib. What a wonderful way to turn a special piece of furniture into a family heirloom!

One of my favorite pieces is the table Mark made for our breakfast area. Of course, there is a story! When we moved into our new house three years ago, I wanted a new table with chairs to match. The dilemma - Mark was willing to make the table but not the chairs (too time consuming...he was still finishing the house and working full-time. I guess that was a good reason!). He finally agreed to let me purchase the whole set at a furniture store...this was a BIG deal. I never purchased any furniture made of wood. So, we began looking and finally found a store that had "potential ". The salesman was eager to help us until I told him that I wanted the top of one table, the base of another, and the chairs from a third set. Mark just shook his head as the salesman said, "Mam, that's not how it usually works!" In the end, we were actually able to purchase a base and chairs separately and Mark made the rest. He customized the perfect table for me and can for you too!

Mark made this wooden horse for our son, Daniel, over 30 years ago. It’s still providing hours of enjoyment by our youngest grandson. Perfect Christmas gift! (Cute grandson not included! 🤣)
