“This Christmas l needed two special gifts. I contacted Against the Grain Outdoors, and l am so happy l did!! They were so helpful, messaging with me and sending lots of photos along the way. As well as helpful, they were so friendly!!! My very good friends loved the beautiful charcuterie board! My daughter has been talking about the Beaver welcome carving she saw months ago. She was so excited when l gave her one Christmas morning! The whole family loves it so much they are keeping it in the house. We are so lucky to have such talent in our community! Thankyou so much, all the best in the New Year!!! ”

“If I could give 10 stars I would! They were so helpful when I was in a time crunch. We were having friends over for a holiday get together and I was determined to have a charcuterie board. I was recommended by a local mom in one of the mom groups. When I contacted Against the grain they were so helpful from the beginning. Everything was done over the phone. I told her what I wanted and we communicated over text during the whole process. 24 hours later my perfect board was complete and ready to use. I’m so happy with our it turned out and all our guests were so impressed. Thank you against the grain outdoors for the wonderful prompt service, we can’t wait to buy more from you.’’

“Andrew and Shannon are amazing. Their craftmanship, attention to detail and customer service are outstanding. Thank you for the restoration and bringing color to our older carvings of Rocky Bullwinkle and Fozzie (the bear). I have gnomes for the garden in the spring and a dough bowl as a center piece on my table set for Christmas. Your visits to pick up/drop off finished projects were great. You kept in touch throughout to ensure each project was completed to our expectations. You nailed it each time. We look forward to the next project you will complete for us.’’
