Rustic Walnut And Maple Knife Block
I was asked if I would make a very rustic knife block that also includes a side slot for a fork. This block also includes a slot for a pair of kitchen scissors. The uniqueness of this block is the use of bark, wormwood and a live edge piece of wood, all hand rubbed with a product that we make made of local beeswax and two other ingredients. This food safe product brings out the beauty of the bark and the wood grain. The dimensions are 12 inches high and it is sloped at an angle. The front section supports the taller knife slot areas of the block and contains places for six steak knives. If you have a request for a similar block, please contact us. Each block is made to be unique, dependent upon the wood that we have available. Thank you for your interest.

Great service
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 Jennifer's wood tool caddy5.0I 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!!

For Customized Walnut Vertical Knife Block5.0I 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 Carol's Cabinets5.0We love our custom vanity from Debner Fine Art and Framing! It turned out beautiful and is very well made. This husband and wife team were so easy to work with and they really took the time to make sure I got exactly what I wanted. We would definitely work again with them if we needed something in the future.
