But, VanEss Expressions is more than just clocks. VanEss Expressions is a small Minnesota familiy business, creating unique & unusual, original & custom wooden gifts, clocks, home decor & home furnishings, hand-turned vases & bowls, and distinctive wooden furniture.VanEss Expressions is all about Wood
All of our pieces are 100% solid hardwood ~ no pine, plywood, or laminates. We use a variety of wood stains & dyes to enhance the grain or add color- but we never paint wood.
VanEss Expressions is all about Quality
Each item is individually & personally handmade by us ~ from the original design, to the selection of the wood, to the very last coat of varnish ~ and we do it one piece at a time.
VanEss Expressions is all about Customer Satisfaction
We stand behind our work and work with our customers. Most of our sales are from repeat business or referrals ~ and that's the way we like it.
