I designed and bought my husband's wedding ring through Ken Kendall, for literally 250 bucks less…read morethan the lowest quote I got anywhere else (Jared's). Hubby picked a ring out at Jared's that he loved, Ken knew the designer and put the finish on when the ring came in, and did the engraving for $25... he shares an office in a complex off Spicewood, so I guess his overhead is low and that's why his prices are so competitive. I found out about him through my aunt, she has had him repair and resize some jewelry for her. Anyway I was really, really impressed.. he's approved by all the major jeweler associations and all that, and has been in business for 25 years.... so there's no reason not to go to him, he can do anything that any big jeweler can, and for less. I'm a believer!

I read the first review 3 years ago, and promptly made an appointment with Ken. I needed my great…read moregrandmother's ring resized for me and plated. Ken is very warm and knows his business. I took my heirloom to other shops to quote and felt uneasy leaving this ring in their hands for a week. Ken quoted me a 1/3 of the price and gave me 1000% of the service.

The short, dry review: I have watched two very special men in my life LOVE the end result of…read morereasonably priced, custom clothing. That's it. The long, dramatic review: I just wanted to cry tears of joy. My dad called to tell me that he is absolutely THRILLED with his new, custom trousers and shirt, and that I could not have given him a better Father's Day present. Why did this touch me so? My dad is a man who lovingly and gracefully raised three girls with all of the body issues that accompany that endeavor. He has been having body issues of his own for the last 3 years. Complaining of a stomach ache, he ended up having emergency appendix removal, appendix exploded on the table, 9" of intestines removed and a month in the hospital. He has not really been the same since. His body dramatically changed shape and none of his clothes fit right after that month. Dad was always a dapper dresser, with the kind of attention to the details that made my mom smile and say he would have made a great hair dresser. I do not think I have ever EVER seen my dad in a t-shirt or in jeans. He is snappy, and he likes to look snappy. He did not believe that the clothes would fit any better than what he could get from a men's store. Holly comes to your home, does about 100 measurements, talks with you while you choose specific fabrics from her many samples that you can touch and feel. You also choose specific design details for your shirt, trousers, or jacket. She arrives at your home later with the goods. I have a friend who looks like a model and is on the "call" list for By George For Men and Stag. He loves to look sharp and that can be very spendy. He now has several custom shirts, trousers, and even a jacket from J. Hilburn that make him look like a million bucks without breaking the bank. Once they have your measurements in the system, friends and family have a very easy job buying you the perfectly fitted shirt or trousers... and my dad even admitted that it is not anything at all like the clothing at a men's store, made for the masses. He went from, "nothing will ever fit quite right" to, "can you call Holly and order another shirt?"

Wow! Looking GOOD, Man!…read more I can not get over how great these shirts look on my colleagues. J Hilburn offers high-quality clothing at a great price. Holly's personal service ensures a great fit and a wonderful shopping experience. She even meets you at your home or office for the initial fitting. Armed with examples, a planning book, and loads of swatches, you can select exactly the shirt you want. With so many combinations, you are still ensured a unique look. Holly is amazing to work with. She'll make sure that the entire shopping experience is a breeze. I can't wait to see these shirts on the men in one of my weddings. No more "marshmallow puff" when they remove the jacket at the reception! And, unlike the claim for some hideous bridesmaids dresses, they really can wear it again! ;)

Sidney, the owner of Spencer's Custom Wood is phenomenal! I sent him a request for quote with…read morespecifications on Yelp for a walnut cutting board I planned to use for the base plate to support my Kitchen Aid Mixer on a mechanical lift I had installed in my kitchen cabinet. He responded almost immediately with a reasonable quote. I asked for him to proceed that same evening and said I would love to have it as soon as possible. He completed it overnight and let me know that I could pick it up at his shop or he could ship it to me for a reasonable shipping fee. I picked it up less than 24 hours after ordering it! Wow, talk about customer service and exceeding expectations! I had the wonderful opportunity to see his amazing shop, meet his wife and marvel at the creative and beautiful items he and his wife and family are making. Winning combination: great work, fantastic customer service and a beautiful work product! I definitely recommend Spencer's Custom Wood for all your wood-working needs. They also have a wonderful website with lots of pictures. If you can think it up, Spencer's can make it and you will be so happy with the product! Super friendly and professional!

As a grizzly bear lover and longtime follower of the Brooks Falls bears in Katmai National Park aka the Fat Bear Week contestants, I was drawn to the grizzly bear head available. The details are unbelievable and it looks like this guy is staring at me. The beauty & intricacy of the grizzly had me search further to see a tiger head which is destined as a house warming gift for a close friend. Further searching brought me to the cutting boards where I fell in love with a chaos design putting together so many different shapes into a beautiful puzzle. The board is solid and weighty; it will not slide across my granite countertops as I chop. All the items delivered timely and it great shape; I'm oh so pleased and I'll be a returning Holiday shopper. What's better than a unique, hand made gift.
