Family Chessboard
This chessboard was designed by my grandson. The squares measure 2.25 inches. He requested the top to be hinged so that there is a storage area inside to place both the light and dark colored chess pieces. I finished the chessboard with several coats of a very durable varnish, sealing the natural coloration of the mahogany and sycamore wood. Drawers can also be an option for storage, eliminating the need to hinge the top and bottom of the chessboard. I am open to your suggestions of design and wood type. Please allow a minimum of eight weeks for me to custom build it for you. Thank you.

Meet the Maker
Denny and Claudia Debner
Debner Fine Art and Furniture
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.

Jun 29, 2018I must express my total satisfaction with Denny and Claudia. They delivered early. The Quality of the item made was top. It is very very beautiful. I spoke to Denny numerous at his request to make sure he understood exactly what I wanted and needed. His Communication skills are top. He kept me abreast the entire time then arranged delivery. He then called to make sure the delivery was done well and the condition of the item was undamaged. If more people had this kind of pride in their work. Our country would be a better place. I am now proud to call Debner Fine Art and Funiture and its owners Denny and Claudia. A preferred Vendor of Beverly Hills Luxury Interiors and all of the Kenneth Bordewick Design Group. I am even more proud to call them my Friend. Thank you and warm regards Kenneth Bordewick

Jul 16, 2022I 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.

Sep 26, 2019I 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.

Dec 1, 2018Im 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.
