This gorgeous, walnut, extension, trestle table was custom built to accommodate large family gatherings. At its smallest it measures in at eight feet long and 42 inches wide. At full extension it’s eleven feet long, at which point the whole family can be seated comfortably around it. We hope this timeless, sleek, and elegant table sees many family gatherings for generations to come.

We were commissioned to make handrails for a garden bridge out of lumber our client had on hand. Not only have these handrails added to the safety of the bridge, they have added a beautiful, rustic, quaint aesthetic to the garden.

These raised, oak, barn wood planter boxes are the perfect addition to any garden. They are simplistic, visually appealing and because they are raised they do the back and knees a favor by reducing the need to bend over or kneel on the ground while gardening.  These planter boxes were made for an avid gardener who is sure to put every square inch to good use.

A client contacted us requesting a dog gate that would match their door frame. This is the outcome, a beautifully handcrafted, functional piece. This gate is held sturdily in place with custom made metal hinges and a custom made latch. It is made of white oak, stained golden oak, and satin finished.

A client came to us with an old family heirloom, a red mahogany table that had been in storage for quite some time. They asked if we might be able to restore the top before they moved out of town and we were only too happy to oblige. The table top was stripped,  re-joined, sanded down and refinished. The final product looked even better than we anticipated it would. It turned out looking as good as new. What a beautifully crafted piece of woodworking. We hope it remains a family heirloom for many years to come.

A client came to us requesting a table to replace their old table in their kitchen’s saloon style booth. The booth had a very western appeal, so we designed a table to match that style. The end result was this satin finished, horseshoe shaped, white oak trestle table. It turned out to be stunning and highly functional, something Krafka Kraft excels at.

This stunning walnut trestle table was custom built for this client to match the dimensions of the kitchen island we built them earlier this year. The kitchen island bench sits perfectly under the table to accommodate booth-style seating. The wood grain in this particular walnut was exquisite and has been utilized to maximize the aesthetic quality of this table. Another example of functional elegance at its finest.

This dog gate was custom made for a client who requested a gate that wasn’t permanent. This is what we came up with. This gate features a poplar frame, painted to match the railing, with a magnetic insert to keep the gate from swinging closed when it’s open, magnetic hinges to keep the gate closed, rot iron bars to match the railing, and a welded steel base. The gate looks as though it were built with the railing, just as we intended, but it can also easily be moved and stored if not in use or if it were to get in the way. 

This prayer kneeler was designed and built for a client who wanted to have a kneeler made to match the aesthetic of the house it was built for, so we grey stained white oak and decided to give them two different options for cross colors. The crosses are magnetic and can be changed out depending on the client’s preference. Everything was finished with a satin polyurethane and the outcome was simple and elegant.

We are ecstatic to announce that we are expecting the arrival of our newest member of Krafka Kraft in early November. We anticipate the welcoming and onboarding of our newest employee will take some time… at least a couple of months to get situated and into a semi-coherent business routine… As such we will be taking new orders up until August 31st. We will be taking November through January off to welcome and get our newest member of staff acclimated. Thank you all so much for your continued support and understanding. It means everything to us.  Wish us luck, we’ll need it. Teaching a newborn to use power tools is going to pose quite a challenge.
