I had Mal make a Caba skateboard deck for me and source wheels bearings etc. Mal was extremely helpful with my needs and the board looks awesome. If your in the market for a beautiful timber skateboard cruiser then look no further, you've found your man.

I purchased a Roxy Vanity from Designs in Timber in a custom size to fit our very small & awkward ensuite. Mal was awesome to deal with and really knows his stuff! My vanity has tons of storage (way more than i had before) and is absolutely beautiful! Will definitely use Designs in Timber for our next furniture purchase. Thanks Mal!!
