She designed a custom live edge coffee table for our home that has become a standout piece, admired by guests and even another skilled woodworker. Throughout the entire process, her communication and dedication to customer service ensured everything went smoothly, and she exceeded all our expectations. The result is nothing short of stunning. Highly recommend!"
CALLY - Moraga, CA
"After doing a home remodel I was worried that everything would look sterile. Now we have some custom live edge shelving from Gisèle that warm up our main living area. Thye have become a conversation piece to everyone when they come in.
We also had a beautiful chess set that was deserving of being out and seen but nowhere to put it. I loved working with Gisèle to create a custom lazy-susan style end table for it, that is timeless and so well made. It is a piece that gets used and admired often."
JEREMY - Calgary, AB
"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!"
MIKE & EMILY - Concord, CA
“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."
GREG - Martinez, CA
"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."
WAYNE - Valley of the Moon, CA
"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!
At the same time I also had Gisèle 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."
