"Hi Pete, It's finally done. This is the table you made. I had 10 coats of varnish applied, and installed it this morning. It fits perfectly and is exactly what I wanted. The craftsmanship is amazing."
- CS, USA, May 31, 2010

"Hi Pete, What great service and fantastic quality product! Box arrived yesterday (13 days door-to-door) in great shape. And I was thrilled to find the teak floor tiles exactly as described .. maybe nicer. BTW, these Haddon Hall style floor tiles are a near perfect match to the typical Grand Banks Yachts cabin sole. I'll take a picture of my cabin project which will show the new tiles next to the original ones. You can post it up on your website. And maybe you should mention the Grand Banks boats; they've been built in S'pore since about 1970, and in Malaysia in recent years. It was a pleasure doing business w/you. Thanks very much for the great service."

Thanks again for your prompt and professional service. Regards, Richard"

"Hi Pete. Thank you so much for the Teak grates that you built for my boat in the Caribbean. They are exactly what I needed and they were 1/4 the price I was quoted in the Caribbean. With the efficiency of the Air China delivery and the ease of pick up from customs it makes the whole process worthwhile. Since they were made in sections I can now send them via US mail to the islands at very little additional expense. This is the third or forth time you have made it easy and affordable for me. I will call you for the next project. All the best Dave"
- DWM, El Paso, Texas, 1/15/07

"Pete, I picked up the teak on Friday morning after customs inspected the shipment. They were very nice
and did not charge me any duty. The shipment went to Atlanta, Georgia where it was switched to a contractor for Korean Air to fly to Savannah. Roush Delivery handles freight for this company. Everyone was very helpful in trying to expedite my picking up the teak including customs. I have unpacked the teak and I am quite pleased with the quality of the items purchased. I actually have it in my living room until we begin to install the teak in the boat. I was very pleased with the choice of shipping and appreciate the promptness that you sent the Items I needed. I will recommend you to anyone needing teak products.
You may also use me as a reference. Dan"

Wow Pete! I could not have asked for more. Many thanks."

"Hi Pete... The grate arrived and it is absolutely beautiful AND fits perfectly!!! I can't thank you enough. My old one I varnished on top. Later on in it's life, I varnished the entire grate and that is when I noticed it deteriorating. I'm wondering if I
shouldn't varnish it at all or if so only the top so the in between slots and bottom can breathe. Or... should I not varnish but
coat it with something ... the entire grate or just the top. Any advice would be appreciated. I will definitely be in touch for future projects and pass along your name to others. Thank you again... SO MUCH. Pam"

- Terry from Hudson, WI, USA, 15 June 2004

"We never got around to sending you pictures of the installed table, but last fall we finally took some interior shots. The fit was perfect and the grain of the wood stunning. The table we were replacing had a center top crank mechanism to raise and lower it, we decided to keep that mechanism and adapted that into your top. We get many compliments and it has improved the interior tremendously."

My only problem now is to lay on a varnish finish commensurate with the quality of the doors. I'll do my best. It's been a pleasure doing business with you, and I'm sure I'll be getting in touch for additional items in the future. Thanks. Pete"

- RR, Ontario, Canada, Jan. 8, 2004

"The big box is magnificent; truly a work of exceptional craftmanship; the woodworkers of Atlanta will just go nuts over both the wood and the woodwork. The scuba tank holders are perfect and the smaller works are just what we needed for the cabin. Many thanks for the fine workmanship and the additions to the Catamaran Moerae's elegance. fyi: U.S. Customs literally took the package completely apart and threw it back together and wrapped it up with "US CUSTOMS" yellow tape; but nothing was harmed. Your packaging and protection with foamboard and bubblewrap made the difference; when the guy with the forklift brought it out to the truck it looked like he was hauling trash to the dump."
- Celeste & Bruce, GA, USA, Jan. 4, 2004

Hi there Pete, I got my tiles yesterday!!! They're fantastic. They came in Tuesday afternoon but I didn't have time to make the trek to BWI till yesterday. They went through customs in New York before they got to BWI. Anyway, the order of events (at least in DC) is that you go to the shipping office to pick up paperwork, take the paperwork to customs
(different building), customs goes and inspects the package and calls you when they're done, you pick up the stamped paperwork at customs, and then go back to shipping to pick up the package. It took a couple of hours.. but it really wasn't that bad. Anyway, I installed most of them last night. I'll send photos when I get done. Thanks!!!
- EW, VA, USA, Nov. 7, 2003

"Pete, The teak grates arrvied a couple of days ago. I can not tell you how pleased I am with them. The quality of your workmanship is very impressive and I cannot beleive that we did it with out every speaking to each, other then with a couple of Emails, and a template. Every one on my Dock could not stop praising your work. I have already given them a couple of coats of teak oil and have them in place on board the boat they give the boat a very class custom look just what I was going for. They both fit just perfect. Sending along a picture. Again Thank You."

"Pete, Thank you, Thank you !!! I just received the grates for Espada. They look Fantastic and after I varnish them I will install them on the boat. They look like art work; not working grates to stand on. I appreciate your attention to details. Take care and have a great year. Best Regards."
- JS, Grand Soleil 39 owner, TX, USA, 1/31/2003

"Dear Pete, I did receive the invoice and went down and retrieved the grates...all I can say is WOW...they look great (no pun intended!!)! The clearance was no problem at all, I had a 9 dollar fee at customs and a 20 dollar fee at American Airlines.... The packing was careful and when opened the grates looked wonderful!! The weather here is curently so nasty, (27 degrees Fahrenheit and sleeting, 1- 3 inches of snow expected today) that I will not get a chance to get to the boat till later this week, BUT you may rest assured that they will travel down to get a preliminary fit!! I am thrilled with the work and rapid shipping! I am sure that we will have more dealings in the future... many thanks!!"
- Peter Gentry, m/v La Panthere, MD, USA 1/29/2003

"Pete, Just wanted to let you know that our shipment of teak arrived today. Kim and I are so thankful that your staff knows how to pack items for shipping. The outside cartons looked like they were dragged behind the ship and truck not on them. But on inspection we found the inside cartons well protected and undamaged.
We also would like to mention how helpful you and your staff have been. From e-mails to phone calls, to our visits, to your office in Bangkok, we have felt like we were welcomed and you always had time for us and that our order was important to you.
I can not express enough how pleased we are with the quality of your stock items to the attention to detail on the custom pieces you made for us. From the items I hand carried home on my trips to Thailand, to this shipment of big items it has been a pleasure doing business with you.
When the refurbishment of our 47ft. Vagabond (Island Siren) is done, we know that it will be something we will enjoy for many years to come. In part due to all the many teak items we have purchased from you. We will be sure to send you some pictures of it when completed. Thanks again"
- Ron Mobley, Florida, USA, 11/23/02

I feel fortunate if I can get even one of those four from stateside suppliers! Please feel free to quote me or refer folks to me if they want a reference. I look forward to doing business with you in the future! Warmest regards."

Don (aka Pete): "A great job! Thanks so much. The drop boards are nicer than some of the furniture in my house (maybe I should move on my boat and live!). The handrails turned out to be exact replacements for the ones on the boat. I may have another customer for you. Junius Shipshape Inc. in New Orleans services sailboats across the Northern Gulf of Mexico. He is installing the handrails and was very interested in my source. I gave him your email address. Again, Thanks! You can use my comments, and please include my name and phone #. I'd be happy to pass along positive info to any prospective clients." Ken
