During the past year, we have had requests to make a vertical standing knife block; quite different from the standard blocks that protrude at an angle. Each slot in the block is customized to allow the knife to fit securely and in unison with the other knives. It is as much for efficiency as it is an artful design. This walnut block listed is 17" long x 3.5" wide x 9" high. It also has a slot for scissors. It has three coats of hand rubbed beeswax and food safe mineral oil applied as well. We also sell containers of this same formula, if you wish to purchase it. If you would like to have a knife block customized for your knife set, please contact us.The price of this knife block doesn't include any knives, as we don't sell them. Thank you very much.
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 Black Walnut Dining Table- Extra Dark Espresso StainI highly recommend Debner Fine Art and Furniture Company. I ordered a walnut espresso 60x60 square table for my kitchen. Dennis and Claudia were an absolute pleasure to work with and the final product was simply beautiful. They did a wonderful job of keeping me updated on the progress of my project and completed the project ahead of schedule to accommodate a family visit. The quality of their work and customer service are outstanding. I look forward to working with them on future projects.

For Juan's dining setWOW! Just WOW. This has been the single best decision I have ever made. Venturing on the path to find THE dinning table that will be part of all of my family's future memories I turned to Mr. Debner for his expertise and I am so glad I did. The whole experience was extremely personal. Denny is the only person I would trust with any future projects. Having constant communication with Denny, constant updates with pictures included, from the tiniest detail of obtaining the exact staining color we wanted sending multiple samples with different coats and awaiting our feedback, to the design of the pedestals, picking the wood, exact measurements, etc… everything has been so easy thanks to Denny and his wife Claudia's talents. But mostly, thanks to them being such wonderful people, going out of their way to put themselves in their customers shoes and approaching the project trying to make the best table they could. The table is even more beautiful than what we had anticipated. I wholeheartedly recommend anyone to work with this wonderful person in their next project as you will definitely be glad you did. I can't wait to start my next project with Denny. 10/10. 5 stars. Two thumbs up. A+.

For Customized Walnut Vertical Knife BlockI am very pleased with the timeliness, professionalism and quality of product in regard to my customized walnut vertical knife block. I very rarely provide product reviews, however Denny and his product impressed me so much I felt compelled to offer this review. I would not hesitate in contacting the Debner's for these custom products.

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!!!!!!!!!!!
