The KDA Promise
I work with the best materials available so each piece will last a lifetime. I never compromise quality or cut corners for the sake of expediency. I welcome your input throughout the build process. My goal is always to meet or exceed expectations, and commissions are only paid in full when the finished work is to your complete satisfaction.

Testimonials
“I’ve now purchased 2 custom tables from Kris and I couldn’t have been happier with the entire experience. He’s a good communicator, does excellent quality work and delivered the tables right on schedule. I would highly recommend him as a person and craftsman.”
“People have been complimenting my table nonstop since Kris delivered it a year ago. He does quality work. The finish still looks like it did when we first got it.”
“Working with Kris has been great! He was honest and patient with all of our questions regarding installation. He kept us in the loop during the whole building process and even sent us progress photos.”
About Me
MY NAME IS kris
At my core I’m a builder. I’m always finding new sources of inspiration that drive me to create.
I am originally from Seattle and moved to Durham with my wife and baby to start a career in art education. I have a BFA in Fine Art as well as a Masters in Art Education. During graduate school, I continued to pursue my creative interests with metal and fine woodworking classes. I also found myself renovating homes and building custom tables for clients in my spare time. It soon became clear that I have a passion for building unique custom pieces that highlight the raw beauty of wood and steel. I love the creative process that goes into bringing each vision to life, and I’m always looking for new inspiration.
