Customer Testimonials
(Some unedited feedback from Blue Spruce Toolworks, LLC customers)


"Just wanted to drop you a note telling you how much I've been enjoying
my skewed chisels you made for me.  Every time I pick one up, I get this
pleasant feeling of using a really fine tool for the right purpose, in
this case, cleaning up dovetails.  I'll probably get your bench chisel
set next. "

"The chisels came and really look terrific!"

"I just wanted to thank you for being the “cherry topping” to my Woodworker Christmas!  I had very few, well-made tools on my list, but the one I looked forward to the most was my Blue Spruce Toolworks marking knife.  I’ve wanted one since before that article in Woodworking Magazine by Chris Schwarz; I’m not really sure why I didn’t pick one up sooner. After a few short minutes of flattening and honing on the ceramic stone, my new marking knife is ready to go! I just wanted to thank you personally for providing woodworkers with such quality craftsmanship in a tool."

 "My favorite Christmas present this year is an amazing set of Blue Spruce chisels from my wife.  I can't wait to try them out.  The African blackwood is beautiful.  Great job on the details!" 

"Just got into town and opened the beautiful presentation and was amazed at the marking knife! The most beautiful, yet useful, tool I own."

"I just got the marking knife; it is beautiful and I know my husband will love it and use it for many years to come.  Thanks for expediting the knife.  Merry Christmas."

"Received my two skew chisels just now, and wanted to tell you that they
LOOK FINE!  Can't wait to go home and try them. Very nice quality
craftmanship - First Class!"

 "Just received the set of chisels and marking knifes.  They are absolutely beautiful.  The marking knife is one of the best I have ever seen."

"Received my order yesterday.  Thanks so much.  I was very impressed by the quality of the marking knives and rushed out to my shop last night to try them out.  Outstanding tools.  Congratulations and thanks for a great product. "

"Received the Marking Knife Set + Large Awl & was impressed with the craftsmanship of the Knives & Awls they are really work friendly & will certainly get a lot of use. I am glad I chose the Cocobolo."

"WOW!  These are amazing. They seem more like artwork than tools. They are absolutely beautiful and I can't wait to use them."

"Upon opening your chisels and drawbore tools last week I was amazed. They are absolutely beautiful. The real benefit is they cut as well as they look. I am fortunate to have quite a few sets of high end chisels. I will now place yours at the top of the list."

"I received the knives the other day in the mail. They are really beautiful and quite a work of art!"

"I find myself using your magnificent chisels everyday I spend time in my shop.  Thanks again for making each size chisel handle with a different wood.  They are gorgeous tools, but pretty-is-as-pretty-does, and your chisels cut as beautifully as they look.  I highly recommend your chisels to anyone who wants a superior tool for detailing and dovetailing."

"I received the marking knife last night when I got home from an old tools meet.  I must say that it is gorgeous.  It is stunningly elegant.  I don’t know how you got the idea of a small blade, but it looks like just what I am looking for."

"I received the beautiful marking knife on Saturday and am very pleased with it.  Thanks for the nice note and the tips about sharpening the blade."

"Just to let you know the chisels arrived today and are every bit as good as they sounded.  You were right about the handles - the cocobolo is wonderful.  I can't wait to create a 'work of art' with them. Thanks again!"

"Received your marking knife.  It is beautiful, functional and well made."

"Thank you so much for the magnificent chisels.  My surgical residency makes time ever so precious.  That wood had been lost into the Atlantic as dock crossmember for at least 60 years.  My dad reclaimed it thinking it would be interesting for his avid woodworking interest.  What a surprise he had opening that set of chisels for Christmas!"

"I received the marking knife set last week, but a houseful of kids prevented me from doing much of anything.  I just wanted to thank you and express my admiration for your craftsmanship.  I have been a lover of fine woodworking tools for most of my life and these make a fine addition to my collection of handsome, well designed, and well made tools."
 
"It came yesterday.  All I can say is Wow!  Beautiful wood and beautiful workmanship! 
The balance and handle shape are perfect. I love the orange color that this piece of cocobolo has...very distinctive."

"I got the knives Saturday.  I was really surprised when I opened the box.  Your craftsmanship is the best. I didn't expect them to be that beautiful. Thanks.  I will appreciate these knives every time I use them."

"The tools arrived last Friday. I've had a chance to use them a bit and am very pleased with them. The fit in the hand and overall balance is very comfortable. You did an outstanding job matching up the grain on all of the handles and showing it to its' best effect."

"I opened your tools Father's Day and was well pleased. They certainly are a beautiful set and I look forward to using them. You do nice work,-- that's for sure."

"I just wanted to let you know that I received the knife set yesterday, and it is fantastic!  The curly maple handles came out really well, and all of the tools have a nice balance and feel.  Please keep me informed on new products that you offer.  I appreciate your work and look forward to using your tools for years to come."

"Just wanted to let you know that I received the knife yesterday. Thanks for the fast shipping.  As for the knife, WOW what a beautiful tool!  I agreed with my wife when she said 'it is almost too pretty to use'.  I also appreciated your unique packaging."

set! I really appreciate the beauty and quality of your workmanship. I am
certain that I will have a lifetime of pleasure each time I use the tools."
