Blanket chest made with curly cherry on Chippendale-style ogee bracket feet. This chest is made from premium solid Pennsylvania cherry. The boards for the front and sides come from the same log so that the continuous grain wraps around the chest for a clean look that allows the spectacular figure of the wood to attract all of the attention. The front corners are mitered and the rear corners are dovetailed. The floor of the chest is made of ship lapped solid cedar planks. Dimensions are 39"wide x 29"tall x 19"deep, but can be customized to your needs, along with choice of wood.

About Me
With a 30-year career in the media industry, I understand the importance of client service, meeting (and exceeding) expectations, and superior craftsmanship. I use hand-selected American hardwoods sourced from local mills, and for some projects, reclaimed materials from century-old barns, to create unique heirloom pieces that you'll be proud to showcase in your home or office.
About My Work
Whether it's custom cabinetry or a one-of-a-kind piece of furniture, I treat every commission like it's for a friend. I use traditional joinery techniques and the finest materials and finishes to ensure that your piece not only looks beautiful, but will also last for generations.
I'm a member of the Society of American Period Furniture Makers, and the Cabinet Makers Association.

For Expanding Dining TableKerry 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.

For solid walnut slab bench with steel baseKerry'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 TableWe 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.

For Custom Cutting BoardsTara Greichen
For Custom Cutting BoardsI love how the cutting board came out! The design was even better than what I thought it would be. This was a gift for my mom who is an interior designer and she loved it as well. It was very easy working with Kerry and he responded promptly to any requests. He did a great job piecing together all of my requests to make a beautiful cutting board! I would recommend him to anyone and look forward to hopefully ordering more products from him.
