Colonial Woodwrights is a family owned business in Mariposa, California. They make heirloom-quality, handcrafted furniture, home décor and folk art. Robbie & Mike Crowley, the owners, are very friendly, personable and willing to work with you on custom pieces of furniture.
I had them make a custom coffee table & end table that turned out great and have gotten many complements on it. If you're into country farm house, colonial, rustic or even a slightly more contemporary look, I would definitely recommend Colonial Woodwrights. Even if you can't make your way to Mariposa, they can work with you through phone, fax & email to make the one of a kind item you were looking for.
For those of you that don't know where Mariposa is, it's near Yosemite. Mariposa is a cute little mountain town on the way to northern entrance of Yosemite and only a 2 3/4 hour drive from San Jose. If you decide to go, you can see their handiwork on display in a cute little shop called Chocolate Soup in downtown Mariposa. Great other one of a kind items in there too!
