TESTIMONIALS
For several years, we had been in search of a bottle tree similar to those we'd seen in Southern gardens. The belief is that evil spirits are captured in the bottles, and good spirits will enter your yard. We found one we envisioned, and the owners were kind enough to let us take a picture. We were unable to find someone to create our tree until we met Jodi and Derek in their Pipe Dream Designs (now Fultz Forge) booth at the Illinois State Master Gardeners convention. They took our idea and created their version. They were wonderful to work with, and were receptive to changes we suggested. Jodi and Derek were also willing to bring our bottle tree to a show they were participating in, which was closer to our home, rather than us driving to them. We LOVE our commissioned piece, and will certainly use and recommend Jodi and Derek for any further handcrafted metal art projects.

Pipe Dream Designs (now Fultz Forge) created a wonderful poet's tree for me. I wanted a tree to hang my students' poetry from and what they created was even better than I had imagined. Their work is high quality, specific to instruction, and enhanced by their interest and creativity. The poet's tree they created is an exceptionally fine piece and it is something I will treasure, as I treasure the bottle tree they created for my garden. They are responsive, caring, and timely when doing special orders. Every piece they create will become a treasured heirloom guaranteed to last for many many years. I recommend them highly!

,,,I smile everytime I look at our family tree. I think of Derek and Jodi Fultz, knowing that they have invested a piece of their heart in this creation. I owe Pipe Dream Design (now Fultz Forge) my sincere gratitude for sharing their artistic gifts with the world. See more from this client...

I have used Fultz Forge for two unique designs, a stainless steel hosta and water fountain. I get lots of comments about both sculptures. They have been great to work with and I would use them again.

We bought our stainless steel caladium sculpture in 2010. I can honestly say nearly five years later it looks just as great as the day we bought it. It has even survived what was officially 'straight line winds' that somehow picked up the sculpture from under a tree and deposited it five doors down, across the street and behind the neighbor's house. It didn't have a scratch on it!! If that isn't quality workmanship, I don't know what is. Jennifer Nelson - Monticello, IL

The Fultz's were a pleasure to work with from the start of the design, process to the time of delivery. We couldn't be happier with the quality and turn around time of the solid, unique accent to our home.
