Jennifer's Wedding Box
CustomMade by Dave Heller
This wedding box contains a bottle of champagne, two toasting flutes, and cards that are handed out at the wedding. Guests write comments for the bride and groom to read on their first anniversary, while drinking the champagne. It could be used to hold any treasured memento's. The bride's and
… groom's initial are inlaid into the front.
This box is made from amboyna burl and mahogany, and is curved in profile and on the top. The escutcheon for the lock is made from mother of pearl.
This type of box could be made with rectangular sides, or with a domed lid. The veneer pattern of a 4 way match on the top wrapping down the front and back gives the box it's strong symmetrical feel, and the burl a sense of luxury.

jewelry armoire
by Amanda Z. Oct 02nd 2012
Heller and Heller is extremely detail oriented and consulted with me at almost every step. I would highly recommend them if you want to be involved in the design process. Even after I negotiated the price down a bit my expectations were exceeded as Dave put in the time to get everything perfect. The cabinet is a showpiece with both details of styling (shape and veneer design) as well as great functional details (neat tiny dividers and drawers that slide all the way out for full access). It looks fantastic!

Chess/game table
by User 7449 Dec 19th 2011
Dave Heller and his daughter, who is a furniture designer, did an unbelievable job of creating a unique and beautiful game table. They continued to consult and work on the design, words, finishes, and details to be sure it was just what we wanted. The result is treasure and no doubt will become a family heirloom. Not only do we have a reversible chess board/centerpiece and inlaid backgammon table, but I asked if they could design a scrabble/trivial pursuit board as my family loves to play these games. The detail and craftsmanship is amazing! Dave was a delight to work with and wanted to be sure we were happy with every aspect of this project. We highly recommend Heller and Heller!
