  • "KICKIN UP DUST is a standout choice. Specializing in custom domestic hardwoods, they manage to strike a difficult balance between rustic soul and modern precision. The first thing you notice about their work is the joinery. Dovetail joints isn't just for aesthetics—it makes for incredibly sturdy pieces. I recently looked at a dining table made from live-edge walnut, and the way the wood grain was matched across the tabletop showed a level of patience you rarely see in high-volume shops. Highly recommend them, they take PRIDE in their work!!! You won’t go wrong ordering from them!!"
