Sapele Wood Bar Stools
Here are a couple versions of the same stool. The black ones are dyed sapele with real leather upholstery and polished steel back supports. They were finished with a 2k automotive finish that was wet sanded and buffed to a mirror like sheen. The stools have limited turn seats that swing back to a fixed position when you get out of it. I made a set of 10 for a luxury yacht. The other ones are the exact same wood and design just left natural with a conversion varnish finish. These stools were made with a solid wood spinning seat. These stools or any other design can be fabricated in my shop fairly quickly. Sapele is an African mahogany with a beautiful color and grain. It is a pretty good choice for any solid furniture because of its low cost and large sizes available.

For Oval Dining Room Table With Turned Base Pedestal Banquette4.8I'm so glad I splurged on my dining room table! I wanted something that wasn't too big or too small, that would be good for dining and for playing card/board games, and that was unique with a modern yet natural look. Kirk created exactly what I wanted. He was great to work with. His craftsmanship is superb. He gave me lots of options and responded to my questions and comments in a timely manner. AND he kindly stored my finished table, no charge, until my house was finished being built (which was behind schedule). Shipping was a bit expensive and inconvenient, but absolutely no fault of Kirk's (and no more so than it would have been from any other seller). I'll include a picture as soon as I can...The table looks great and is a perfect addition to my new home! Thanks, Kirk : )

For Paint- Grade Fireplace Mantel Surround5.0We had Kirk build a paint grade fireplace surround & mantel. Final product turned out great. Kirk was extremely helpful throughout the process & provided lot of guidance on getting the design right. It seemed odd to me that I couldn't source a carpenter in the Dallas area & had to go to Tulsa OK to get this project completed, but I'm glad we did. I'd recommend Kirk to anyone looking for this type of service.

For Bow Front Or Flat Front Vanities4.7Kirk created a custom vanity for me and it turned out beautiful. I live in California and the distance was never an issue. Additionally, Kirk connected me with someone for the vanity top, which also turned out great. Kirk coordinated with the maker of the vanity top on the specs and arranged to ship the two pieces together, which saved me money. I had a great experience working with Kirk and I highly recommend him.

For Oval dining table with turned base4.7KirkKreations was a marvelous experience for me. Kirk was always responsive to my questions. As I told him, the measure of a treasure is the wonder it inspires -- and my table is beautiful. I wrote a poem about my experience, as a long distance customer and the confidence that Kirk Coryn inspired. I don't see a way to attach pictures or the poem. I would be glad to do so.
