Artistic Woodworking and Marquetry

It was a pleasure to work with Jeff. He was straightforward, timely, and kept us involved throughout the entire creative process. We are extremely happy with the custom bed he built for us and know that it will last for years to come. Jeff's attention to detail and his high level of skill are shown in his work. We would definitely use Jeff again for any woodworking project.

 Thanks again for everything,

PROJECT: Design & build wall to hide lighting that matches existing design

I had the pleasure of working on an architectural project with Jeff Grossman of Artistic Wood and Marquetry beginning in January of 2022 on an important component of a comprehensive remodel of the 1965 era Sanctuary and sacred stage of Our Savior’s Lutheran Church in Phoenix, AZ.  Jeff’s task was to design, build and install a floor valance to hide lighting canisters which lit up the original reardos (rock wall divider), with matching materials & colors that would reflect the design of the 65 year old millwork located throughout the back of the altar area.  During our search for a highly skilled wood craftsperson, Jeff came highly recommended by a board member who had done excellent work for her in the past. 

Our Design Team worked through a number of planning meetings with Jeff and knew he was the artist for this job.  Jeff offered suggestions that took our initial ideas to a higher level, negotiated a fair and value-filled budget and came in ahead of schedule in May of 2022 and under budget.  This noteworthy accomplishment does not begin to convey the creativity, hard-work, artistry, communication skills, enthusiasm, cooperation and good humor that Jeff employed along the way from initial concept to deliver and precise installation of his flawless final product.  The end result was exceptional and we were delighted.   The completed floor valance looks like it was created at the same time with the original architectural fretwork that draws the eyes upward around the Sanctuary and fits in with the tone, color and spirit of the original work.  Additionally, the original stage was demolished and recreated with new, modern materials, electrical outlets and state of the art lighting, and Jeff’s creation fits in functionally and aesthetically with the new 2022 stage concept.

I would recommend Jeff enthusiastically for your future woodworking projects and I look forward to working with him again on any projects where I need a master craftsman who is trustworthy, responsive and delivers a top-rate quality end-product within a realistic budget.

The stand you built for my wife’s father’s parachute locker is fantastic. We are so very pleased with the design and incredible craftsmanship.  From my initial concept you put together exactly what we wanted. Your thoughtful design that replicated the bed and the perfect stain match is amazing.

For us, this is a memory that we are reminded of everyday and you more than delivered everything we were hoping to have.  Finally, you completed it well ahead of schedule. I know my father-in-law would have loved it.  As our family enters our third generation of Naval service,  it is the perfect tribute to a true hero who spent his life in the service of our country.  We could not be happier.   Dan & Mary Ann
