TESTIMONIALS

“Gisèle is an experienced woodworker who creates one of a kind pieces. You can tell that she is passionate about her work. She created a beautiful walnut coffee table for us.  It has a wonderful live edge and was sanded and finished perfectly.  Whenever we have guests over it becomes a topic of discussion. I guarantee you will be more than satisfied with anything she creates for you."

"What can I say? Gisèle at Manic Woodshop has created my most unique piece of furniture in my home. Everyone that sees it, asks where they can see more of her work. I love my table and can’t wait to buy my next piece from her!"

"Gisèle, just a note to express my thanks for the excellent design and construction of the new scoreboards. Our bocce ball group has 2,400 members and as commissioner I have not heard one complaint all season! I unveiled them at our group meeting in February and the response was great! Two more weeks to our season and after a ton of use they still look and perform well."

"Gisèle did a fantastic job with a wood cutting board that I purchased from her. It has a finish as smooth as glass that makes cutting so easy. The craftsmanship and durability far exceed the store-bought boards. I also purchased a wine glass holder and cheese board. They are beautiful and I love to show them off at my wine parties.

"While looking for some high-end accessories for our newly remodeled office kitchen, I came across the Manic Woodshop Insta and reached out. I commissioned two custom cutting boards. The pieces were so well done, several co-workers purchased their own and praised the high quality and excellent craftsmanship. As a result I am confident when I recommend Gisèle and Manic Woodshop to people who are looking for custom woodwork.”

"Being the foodie that I am and also a collector of anything custom made, I knew the moment I first saw one of Gisèle's custom cutting boards that I needed to have one in my kitchen. At first I was afraid to use it, in fear of blemishing it---ha!

At the same time I also had Gisele make my granddaughter a "keepsake box" for her birthday.  The collaboration between us to get it right was rewarding and far exceeded my expectations when I finally saw the finished product.  I would highly recommend Manic Woodshop & Gisèle's quality craftsmanship to anyone looking for a "one of a kind" custom woodwork product."
