What is the most unusual aspect or outstanding characteristic of this entry?
The sheer magnitude of the space, much larger than the pictures can adequately reflect! The amount of detail and strategically placed elements to achieve just the look the customer was seeking, along with very specific and defined storage requirements. The suspended buffet island with the rich, natural clear coated solid wood Sapele top is a statement piece in itself.

This truly is a dream kitchen that any cook or chef could easily be at home in and work comfortably featuring a large scale island, farm sink, (2) dishwashers, gas cooktop, pot filler, double ovens with warming drawer, secondary sink, PO spice racks and tray storage, more than sufficient pantry w/ PO shelves in each unit to provide individual appliance work centers and storage and side-by-side refrigerator and freezer units. The mantle style hood is a featured focal point along with the cabinetry to 11’H with upper glass display cabinetry topped off with ornate decorative feature crown moulding.

How has being a member of the CMA benefited you and/or your business?
I would, without a doubt, say the single, most important benefit I derive from being a member of the CMA is that of having a network of professionals, like me, knowledgable and experienced in virtually any area I may encounter. The eagerness to share hard earned expertise and assist fellow cabinet makers among the membership through forums and/or personal contact has proven itself invaluable time and time again. I have personally realized the savings of time, money, resources, failure and sometimes I have been provided the wisdom to “just simply say no” when I might not have otherwise reached that conclusion on my own. Everyone becomes a mentor in their own unique role – honestly, what business could not benefit from that type of relationship?

The second real benefit I derive is credibility. Being a member of a national and well respected organization provides me with a competitive edge, alleviating the “fly by night” persona sometimes associated with this industry. The marketing benefits including additional presence, both online and in print, along with the Wood Diamond Awards, have enabled me to capitalized upon my successes, and work to not only enhance, but forward my own individual marketing efforts by setting me apart from other shops in my area. I expect those benefits will only increase as the efforts of the organization increases.
