This dining table is made of 150 year old plus maple that was reclaimed from a family barn in upstate New York. The great grandfather of this family originally immigrated to New York from Ireland. As he was a potato farmer, he did well and eventually enlarged the family business. This barn has great sentimental value to this young couple that commissioned us to build this table. The dimensions are: 80 inches long x 38 inches wide x 30 inches high. This lumber was quite cracked so we stabilized it with a mahogany inca and epoxy mixture. It took multiple fillings to complete this process but it really enhanced the look of this table. If you have lumber that you would like to use for your project, please let us know and we will work with you on the design, color/finish, etc. Please note that the cost of this table for our customer was for the labor and materials to enhance this lumber. It will vary depending upon these costs and hours of labor. Thank you.

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 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 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 Live Edge Chocolate Black Walnut Slab TablesThey have surpassed my exceptions on my 2 end tables. They communicated with me throughout the process and make it easy to deal with them. I do plan to use them in the future for some work I am dreaming about.

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 Wood with Live Edge Made into a DeskI had an excellent experience with the making of my desk. Denny took an old piece of wood and made it into one of the most beautiful desks that I'd ever seen. From beginning-to-end, I was overwhelmed with the timeliness, communication and professionalism. Denny and Claudia are extremely skilled at what they do and I would love to work with them again and recommend anyone who wants something unique and well-done to give them a try. My project was done well within the time that it was promised. This was a wonderful first experience getting something custom-made. I am already contemplating what I'd like them to create for me on my next project!
