Chris Kemler Custom Woodworking

This week I delivered this banquet to accompany this dining table previously delivered. Works are solid walnut with an oil and lacquer finish. The banquet seats raise up for storage.
A special thanks to the clients and now friends for this special project. The design brief, after our initial consultation became George Nakashima meets Donald Judd, which may sound unusual, but the design process was quick and easy. The walnut upgrade was absolutely worth it. Tears of joy were shed upon delivery.
