CJ is a FABULOUS local engraver. Txt'd her about a charcuterie board project idea, she replied and…read morewas excited to try it. I provided the font and artwork and she took care of the rest; sent me samples on wood before she engraved my actual board. Was my end to end experience perfect? No...She had a series of family emergencies BUT I got what I wanted in a reasonable amount of time for a very good price and supported a member of the community along the way! Check out the pic, noting M's on the cutlery set handles as well as the main surface engraving. Something we'll use for years, and smile while doing so. Thanks CJ!!!

I've been doing business with Gunny Eddie for the past 5 years since my Joint Staff tour and I can say without exception that his Wood Engraved Command Plaques that he has made during my three post-Command tours have been exceptional in quality as well as supremely polished with details for proud presentation! Gunny Eddie is a true professional who charges fair prices and always meets his promised deadlines with products that are certain to be of the highest standard and more importantly a fitting "momento" for presentation -- recipients are always surprised and grateful! I have done my 5 years of business with Gunny Eddie entirely via email order as well as via phone calls. I always refer my colleagues to Gunny Eddie who are in need of an awesome Wood engraved command plaque because he is the absolute BEST in the business! I highly recommend you seek out his service if you are also in the same position - I guarantee that you won't be disappointed.

I brought a watch in and in addition, I had a 10K gold chain and 14k gold earrings that I asked if he could melt down and make a different chain and charm. He said it would be ready the Friday after Labor Day (Sept 6). That Friday, I called and was told it would be ready Monday (Sept 9). I called Sept 11 and was told by him directly he was finishing it up and to get it at 5pm. I was at work so said I'd be in the next morning. I showed up and he said "I was just about to text you, it's not ready yet". He said it would be a few more hours but to pick it up Friday to be on the safe side. I called Friday Sept 13 and was told it STILL wasn't ready but Monday for sure. Monday (Sept 16) he sent a pic of a child in a doctor's office saying he wouldn't be in but definitely Tuesday. Wednesday I told him I would be in to pick it up. When I got there it looked NOTHING like he promised. It was discolored throughout and way too long. He said he would fix the charm and cut the chain. I took the chain with me but told him I hate being lied to as a customer. He didn't realize when you send pictures there's a date on it. The picture he sent me of the child was from JULY!!! He tried to deny it but it was clear as day. I then took the chain to Diamonds Direct and another location where a total of FOUR JEWELERS told me the chain was staring silver plated in gold. HE TOOK MY GOLD AND GAVE ME STERLING SILVER!!! I called the police back to the location. We decided he would order me a real gold chain from the factory or wherever the book was from. At one point he said 10K is just sterling silver . He also slipped up and admitted he lied about the picture he sent. DO NOT TRUST THESE PEOPLE AT ALL!!! Even when I was talking to the cop outside another customer interrupted us and asked "Are you having issues with him too?!" The cop said "I'm not a detective but that's a clue" He then told me not to do business with this place and to make a review to warn others of the shady business they do. They may have good reviews from some folks but if they think they can get over on you, they will. I've also seen other reviews afterwards of them stealing others' jewelry smh. I was also sent an email stating possible legal ramifications but everything I say is fact so I will not remove my review

My shipmate who ordered reached out and they said there's nothing they can do. I spent $125 on this and they won't even make a new one with the correct spelling of my name? Unfortunate. I won't recommend this company to anyone who is getting anything customized. Product would've been nice if it weren't for the fact that they're unwilling to replace their mistake. Then the owner wanted to lie on Google reviews and say i had an email with the name "Jeffery Mitchell. " There was never an email chain. My coworker physically gave printed sheets of paper from fltmps with our names printed on it and when she called to let them know there was an error and their response was that there was nothing they could do about it now. Please explain why, if there was an email chain showing the name given was Jeffrey Mitchell, my paddle says "Jewel" Instead of Jewelle. This is a prime example that even as a civilian, the chiefs mess cannot be trusted. I hope those who "google it out" find this review helpful.
