“We had the distinct pleasure of commissioning Dave Woodward to create a stunningly large bar top for our distillery, a piece that beautifully captures the essence of the nearby Chattooga River. From the very first interaction, Dave impressed us with his professionalism, courtesy, and exceptional communication skills. He provided a transparent quote and a realistic timeline, both of which he honored with meticulous attention. 

Throughout the process, he kept us thoroughly informed, frequently updating us on his progress. He graciously invited us to witness the artistry in action and shared captivating photos that highlighted each step of his craftsmanship. 

Beyond his remarkable skill, Dave embodies the spirit of a dedicated local artisan, delivering a level of quality and creativity that is undeniably worthy of national recognition. He completed an awe-inspiring 16-foot sycamore bar top, intricately designed with the Chattooga River and adorned with local landmarks, showcasing striking laser etching and an epoxy finish perfect for the bar’s use. 

The final product is nothing short of exquisite, reflecting his talent and dedication. We are impressed with Dave’s reliability concerning both his quote and timeline. It is a true honor to have such a gifted artisan in our small community. We wholeheartedly wish him great success, both locally and abroad. He is an emerging artist whose talent and vision should not be overlooked; we believe he will soon be in high demand once the word spreads about the exceptional work being created — just next door to us!”
