Ladder Shelves, Leaning Bookshelf

$950

This is one of a pair of leaning ladder shelves created for a client in New York City. The shelves are made of solid black walnut from a salvaged tree sourced in central Massachusetts. This unit measures 84 inches tall by 20 inches wide by 17.5 inches deep at the base, but can be made in any dimensions to fit your needs. I can also make in your choice of wood. Using real, natural wood allows you to have something functional that is also beautiful, showcasing the character of the grain and drawing your attention as much to the piece as what you place upon it. This is a piece that will last a lifetime (if not more). This is a solid piece of furniture. The rails are a full 1.5 inches thick, and the shelves are 7/8" thick. It is a heavy, solid piece that will last a lifetime.

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.

      I 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.

      Kerry 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.

      The dining table Kerry made for us is truly a work of art. His communication throughout our project was wonderful, providing suggestions, full updates and photographs. 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.

      More than delighted with finished product, proud to display the workmanship in my home. When/if I ever need to send a thank you gift, I will be looking at this option instead of flowers, cost about the same and will last forever. Very pleased with Kerry's work and quick response to my communications, system seems to work well, so glad I found this site and was referred to him.
