Charcuterie looks better when it’s on a custom made board (and has a lot of chocolate). Loved being able to use one of our huge cutting boards as a dessert charcuterie board for a friend’s engagement party recently!

When your vision is as big as your table 🥳

Loved building this for a family who truly values time around the table, and for gathering others to have community alongside of them.

Our Story

My name is Brad Ellis, and I’m the owner and operator of Ellis Custom Creations. I met my beautiful wife, Kathryn, while working together at a Christian sports camp in Branson, MO called Kanakuk. We have a wonderfully wild 2-year-old daughter named Hattie that makes us laugh and smile every day.

In our first years of marriage, we were living in Prairie Village while I worked a corporate job and Kathryn worked for a local non-profit ministry. While working on furnishing our home, Kathryn told me she wanted a coffee table for our living room. I remember looking at options in the big box stores and realizing the lack of quality and originality that they offered, so I decided to take on the woodworking project myself.

After purchasing a few basic tools, watching hours of tutorial videos, and reading countless woodworking articles, I somehow managed to build a rustic coffee table for our home. It was anything but perfect, but it was functional, it was original, it was handcrafted, and it was ours. In the years that followed, my love for woodworking continued to grow.

One day, on a whim, I decided to post an ad with a picture of my coffee table online. I received an order to build that same coffee table. I made a $30 profit, and I remember literally doing a small happy dance to Kathryn when it got picked up! After continuing to post to Craigslist and Facebook, I gained a bit of a following. Between my two jobs, I was working 16+ hour days, and eventually received enough orders to take a leap of faith (thanks to Kathryn’s love and support) and quit my corporate job to pursue the company full-time. Since then, we’ve continued to grow into a company that has built pieces of furniture for over 300 homes, businesses, and churches in Kansas City and beyond.
