A wonderful couple was looking for a custom made dining table. They had been searching for the right design, size, color/stain, wood type, etc. for quite some time. When they decided to review and list on Custom Made, I replied to their request. It was an extremely enjoyable experience for all of us. My wife Claudia, being an artist, was able to provide the exact stain color match for this table, which is made of black walnut, purchased locally in the Atlanta, GA area. Juan and Claudia were also looking for dual pedestal bases for this table, which is 86" L x 42" W x 30" H. We made the pedestals to support the width and length of the table, to provide specific stability and as well as to allow for their new parson's chairs to fit underneath the table, without blocking them. The table top design is made with the boards being planed to 7/8" thick and are randomly cut in width. There is also a border edge around the entire table top, measuring 7/8" thick x 1 3/4" in depth that provides wonderful stability as well as being aesthetically pleasing to the eye in design. When we delivered this table to their beautiful home, we were asked if we would like to join this wonderful medical team (they are doctors) for dinner, being seated at their new dining table, which was an honor for us. Shipping of this table, which for long distances is more expensive and would be crated for protection and ease of shipping on a ground carrier. I am posting the most expensive rate to the farthest distance to the upper east and west coast of the U.S. The shipping cost would be adjusted for each client, depending upon the final destination. We will include the cost of delivery, within six hours of our home in Sharpsburg, GA, as we can deliver it without another common ground carrier.
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.

The finish product is golden, and i would definitely contact crafter again for future projects. A pleasure to work with.
Jennifer Vance
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!

For Custom knife blockI am extremely pleased with the work that Denny did to make my custom knife block. He was timely and professional in responding to all messages and more importantly, was proactive in his communications.

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.

For Jeff's Cutting BoardI wanted a custom made cutting board for my wife's birthday. I selected Denny based on his previous reviews and it was a great choice. 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!
Jennifer McGroarty
For Jennifer's wood tool caddyI received my walnut tool caddy - it is absolutely gorgeous. I can't believe what beautiful craftsmanship - the dovetail joints were so intricately placed and the beeswax finish gives it a smooth, clean look. Denny was absolutely wonderful to work with - very professional and everything was done in a timely manner. It was safely packaged and arrived perfectly. It is so nice to have this handmade caddy to put our tools in - (so much better than the old plastic container)! My daughter and I were excited to receive the tool box, and when we got it, just couldn't believe the beautiful work - THANK you, Denny!!
David Jakubowski
For Walnut Vertical Hand Crafted Chef's Knife BlockThis was my first experience with 'Custom Made' and certainly my first with Debner. What I was looking for, I was not able to find anywhere else. I had a set of kitchen and steak knives commissioned for me, and I was looking for a custom knife block that was very rustic that would compliment the more refined look of the knives. Debner Fine Art and Furniture was excited about the project and offered lots of great ideas and suggestions. I got to review wood samples and was sent photos and status updates every step of the way. The finished product is AMAZING and is truly a work of art. I can't be happier with the entire process from start to finish. Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!
Wendy Bennett
For Walnut Cutting BoardFrom start to finish, Denny's interest, effort and expertise was perfect. He eagerly sought my input for our customized gift, then proceeded to efficiently and beautifully produce an exceptional and unique work of functional art [a two-sided meat/cheese board]. We will return to him for future purchases and we recommend Debner Fine Art and Furniture for an excellent experience and result. THANKS DENNY!
Eric Clayton
For Walnut Knife BlockThe Debners did a great job. I ordered a knife block. They live 30 minutes from me so I was able to bring my knives to them and they made custom slots for me. They were in constant communication and never failed to deliver on there promises. Complete satisfaction.
Glenn Weintraub
For Barnwood TraysDenny not only provided a quality product, but installed it for us, going above and beyond what any other person we had found was able to offer. But THAT wasn't the why we chose Debner; Denny takes as much pride in the quality of his materials as he does with his production, which is a rare combination. Denny truly is a "Master Craftsman".
