Alabama Sawyer

Working with Alabama Sawyer was a delight. They created a beautiful table for our kitchen which will be a treasured piece of furniture in our home for many years to come. We were drawn to their use of locally sourced wood with their goal of using environmentally sustainable products.

Unfortunately, we had to remove a century (probably older) old red oak for our construction project. Alasaw helped us repurpose the tree into the flooring in our home. They milled, dried, kiln dried and delivered the wood. The work was beautiful and highlighted all the natural character of the tree itself. This is an organization of caring eco-minded professionals with personality and character. Absolutely beautiful work.

I am an award-winning LA based Interior Designer and have worked with Cliff Spencer Furniture Maker several times, including residential and hospitality projects. Each time we have worked together has been a wonderful experience. A standout project where I incorporated Cliff's furniture is the spa I designed at Hotel Casa del Mar in Santa Monica. Cliff built stunning custom eco-friendly pieces for the reception area including display cabinets and a podium with LED lighting and natural shell facade. Cliff Spencer Furniture Maker is a valuable resource for me and I look forward to collaborating together on many more projects.

We have really enjoyed collaborating with The Cliff Spencer team on our home staging projects as well as working with them in our Interior Styling jobs! They are so talented, flexible and simply wonderful to work with. Their pieces always raise the level of aesthetic in our interiors. I highly recommend them!!

Working with Cliff Spencer Furniture Maker was fantastic. We worked together to design and build a custom dining table for one of our clients. This table is modern and classic and will be in their family for generations. They are current on all sustainable and non toxic glues/ finishes and are extremely passionate about creating beautiful timeless furniture free of harmful chemicals. This specific project was very unique in that we repurposed trees that needed to be removed on our client's property and prepared them to be converted into furniture. We worked together throughout the entire process by referring us trustworthy vendors to cut and mill the trees for optimal, multiple furniture options. We look forward to creating more pieces for this specific home and for our future clients.

I am so happy to write this recommendation for Cliff Spencer Furniture Maker. The firm’s work is just beautiful – elegant, precise without feeling fussy, and respectful of the materials. They have the expertise to help you make the project as environmentally responsible as you want it to be. I recently referred some clients to them to have some custom furniture made. Cliff and Leigh could not have been easier to work with. They gave as much or as little guidance as was wanted, they were flexible and the work was executed beautifully and delivered on time. It was a great experience.

We have worked with Cliff on two different houses and he is fantastic. His knowledge is extensive and he is extremely patient, working along side clients to get every detail exactly how they want it. He is also very experienced in dealing with materials that are green which makes him very marketable in our industry - especially when everyone says they know how to build green but not many actually do. I look forward to working with Cliff again in the near future. Lisa Henderson Harvest Architecture
