Deb and Jim are awesome! We had such a fun day, with our grandsons watching the carving and Jim making them each their own bear crayon holders! What a great memory! And .... we now have a great little bear family in our back yard -- thanks so much!

Annie and I loved the on-site carve of a climbing bear after a Bee hive and an eagle on the top of the stump. Very enjoyable watching the process. My 8 grandkids enjoyed their fishing bears. They were truly excited! The personalized bear for my teenage granddaughter with her name on it was a definite hit. You guys were super good with the big audience and also the number of dogs everyone brought with them too. Thanks again!

If I could give 10 stars I would! From the questions stage....to the planning stage to the scheduling stage..they were so easy to work with! Then, on-site today....what an amazing thing to watch! They are so kind and talented! I feel blessed to have met them and I look forward to seeing them again next year for more projects I hope to have done! They were completely affordable and friendly! My stump..turned bear is so much more than I ever expected! I am 100% satisfied!!

I'd like to take a minute to thank Jim and Deb for the wonderful wooden bear bench that they carved for us, and we recently picked up! My husband and I were looking for the perfect gift for our parents as a thank you gift for helping us with our wedding, so when I came across Ritlways I of course had to get in touch with them, so I sent ideas of what we were looking for, and Jim was more then willing to help us with this perfect gift. He posted pictures of the making of the bench on their FB page while he was working on it which was wonderful to see. The work that he does is beyond beautiful, and Deb puts the perfect finishing touch on them, the bench turned out even better then I could ever imagine, along with our cute Bear welcome sign that we received from them as well, so much detail in everything, and such reasonable prices for good quality work. Jim and Deb are such friendly people, talking with them when we picked up our purchase and learning about their business and why they do it made me realize how great of people they are. Thank you both again so much for working with us.

I got my package yesterday. But just had time to open. I am impressed beyond words. The pictures you sent didn't do them justice. The details in the airplane for the 3d effect is awesome. Can't wait to see my Daddys face when he opens it. I can't thank you enough.

I just wanted to say thanks and what a great job you two did on the projects you did for me. The last name sign with the deer head and the bear head looks awesome. Everyone that comes over loves the sign. Also the carving you did of my brothers dog was a big hit also. It looks exactly like Deuce. I can’t wait to see what you come up with next for future projects.

Just wanted to let you know we love the sign and our little bear! Thank you so much. We will spread the word and will be back for more.

Jim and Debbie were very professional and kept me informed throughout the whole process. They even modified the final paint job of the carving at my request. I was impressed. They updated me on the progress of my order with pictures of my carving and went out of their way to deliver the product directly to my door. It was also nice to receive a thank you note in the mail appreciating my patronage. I have recommended them to some of my friends and will continue to do so. Thanks!

Working with Jim and wife was amazing. I have never worked with such awesome people. When I placed the order the double checked with me to make sure spelling was right. To me that was the best part and they always gave me a heads up on the progress. Which was nice to know how things were going. I am for surely going to be buying stuff from them in the furture wouldn't go any where else. Everybody that comes to my house and sees it always ask where I got it from and I tell them.

"I have had nothing but EXCELLENT customer service and relation with Jim and Debbie. They are both very down to earth and good hearted people. Jim has worked very efficiently on my pieces I have ordered and I love all of them. When we went to go pick up our pieces they welcomed us with open arms, also it was pretty amazing to see his work area. Jim and Debbie take awesome care of all their customers and have not only great work as I stated before, but very fair prices. Everything I have gotten is worth every penny. Not an once of disappointment will come from these two and I HIGHLY recommend just even giving them a call with any questions or ideas!"

"I contacted Jim and Deb this past summer looking for a custom sign to go in our front yard for my Fiancés birthday. I received a quick response explaining pricing, wood types, sizes, etc. Once we had everything picked out, I asked if it could be done within two weeks, and with Jims already busy schedule, he made it work so that I could give it to Kyle on time for his birthday! Jim and Deb were willing to drive an hour to deliver the gift and make it a surprise. They helped us set up the sign where we wanted it, and then explained the aftercare to ensure that the sign gets the care it needs. A few months later, Kyle and I received a custom made bench as a gift made by Jim. We use it all the time while sitting around the campfire, and we love it!

"My husband and I had the pleasure of meeting Jim and Debbie by chance one day. We drove by their display in Mauston and just had to stop. We were amazed by the carvings they had created. After looking at all the unique pieces, it was very hard to decide on just one favorite... So we purchased two of the carvings. Jim and Debbie were so kind to us and a pleasure to talk to. After we left, my husband and I couldn't stop talking about a beautiful bench we saw and an Eagle Welcome post. We ended up going back to Jim and Debbie again, and purchased the bench and welcome post. This is some of the best wood carvings we have seen! Jim's passion and ambition for wood carving is obvious in his craftsmanship. Each carving is unique and perfected to the smallest detail. Jim and Debbie are genuine, they make a great team and outstanding carvings! We highly recommend, as you won't be disappointed."

"I just wanted to take a minute to thank Jim and his wife Deb for the beautiful bears he had carved for me.I saw two cute ones he had carved,got them(they had lights) then saw another one,he told me it sold..but could carve another,and he did,Well long story short I am now the proud owner of 6 bears..did give one for a birthday gift and they loved the Welcome sign and fish on a pole bear.And he did all that and then Jim and Deb delivered them. If this kind of art is for you I do so recommend Jim Polanek SR at RITLWAYS.COM..PS..he carves so much more items.take a look at his page..he even takes the time to tell you how to care for your carvings so they last."
