This customized vertical walnut knife block has specifically made slots for a variation of knives, including a chef's knife with a two inch wide x 14 inch long blade. Our Custom Made client sent us his knives so that we could fit each knife to this block. The walnut has a variation of coloration in the wood grain and it has a beautiful appearance. There are four non-skid rubber feet on the bottom of this knife block. If you wish to have a Custom Made knife block made, you can also choose from other wood types, i.e. maple, cherry, sycamore, oak, etc. or a combination. There are several coats of hand rubbed local beeswax, paraffin and food safe mineral oil applied to this block. Thank you for considering us to make your knife block.
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 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!!

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!

For Display table with glass topIm extremely pleased with the cutting board Denny made for me! My project took a few turns along the way, but each time I changed my mind on the design Denny was very patient and helped me with his expertise and creativity.
He delivered the project ahead of schedule and its more than a cutting board, its a piece of art!
I give Denny my highest recommendation and would use him again in the future.

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.

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.
