Beautiful custom wood pieces, I ordered a custom sign and asked if Andrew could make something very different to his normal pieces as well. He was very thoughtful with his work, the custom pieces are incredibly well made, and his customer service was second to none. I would highly recommend Andrew's work and will order again in the future for sure!

The sign we received from Andrew exceeded our expectations! We knew what it was going to look like as Andrew provided proof concepts, however in person the sign is mind blowing! We are so proud to display this out the front of our house and am worried it may be stolen it looks that great! Thanks Andrew for such a wonderful product and service.

I have commissioned signs from Andrew at Australian Workshop Creations several times in the past three years. I appreciate the creativity, his patience and his careful use of sustainable timbers, as well as his dedication to the local economy. He is very easy to order from and does stellar workmanship. I cannot recommend his studio highly enough! I'll be ordering from him again in the future.

Great customer service, high quality workmanship. Andrew was really quick to reply to my request for a design and quote, and made edits until I was happy with how the draft looked. He then worked to get the sign finished extra quickly as it was a present and needed to arrive in time for a birthday. I'm so happy with the result and would highly recommend Australian Workshop Creations.

Andrew was absolutely fantastic to work with and I would definitely use his business again for other pieces! He was extremely prompt and patient in answering my hundreds of questions. Andrew also offered plenty of ideas and suggestions to help out while I was choosing the design. The price was very reasonable for the quality of work that showed up on my doorstep - me and my partner were very impressed. We love how intricate and individualistic the piece is! Thanks for everything Andrew, looking forward to speaking with you in the future.

Andrew created the most exquisite Jewellery Box for me. It is superbly handcrafted and will by far outlast this lifetime. While it took longer than either of us expected it was certainly worth the wait! I couldn't recommend Andrew's craftsmanship highly enough! I'm sure you would not be disappointed with is creation for you.

Can not speak highly enough of the beautiful sign created by Andrew at Australian Workshop Creations. Andrew was extremely helpful during planning of our property sign, offering digital mock ups of different designs, fonts and pictures. The sign was completed very quickly and the finished product was absolutely stunning, a work of art, we are thrilled with our sign. I highly recommend Andrew's work, customer service and pricing to anyone considering ordering a piece. Thank you SO much Andrew :
