It accentuates, complements, and completes the mission style set of furniture that the owner previously possessed.This bed has become a keystone to a set that will likely be passed down for generations to come, and we are only too happy to have played a role in making that possible.

This bed frame would likely sell for around $1,500 – $2,000

These tables were designed and created by Krafka Kraft to match the rustic allure of Rapid Creek Cidery, for whom the tables were made. Each table is made of refurbished white oak and fir barn wood. The bases are a sturdy mortise and tenon design to increase stability and tie in the rustic theme of the restaurant.

The long tables would sell for around $1,000 – $1,300 depending on size, wood type, and stain. The smaller tables would sell for around $300 – $400 depending on size, wood type, and stain.

A brand isn’t truly a brand until you are personally willing to chisel it out of steel, engulf it in flame, and burn it into your work. A brand is not a brand until you are willing to pour your heart, soul, and livelihood into it. That’s what “making a brand” means to Jeanette and I, and that’s what went into designing our new logo and forging this new branding iron. We are proud to mark our products with it and to continue our personal tradition of excellence.

These walnut charcuterie boards were made personally and hand phyrographed for a client looking for customized gifts for family members. These boards were a delight to make and are a rather inexpensive way to shop and gift locally. They are perfect for presenting gourmet meats and cheeses the next time you host a gathering and run a reasonable $30 a piece.

This medicine cabinet is a bespoke work of art. The customers had a built in medicine cabinet that came with their mid-century home, and they wanted it replaced with something more sleek and modern to match their new vanity. Pre-made medicine cabinets that would fit within the allotted dimensions of their previous cabinet proved hard to come by, so they came to Krafka Kraft and we helped them design and create a cabinet that would work best for their space. We decided on a large mirror to help create the illusion of a larger space and framed it with classic gray stained white oak to tie together the vanity and the mirror. The cabinet and shelves are made of white oak and the shelves are stained a classic gray to match the mirror and the vanity. This mirror completes the quaint yet modern style of their bathroom.

This exquisite drop-top walnut table was designed for a customer who recently bought a small apartment, but hoped to be able to occasionally host gatherings. To do so the customer needed a small table for day to day use that could convert into a large table when such occasions arose. The caveat was making such a table that didn’t involve storing large wood leaves. The drop-top was the perfect concept. This table was custom made to comfortably fit the dimensions of the apartment in both the folded and extended positions.

This exceptional piece of artwork was created with locally sourced walnut from the customer’s family farm and naturally finished with satin polyurethane.

How The Table Works

•  Both ends fold on hinges.
• Two end legs slide out to support the extensions when they are folded out.
• The end legs slide in and the extensions fold down for use as a smaller table.

Almost immediately after making the walnut sofa table for this customer, her and her husband decided they wanted an end table in their living room replaced. They liked the design of their current end table, but wanted it made to better fit the dimensions of their sofa. They also wanted the end table made of more lasting material than the composite board their current table was made of.

We discussed design options with them, went over materials, stains, and came to the consensus that durable white oak stained a dark ebony would best suit their needs and the ambiance of their living room.

This piece features true through dovetail joints that not only lend to an incredibly durable joint, they add an artistic flair to an otherwise very sleek, contemporary design.

This piece is a perfect example of what custom means to Krafka Kraft. We know how easy it is to settle for furniture that meets your specifications, “close enough.” But when close isn’t enough, you can trust that Krafka Kraft will help you make lasting furniture that goes above and beyond your specifications.

While milling and planing wood for a project, occasionally a woodworker gets a pleasant surprise. Such was the case with this stunning sofa table top. Years ago a couple of walnuts fell between the trunk and a branch of a walnut tree. Over time the bark grew around the walnuts. Unaware of their existence, a fortuitous cut was made, revealing the transverse section of two walnuts within this beautiful slab of wood.

The bark that encased the walnuts was unstable and threatened to fall out, but in my opinion they radically enhanced the piece, so it became necessary to stabilize the section by filling it with epoxy. In doing so, we were able to preserve this ornately unique quality while maintaining stability and functionality.

Upon finishing one of the shelves, a crack became apparent, and though currently miniscule, over time and through the changing of seasons, without modification it would likely grow and split the board. The issue was remedied by placing two white oak butterflies along the crack, practically sealing it shut, and simultaneously adding a fashionable flare to the piece.

This steel framed walnut sofa table was bespoke to fit the dimensions of the sofa and to incorporate natural beauty while preserving the sleek allure of the living room arrangement.

This bespoke sales counter was hand crafted from white oak and plywood. It was made to accommodate the specific needs of the company and includes five shelves that vary in size to oblige the varying size of sales items, as well as a pull out shelf for easy access to a printer, fax machine and computer tower. Not only is this counter fully functional and compact, it is a gorgeous addition to the sales floor.
