Dear Gary, Austin, and Autumn,
The three pieces arrived today, carefully carried into the space by Plycon’s delivery folk. No damage of any sort, just a little tape residue here and there which comes off with a microfiber cloth.
And the pieces are beautiful. The photos on the web site made me confident, as did the explanations of how the designs came to be and were executed, but pictures just can’t capture what you have made for us. We’re particularly struck by the quiet elegance, the subtle detail, the way that all the furniture somehow combines a sort of humility and practicality with sheer beauty. And of course the craftsmanship is superb.
We’ve looked at lots of rockers over the years (Portland is that kind of town), but never found anything that seemed right, shaped to the body, friendly to the eye, confident in its own place in the world but not trying to make a statement. And the desk and accompanying chair are worthy kin.
We feel very lucky to have found your work, and are grateful to all who have put their hands to this project.
Best wishes,
R.K.

Hi Gary,
My enthusiasm is borrowed from my dad, who owns two of your rockers and is a little obsessed. :) My parents have a kitchen table and chairs from you too. He's been singing your praises for years, and I'm glad we can finally lay claim to our own Gary Weeks furniture!
Thank you!

Gary:
I just wanted to let you know how much we love our new table. It's gorgeous! The craftsmanship of you and your crew is really evident in its design, construction, and finish. I always admire and even envy really good craftsmen. With one leaf in the table its size is perfect for the two of use, and, with three leafs in, the rounded corner design makes is so we can easily seat ten. I am amazed how stable and sturdy the central pedestal design is even when expanded to its maximum. I could go on, but suffice it to say E and I think the table is beautiful. We really appreciate your great work.

I just wanted to send you an extra email to tell you how much I enjoy the table and chairs. When I sit in them, the word that comes to mind is "hug". I just feel cradled in these chairs. I have a very large friend and she loved her chair as well, the one WITH the arms! W. said completely out of the blue as we were sitting one day, "This is a FANTASTIC table" as he smoothed his hand over it. And I love telling the story about how I found you again after so many years!
Just wanted you to know :-) Feel free to use whatever you want in what I say as a testimonial.
All the best in the meantime,

The van just left and our house now looks like a home with a real dining table and chairs and the rocker in the living room. No more card table and garden chair. We will send some photos soon. Many thanks again for your beautiful craftsmanship.
