A wonderful new version of the antique writing box. This box is made from figured cherry. It measures sixteen inches long, eight inches deep and five inches tall. It is made to hold writing tools and a A-5 size journal. The writing slopes are hinged to provide access to storage compartments found beneath the slopes. The box measures sixteen inches long, eight inches wide and five inches tall. It is made entirely of figured cherry wood, no secondary woods are used. The spinner knob and attached lever are made from rosewood. All the hardware is brass. the hinges are custom made for me by a local machinist. The box is finished with six coats of varnish, polished to a silky smoothness.

  • Long-time member

    A Maker who has been a valued part of this community for several years.

  • Fast shipper

    Customers say that this Maker ships promptly after completing a project.

  • Great service

    This Maker has consistently demonstrated excellence in craftsmanship and customer service.

I am a custom furniture maker with more than twenty five years of experience making fine furniture. I work in a large workshop located next to my home. I have successfully completed hundreds of custom furniture orders.

I have designed, built, and shipped many large pieces of furniture to customers through CustomMade.com, now Maker Marketplace.com, Etsy and my Shopify store. The furniture has been well received. Customers usually comment on the quality of the piece(s), the materials, and the level of craftsmanship.

The process begins with a message from the potential customer. I follow up with design drawings and a proposal that includes the price, delivery date, and a written description of the furniture with all the special details. I am responsible for all the shipping arrangements.

Thank you for visiting my Maker Marketplace site. I look forward to hearing from you about your custom furniture ideas and how we can collaborate on creating them.

    For Retail Display For Essential Oil Bottles

    David made several great suggestions that improved on my original custom design. This was not for holding vials of essential oils, the vials hold rock samples taken every 10 feet from the surface down to 340 feet while we were drilling our well. The display shows an interesting variation of rock types at different depths. You'd have to be a geologist to really appreciate this display. Looks museum-grade. 5 stars all around!

    David Klenk put up with a lot. I knew what i wanted but couldn't describe it well. He had to talk me through it a hundred times and when we were finished I had a great product. So great, in fact, I bought an extra one. This guy is patient and can help clarify what you want, which isn't always how you start out.
    On top of all that he was fast to communicate and the packing might have been a more spectacular project than what I asked for.
    You can't go wrong with David Klenk.

    For Small Tray With Handle
    5.0

    I received David's Small Tray with Handle. It's a beautifully designed and crafted small piece. Great wood selection and careful attention to details like a turned handle with two thin lines, slight angle to the sides, brass nail heads, and floating bottom panels. Excellent value. Highly recommend David's craftmanship.

    For Cherry Jewelry Box

    The craftsmanship is a work of art and everything I had hoped for in this one of a kind event. For me, the custom jewelry box was for my wife’s 60th birthday, so my expectations were very high with no latitude for delays. David did not disappoint in any way and his communication throughout the project was deeply appreciated.

    I would highly recommend the amazing talent and professionalism he provides.
