Federal Demilune Table
Federal-style demilune card table, made of solid mahogany and crotch-mahogany and figured maple veneer. This 18th century reproduction table features extensive handmade holly inlay decorations of bellflowers, cross-banding, and figured maple patterae that provide an amazing color contrast to the beautiful mahogany background. While the table is designed to be placed against a wall, the top does flip over and is supported by the rear-left leg, which swings out on a gate. The table measures 18"x36" (closed). The table is constructed in a true period manner. The apron is "bricklaid", then cut to a curve. The legs are solid mahogany, attached to swinging rails by mortise and tenon joints at the rear of the table, and with bridle joints to the curved apron. The upper and lower tops are cut from choice solid mahogany; and the edges are carefully highlighted by contrasting stringing.

For Custom Cutting Boards5.0So easy and efficient dealing with Kerry. I'm sorry it took me this long to post a review, but Christmas chaos prevented it!
The cutting board is so very special and if I could have given the 'Value' of the board more stars than 5, I would have. It's just beautiful. I will be in touch with Kerry one last time to ask for his expertise on caring for my new board. Thanks so much for beautiful craftsmanship!

For Expanding Dining Table5.0Kerry was a dream to work with. We had a house fire and lost everything. We had a particular dinning room table that we looked for two months to replace and could not find. Then I found CustomMade and Kerry.
Kerry listened to our description and knew exactly what we had. We wanted to tweek the design a little and he was more than up to the task, even offering other suggestions that made our great table even better.
Kerry returned every text, email, and call on a timely manner and provided pictures along the way. When he got to the finishing stage, he sent us four small pieces of discarded wood that had variations of the finish we wanted. This one part of the experience makes for a finished product that you cannot be unhappy with.- CI

For solid walnut slab bench with steel base5.0Kerry's work is top notch and he's extremely professional & easy to communicate with. He worked with me to design exactly what we wanted (a wood live-edge bench of specific dimensions-- we're going to use it as a coffee table). He kept us updated along the way, sending photos of the slab he'd chosen based on our requirements (with a bit of it oiled so we'd get a sense of how the final product would look) and sending a drawing of the placement of the flat steel legs, so we were all on the same page when he began the work. He responded quickly to messages, and the time frame was as described. Most important, the final product is GORGEOUS. Very solid and well-made, quite beautiful. BTW, I marked 5 stars for shipping b/c I had to complete that part to submit the review, but actually we decided to go pick it up ourselves since Kerry's shop is fairly close to us (though delivery was included in the price he quoted us).

For Kennethkj0846l's Dining Table4.7We are delighted with the overall experience with K. Smith Custom Woodworking. Kerry was a great help in initially refining a solution to our dining table needs. His professionalism during the manufacturing of the product was first rate. The finished product exceeded the quality you would experience in a store bought item. We would purchase from Kerry again and not be shy to recommend him to anyone needing a custom piece of woodwork.

Personal Delivery was on time and efficient. Kerry is a professional woodworker who invests great care and passion in his craft. As such I would highly recommend him.
