"Tim was an absolute pleasure to work with. He is a true craftsman and incredibly skilled. He took time to understand my vision and exceeded my expectations with the results. He is extremely neat, detailed and talented. Not to mention he is kind and patient. He is trustworthy and always on time. He is very passionate about his craft and takes great pride in doing a perfect job. He is fun to collaborate with and I felt very confident in trusting him to make some artistic decisions. The mantle he made for the fireplace is absolutely beautiful. I really lucked out finding Tim and Smith Woodworking. I strongly recommend him."

"Lukeâ s Custom Woodworks just completed a beautiful remodel of my kitchen. The workmanship and customer service I have received were outstanding, and the cost was substantially lower than the other businesses I contacted. The staff of craftsmen were superb! Everyone worked diligently to make sure everything was done right. In addition, they always made sure the area was cleaned before they left. I highly recommend Lukeâ s Custom Woodworks to anyone interested in having a woodworking project. I couldnâ t ask for a better experience!"

"Bryan and his crew Darryl, Bruce, and Connor made repairs to my home after a plumbing leak. This sort of restoration involving baseboard trim, laminate flooring, drywall, and paint is more difficult than new construction because of the matching and blending required to make the repaired areas appear invisible. They accomplished this with a high degree of workmanship, arrived and completed the work on time, and were friendly and courteous throughout. They showed themselves to be real pros when they returned to repair damage to their work caused by the carpet installers under a separate contract, without charge. I highly recommend BKS Installers."

Woodworking questions, answered by experts

It is common for a contractor to ask for a down payment before starting a project, especially for jobs that require purchasing materials and equipment or hiring a crew. The deposit amount can range from 10% to 50% of the total job cost. While a request for up to 50% is not unusual, a contractor should not ask for more than that, and you should never pay for a project in full before the work has begun. To protect yourself, always discuss payment terms before starting and have a written contract that outlines the project timeline and expectations. Additionally, be sure to hire reputable contractors and check their licensing and insurance before the project begins.

If you don’t have a coping saw, you can use an angle grinder to cope crown molding, but it takes a little more precision. Place your molding down on your workbench, angle the grinder at a 45-degree angle toward the molding, and back cut the wood. You’ll need to carefully angle your grinder to accommodate the curves in the wood, and aim to remove around 1 inch from the profile of the molding.

Baseboards don’t have to be nailed into studs. However, nailing them into studs adds to their stability. When studs aren’t available, you can secure them with drywall nails directly into the drywall and adhesive. Always aim to nail into studs, especially in high-traffic or impact-prone areas.

Labor plays a significant role in the installation of butcher block countertops. Depending on who you hire, your location, the customization level of the project, and whether the wood is already finished, you may pay a professional between $10 and $150 per square foot to install a butcher block countertop. On average, expect the per-hour price to run between $60 and $100.

Whether or not it’s easier to cut wood when it’s wet versus dry depends largely on the type of tool you use and the wood you’re cutting. For example, a chain saw should still be able to cut through wet wood with relative ease, but it may be more difficult to maneuver due to the wood fibers sticking to the chains of the saw. 

However, you might want to avoid cutting wood entirely when it’s wet if you’re pruning your tree. Sawing a wet tree that you don’t plan on removing can also encourage bacterial and fungal growth and decay.
