As the co-founder of CustomMade, I know a lot of really talented woodworkers. But when it came time to get a coffee table for our offices, there was no question that Brian McAlpine was the man for the job. For one, I love his clean style and the way that his pieces let the wood speak for itself. Also, Brian is a young guy in an older industry, and I strongly believe in supporting the youth of this industry. Brian is also into recycled, storm damaged, and reclaimed woods, which I have an interest in. He also has a "handmade" tattoo on his hand.. how cool is that?! The process of purchasing the table was easy and really great. First Brian and I met in his shop so I could get a sense of what I was looking for.. I wanted something local, live edge, and interesting. He found a nice piece of storm damaged wood from Haverhill (even took pictures of about 10 boards before I chose the right one). Then Brian took me through various revisions through google sketchup until I was totally happy with the outcome. When delivered, he even threw in some handmade coasters to protect the table.. I could not be happier with our piece, it is a conversation starter when we bring people into the office to talk about CustomMade.com
