A customer came to us with a simple yet elegant idea. They wanted two finished table tops to set on top of their dog kennels, thus transforming the dog kennels into functional night stands. These kennel toppers were made of stained and satin finished oak plywood, and they did the trick perfectly. They not only added functional space, they also helped to enhance the aesthetic quality of the room.

A customer came to us requesting that we make a replica of a commemorative communion altar as a gift for one of her children. We replicated it to the best of our abilities with solid walnut and personalized it by engraving the name and date of the recipient’s first communion. We were also able to find a crucifix that would fit the cross at The Mustard Seed in Iowa City. The end result was almost identical to the original and the customer was thrilled with it.

A customer came to us whose friend was an avid outdoorsman and his favorite oak tree was blown down during the Derecho. While she helped him clean up she snuck a log to have something special made from it. She asked if we would help and we were only too happy to oblige. We had the lumber kiln dried by our wood supplier Paul Koffron. We then cut the log laterally into coasters, finished them and engraved native Iowa wildlife onto each coaster with the date of the Derecho on the back.

We hope that we have helped bring some joy from the devastation of the Derecho, and we hope this avid outdoorsman enjoys some very rustic coasters. If you have any ideas for custom wood projects, DM us on Instagram, Facebook, email us at krafkakraft@gmail.com, or give us a call at (319)330-3373
