While perusing pictures of the inside of a celebrity's home online, I saw the "perfect" floating shelf for a wall in my new home. After an exhaustive search for a ready - made piece that was even similar to what I saw in my grainy screenshot failed, I set up a consultation with Noah at his shop. We quickly found a beautiful slab of walnut, already cut and then abandoned for another project - lucky for me! We discussed options for creating the trickier base, and considered metal and hiring a metalworker. It was around this time in the planning that Noah realized the piece in the grainy picture was made from musical instruments! The shelf was made from half of a cello, and the base, a part of a harp! (It was in Kelly Clarkson's home). It was also at this point, and possibly with clarification of what we were looking at, that Noah suggested that HE could make the base out of wood and finish it with a metallic paint. His enthusiasm with the vision we'd created, along with the beauty and quality workmanship I saw in the finished pieces displayed on his website gave me the utmost confidence in his ability to create exactly what I was looking for. And he sure did! Finally, Noah was meticulous with measurements and the final install. There is a picture of my shelf on the website, it's the " music inspired" floating shelf....

This is repeat business for Noah because of our great experience the first time below. We wanted to upgrade our dining table to a Live Edge table and always want to support local businesses. It was an easy decision once we talked to Noah. He had walnut slabs to show us and provided options on how to finish them, with pictures of other work he had done. He also walked us through his shop, which was very impressive and informative. The slab was cut to our exact specs, completed to counter height vs normal height, and beautifully finished. Noah completed the table earlier than first promised, delivered and set it up using the utmost care. What an awesome statement this table makes!! We will definitely use Animas Craft Woodworks again!

I installed an electric fireplace in our home but stopped short of the walnut wood frame because of the difficult precision work needed to make it look perfect. We met Noah at the Durango Marketplace and it was obvious he was very talented with wood. The fireplace is now complete and it looks awesome. Noah was excellent to work with, very prompt with communications, and on time for the installation. Nothing but good things to say about Noah and his knowledge and skills with wood working. Would...

​I contacted Noah at Animas Craft about a butcher block counter for my kitchen, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. He responded quickly and was nice to work with. From a design perspective, he provided excellent guidance, helping me choose the perfect type and color of wood for my space (mahagony). ​The craftsmanship is truly unmatched. The finished product is gorgeous. When it came to the installation, Kris was a breath of fresh air. He was friendly, professional, and made the whole process feel smooth and effortless. ​During the installation, they accidentally bumped and broke one of my light switches. They immediately took responsibility, went to Home Depot to get a new part, and fixed the problem. ​I am so happy with the final result. I highly recommend Animas Craft for their beautiful work and outstanding...
