I only harvest trees downed from storm damage or being removed for construction purposes. I will have the log sawn and I will dry and mill the lumber myself. Native woods I like to work with most are Walnut, White and Red Oak, Cherry, Ash, Pecan, Hickory and Pine. I also have a source for west Texas Mesquite. I will build your furniture from the wood of your choosing be it domestic or exotic. Each peice is built by me and finished one at a time. Your furniture is the most important. I have been working with wood for over 30 years and continue to gain knowledge and refine my skills. I look forward to visiting with you and discussing your furniture design. My desire is to build you that special heirloom you have always wanted. From the Forest to your home.

    Rick Hensley's work is phenomenal!! We started the process with designs that I described and he translated into sketches. A couple of revisions later and we were ready to go with the project. Rick was easy to contact and in synch with what I was looking for which made the design process a breeze. Then Rick started building the bookshelves and always provided weekly pictures, which was great so I could see the progress. Also, i did not ask for this, but he made the desktop from antique maple wood from 100+year old tree on the back of his property. It is so unique and gorgeous, I am thrilled he took that initiative and allowed it to become part of my home. Once complete, we scheduled a good weekend, and he brought the completed bookshelves and desk to my house and installed them with his brother's help. Unfortunately, I had to leave during the install for a commitment, but my husband was there and got to see the whole process. Rick stayed all day to make sure everything... Read More

    Rick did a superb job all the way from the refinement of our design to the delivery of the product. His is committed to producing high quality products and spends as much time as needed in order to find out exactly what the customer wants. He has our highest recommendation.

    I cannot say enough good things about our first experience with CustomMade and, more importantly, with RockyTop WoodWorks. From our first contact with RockyTop, Rick was great to work with. In addition to taking care and listening to what we wanted, he took the time to ask the right questions so we'd also get what we needed. We worked very closely with him on the design and features of our bookwall and he gave us exactly what we'd always wanted - a beautiful place to store our books. The final result is really a beautiful piece of art, just gorgeous to look at and exactly what we'd hoped for. Rick was professional and prompt with all our communications - he kept us informed as his progress moved towards completion with both pictures and video. The attention to detail with regards to our project was first rate - everything from wood choices, number of shelves, door handles, and getting a large piece installed in a tight space were taken into consideration and the result was a wonderf...
