We were asked to create four of these altar chairs and to revise two existing chairs for a Methodist church located at Emory University in Atlanta, Ga. The needle point work was completed by six people within the church. We built the four chairs and installed the cushions and needle point backs. If you have a need to have chairs built, please let us know the dimensions, wood type, finishing type, i.e. painted, natural or stained, time frame, budget, etc. Thank you.
Denny and Claudia Debner
A Maker who has been a valued part of this community for several years.
Customers say that this Maker ships promptly after completing a project.
This Maker has consistently demonstrated excellence in craftsmanship and customer service.
For over four decades, we have enjoyed making award winning fine art, including oil painting, custom furniture and leather work.
Claudia studied the old masters styles of drawing and painting at The Atelier in Minneapolis, MN. She paints with feeling and passion with a specialization in two particular styles of combined impressionistic and abstract oil painting as well as still life. Her style has a bit of a whimsical feeling to it and her goal is to show the joy that she feels when she sees how God has created nature that she paints.
Denny uses lumber from local suppliers and saw mills. He has chosen to fill a market niche by utilizing reclaimed or lumber from trees from his customers that they find to be sentimental or historical in their families.
He looks for opportunities to work with clients who desire a new and fresh design in their furniture and leather work. All of these areas allow for a way to fill a need that often is not available in the retail market. For example, the picture of the kitchen table made of oak and granite were not available either in size or of materials and led to the chance to develop them both for personal use as well as for availability to customers who are interested.
Leather and wood furniture are especially great projects to work on with our clientele and we look forward to each persons ideas and input as we build together.
Thank you very much for considering working with us on your Custom Made project.

For Aaron's Cutting BoardCrafter was professional and easy to communicate with. Initially, I was looking for one thing, but due to budget constraints i had to rethink my idea. Crafter took time to help me with my idea and was able to incorporate changes and additions in order to give me a finished product that i was happy with. The finish product is golden, and i would definitely contact crafter again for future projects. A pleasure to work with.

For Walnut End Grain Cutting BoardIf we could give Debner Fine Art and Furniture 10 stars we would!!! We were in the market for an oversized end grain walnut cutting board. We had no luck finding this through big box stores. We did a search and found Debner Fine Art and Furniture. How lucky were we!! We reached out, got an immediate response, and described what we were looking for. We exchanged emails and inspiration pictures to get a quote. We then quickly went into production on our board. We were so impressed by the communication and collaboration. Our board was delivered today and just WOW!!! The craftsmanship and value are superior! This is truly an heirloom piece! Denny and Claudia were great to work with. Clearly they have great pride in their work, are extremely knowledgeable and talented!

Matthew Conte
For Custom Dining TableDenny & Claudia are an incredible team! They delivered our dining table on time and within budget. More than that, we came to them with an idea, a few pictures, and a pile of wood and they worked with us every step of the way to turn that into a dining room table we'll have for generations - truly a one of a kind masterpiece. This was a very sentimental project for us using 150 year old beams from my family farm in NY and they treated it as if it was their own. We can't thank them enough for the work they did but it's really the passion they put in to our table we're most thankful for. We give them the strongest recommendation possible! - Matthew & Estelle

Linda Matsui
For Custom Made Walnut Knife BlockOver the years, I refined my idea for my perfect knife block. Exasperated with the ones I had, I looked for a custom woodworker and found Denny online. I am so very happy with what he made me. Essentially two knifeblocks, they are absolutely gorgeous! I now have a perfect home for all my knives. Denny was great at communicating throughout the process. He also sent interim photos and included cutting board wax to keep the knifeblocks beautiful for years to come. I wholeheartedly recommend Debner Fine Art and Furniture. It was such a pleasure working with Denny and I couldn't be more happy with my knifeblocks.

Denny was sincerely concerned about making a cutting board just for us. He asked great questions and made great suggestions. It was a pleasure to work with him. The final product is just what we hoped for-- simple and elegant at the same time. Thanks so much for the great experience.

Denise Peloquin
For Black Walnut And Rock Maple End Grain Chopping BlockJust got delivery on my cutting board today. Denny sent me photos of the cutting board once he completed it last week, but the photos just didn't do it justice. This cutting board is Stunning! Well crafted with an awesome color. We spoke to each other via phone for a number of times so that Denny made sure that I knew exactly what modifications he was making that ultimately made the cutting board even more attractive. During the manufacture of this board, Denny was a pleasure to work with bringing his experience on the building of other cutting boards to the table in advising me what would work well in creating this useful kitchen tool. This cutting board is a beautiful addition to my kitchen, and I will enjoy using it everyday for many years to come!
