Kenton Jeske Woodworker

Kenton is thorough but efficient and possesses all the necessary components of a professional craftsman. He invited me to participate in the design process for a mirror and hall table, explained the various steps and checked in with me at appropriate junctions during this process. The end product was of superior quality, was delivered in a timely fashion, and exceeded expectations. I would highly recommend Kenton's work.

I just wanted to drop you a note to thank you and express my gratitude for the opportunity to work with you in creating my one-of-a-kind dining room table...I only had a general idea of what I wanted...I described to you things that I liked, things that I wanted for the table, how it would function, color, shape, etc. You actually heard what I was trying to put into words and put that description into a drawing...You came to my home so that you see the space I had for the dining table, so you could better understand proportion, scale, location, fit, and function. You had me come to your shop to measure – height wise – what height of table would fit/suit me best. You also suggested minor details that truly added to the elegant nature of the table...The end result is a truly stunning table...Thank you so very much again for your patience, understanding, artistic eye, and professional nature. You are an artist and I have been fortunate to have benefitted from your skill and craft.

Kenton is a very uniquely gifted woodworker staying true to this old world craft. He beautifully melds his own modern understanding of style with his knowledge of woodworking and how to best bring out the natural beauty of his chosen woods on each project. We were very pleased with his suggestions on our project and how it turned out. We highly recommend him to others and look forward to continued work on future projects together.

Kenton was fantastic to work with. He kept me involved in the design process, which I wanted. He also kept me in the loop. Of course, being custom, it took a while to get, so it was nice to know where he was at in the process.The furniture, a dining table and a games table, is incredibly gorgeous! I couldn’t be happier with his work!!

We are overjoyed with the piece we commissioned from Kenton and have been pleased to find out that the step stool design has now joined his furniture catalogue! The entire process was very organic. According to our experience, Kenton has a knack for understanding exactly what is needed and wanted and was able to match milk paint colours and wood types to our existing decor. A very fine woodworker and a pleasant aesthete!

Working with Kenton on my dining room table was a wonderful experience. This was my first time commissioning a piece of furniture and he made sure the process was well communicated and tailored it to the degree of involvement that I wanted. I had a lot of general ideas but was lacking a true direction and Kenton was incredibly patient and managed to take all my ramblings and screenshots and turn it into just what I was looking for. The design fits the room beautifully and his workmanship is exceptional.Kenton is extremely skilled as a woodworker and craftsman and is a genuinely kind person as well. I would highly recommend collaborating with him on a project if you get the chance.

I am the proud owner of a custom desk - designed and crafted by Kenton. It is my favorite possession, and I consider it art" as much as furniture. Although I was originally a bit tentative about considering custom furniture

Anyone who has have seen Kenton at work will invariably draw comparisons to Jiro Dreams of Sushi. In a word, Kenton’s work is sublime. His remarkable attention to detail and craftsmanship is undeniable. But you’d be mistaken to assume him to be a rigid uncompromising auteur. The experience of co-designing a piece with him was nothing short of fully collaborative and open.You can do no wrong by having Kenton craft you a timeless piece to pass down for generations.

Kenton worked on three pieces of furniture for me. Namely, a plant stand, a dining table and a display shelf. The plant stand and display shelf were companion pieces in that they were matched in their style and color, and the table was sized to my limited space with my preferred look in cherry wood. Kenton is exceptional at customizing fine furniture to the client's needs and interests. I highly recommend Kenton for your custom furniture needs.

Kenton made a custom mantle for our living room - it is perfect! His service and approach were professional, responsive and personable and we highly recommend. Thanks, Kenton, for adding the finishing touch to our space.
