Hand Forged Custom Furniture

Kyle is trained as both a blacksmith and a furniture designer, so it might not surprise you that his favorite projects incorporate both his areas of interest. Here are a few pieces of custom furniture he designed and created over the last few months.

First up is a forged bench base with a cherry seat. Kyle designed this bench to fit comfortably in an entryway or foyer. The original has sold but we're happy to create a custom one similar or just like this for you.

Kyle designed and forged these custom table bases for local woodworker Mark Rickey. It’s always a fun project when we get to work with another talented maker.

Our latest custom coat racks

Time for another round-up of our most recent custom coat racks! You can see more examples in our past blog posts and in our portfolio.

The fun part about the coat racks included here is that each was inspired by the details, colors, or style of an existing coat rack. That makes each piece a truly satisfying collaboration between our style and the client's preferences.

Here's a series of work-in-progress shots.

Extra Large Dining Table

Last fall, we created a super-duper extra large custom dining table. This thing is seriously huge, and a great opportunity to show off some substantial forged table legs. We collaborated with our friend David Bohnhoff to create the top.

Here Kyle and his assistant Kallen (in the first photo) are forging the table legs using the power hammer and a jig with clamps on the table.

Forged steel table bases ready for their tops. The table is designed in two sections that can be arranged side by side or end to end. Check out the rivet detailing in the second photo!

And here's the mighty 12-seater custom dining table installed. The top is quarter-sawn oak with a gorgeous grain. It's in two sections that match the base. To keep the fit nice and snug when the bases are arranged side by side, Kyle forged a bracket to lay across each end, as well as shorter brackets to use when the tables are end to end. The brackets store in a space under the top of the table. You can see some of David's process photos as he created the top and carved the dados to fit the brackets on his Instagram account. (Click through to see them all!) The feet feature oak bases as well.
