"I am sorry I
could not be home when you delivered our
credenza to tell you personally how lovely I find it to be. The design
works perfectly as do the choices and colors of the wood. And, of
course the workmansip is superb. After working with us for a little
more than a year you know I am very particular, so am happy that the
piece met my expectations. We enjoyed refining the design process with
you until it "felt right" and I especially appreciate your attention to
detail. Thanks so much for crafting a unique stunning piece that
enhances our home!"

"Having served with
Andy in
the Navy many years ago, I have always known and admired his thorough,
analytical approach alongside his professional and courteous demeanor.
It has been a pleasure to watch him apply these traits to his furniture
making business, and most importantly to each work of art he crafts. I
am very fortunate to own a very spectacular piece of his artwork, and
it sits prominently in my dining room. A true showpiece. And, what I
know that makes his work so incredibly special is the passion he places
into each one with a true commitment to serving the customer."

"Making up
our minds on the look of our new bed took longer than the
actual construction. The pencil post design was an easy
choice, but
the head board was another matter. Living on the Potomac
River, we
have awesome sunsets and sun rises. We also frequently see dolphins
swimming by. We wanted a headboard that reflected our
surroundings.
Andy, leaving nothing to chance, patiently helped us to design the
perfect bed for our home. We gave him artistic liberty with
the wood
selection and were very pleased with the results. We love our
Dolphin
Bed."

"I want to
let you know how beautiful the Paschal Candle stand is. This past
Sunday was All Saints Day and the Pastor did a special blessing to
dedicate it and we lit it for the first time. It will always be next to
the baptismal font. It is simply lovely and we are so happy with it.
Thank you again for your very special work and for doing this in memory
of my mother."

"The Paschal
candle stand is more than I ever expected. It was a true joy
to work with you. You completely
understood what the family had wanted. You have such a
God-given gift in
your artistry. You were able to take my descriptions and
basic design
plans via e-mail communication and turn it into a beautiful work of
art.
This piece will be cherished in my congregation for years to
come. I
thank God that He directed my internet search to your
website. We could
not have received such a beautiful gift in memory of both of my parents
anywhere else. Thank you again for sharing your gift with us
in the form
of this beautiful Paschal Candle stand."

"My name is
John
and I live in
the Washington DC area. I wanted a
post office bank made for my granddaughter. I purchased the brass door
on Ebay
and found Andy’s website on the internet and called him. I have never
met
Andy to this day. He agreed to build it for me and I mailed the
hardware. I
trusted him. I received the bank via mail and it is a beautiful walnut
and
cherry box with dovetail joints. My granddaughter Cassidy will love it.
Thanks Andy"

"Just about
one
year ago ... my
favorite
tree near the end of our lane ... a very large persimmon ...
we
had a very windy day and down came my tree ... we thought, why not make
a piece of furniture out of it. We called Andy ... we decided to have
him mill it
... it
was the most beautiful wood. We ended up with a very large, beautiful
bookcase with drawers ... one that was designed
by Andy, my husband and I, which made it even more special. Any time we
would
go by his shop to check on the progress, we were always impressed by
what had been done and how eager he was to show what would be next. It
was so easy to work with him. In less than a year, my tree had
been milled, dried, and made into a most spectacular piece of
furniture. Andy's work is meticulous, precise, and there was special
attention to even the smallest detail. We look forward to working with
him again."

"I have three
pieces by Mr. Pitts and
each one is magnificent in it's workmanship, but to me the creativity
shown in the design makes each an unsurpassed work of art."
Jones
Kilmarnock, VA
"From concept
to
design, Andy was extremely
helpful in
guiding the process. His extensive knowledge of the art of furniture
design was
invaluable. Part of the design is finding the correct wood species to
achieve
the desired outcome. Andy was anxious to show us the actual lumber,
from his
large selection of locally harvested logs.
We learned that Andy's primary source of material is from the Northern
Neck of Virginia. He mills, kiln dries and ages all of his lumber. When
building a piece Andy knows the wood and its history very well. A great
design is
only as good as the furniture maker. Andy's craftsmanship must be seen
to be
appreciated. If "fit and finish" are important aspects of your piece,
then you owe it to yourself to consider Andy Pitts when you consider
your next
furniture acquisition."

"We
had a concept of what we wanted and presented it to a well-known
retail company that says they can custom make furniture and to Andy
Pitts. In the time the other company took to respond that
they
could not meet our specifications and to present us with an
unattractive (boxy) version of their regular line of cabinet,
Andy
gave us three totally different designs. We worked together
with
Andy, refining on of the designs and ended up with a cabinet that is a
real work of art -- better than we ever expected!We are
truly enjoying it!!"

“Andy's
furniture is beautiful, functional, and something which is very
important to me, durable. Surprisingly his most delicate pieces are
incredibly sturdy. As a result I have purchased two pieces
for my home, pieces that are so elegant and beautiful they quickly
became focal points in my house. I hope to furnish more of my home with
his pieces in the coming years. This
is a person you need to come to if you want a piece of custom furniture
that reflects your personal style.”

"I
just had to tell you how much I love our matching nightstands. I
am very upset that I have to put anything on top of them. I just want
to look at the cherry and red oak that you so carefully
chose and put together. They go together beautifully. Thanks again for
such beautiful pieces of art."

"I
just want you to know how
absolutely pleased we are with your wonderful work. Not only
do
we
love my great-grandfather's chestnut in the coffee table, but our
functional but very weathered dining table looks spectacular with its
new veneer. It's beautiful and like new. Thanks for all the
effort and amazing craftsmanship and design."
Ann
Hayes, VA
"I
appreciate
your
guidance to make it a piece that I will treasure
for years... Thanks for your professionalism throughout the process. My
husband and I are very pleased with the table and impressed with how
smooth the finish is......We are enjoying watching it get darker and
gain character as it ages. My other furniture just sits there...no fun
to watch it...it will just get old and worn out...not gain character
like yours will."
Sara
Stafford, VA
"The
table is getting rave reviews from the people who see it..."
Eliot

"I will never
be
able to express my surprise at receiving
one of your pieces of art, and that is really what my "File
Cabinet" is called .... each time I think of your effort and [my
husband's] plan, tears come to me .... Thank you, Andy, for the
joy of your talent ...."

"The
Christ Candle Stand and Processional Cross and Stand are examples of
Andrew’s
superb craftsmanship. These fine pieces of cherry bring a special
warmth and
beauty to our Sanctuary. It was a pleasure working closely with him in
creating
designs of simplistic elegance for these important pieces. He showed
great insight,
care, concern and dedication throughout the entire process; assuring a
design
that would reflect the unique architecture of our new church building."
