Kent's Custom Woodworking

Kent's Custom Woodworking Kent's Custom Woodworking Kent's Custom Woodworking is a page to show the furniture designs and pieces that have been hand crafted by Kent.

This started as a fun hobby about 10 years ago and has turned into a passion and eventually a small business. I make mostly Arts and Crafts pieces and particularly like the design features of Greene & Greene. The goal is to slowly build this into a part-time business and have it established as something to do in retirement. One of my goals is to continue to keep the tradition of hand-made solid wo

od furniture alive and well. This is the kind of furniture that can't be bought at a furniture store. All the wood comes from local trees harvested and taken to a local sawyer and cut into lumber. It is then dried for at least a year and then used to make these pieces. The end goal for me is to have a business where people can come and have a specific piece either designed for what they want or a replica made of something they have always wanted but can't purchase anywhere else.

My daughter needed a dresser that fit her bedroom. It’s not quite as deep as a regular dresser but just as wide. Made with quarter-sawn oak and half blind dovetail drawers. I love making things that will last for my family.

A person had this live edge slab of sycamore and wanted a coffee table. I was given free rein to make it work. It was very warped and took some effort to flatten it enough to get it to work. I used the small piece that was very warped and cut it in half to make the two legs. You can see that the grain matches. Then to stop it from cracking any further I inlay a couple black walnut butterflies. The tool I showed is a domino joiner and was the right thing to do with this piece.

Just finished a special project for a special couple. My son is getting married in October and I made a box for a wine bottle and a box for two glasses. The wood is Purple Heart and that is its natural look with just a clear finish. The engraving done by Isaac Ferrie.

I was contacted about trying to salvage and repair this old cradle. It was in a few pieces and I had to make replacement parts for a few broken or missing pieces. It was this persons great, great grandfather’s. While sanding and refinishing I found a stamp that said “Chicago Furniture Company 1880”. Pretty cool. It’s also a great design and rocks very smoothly.
