Kemal Custom Woodwork

I worked for Kemal about 20 years ago. I would like say that he was my best mentor hands down in my 25 years of custom woodworking. He was building chairs of amazing craftsmanship that I am still amazed by.

I have worked with Kemal on many projects and would without reservation highly recommend his work. In fact one piece he produced for my client was perhaps the best piece I have ever had done in the 37 years I have been in the furniture design business. It was an étagère made of Lacewood with long Wenge legs extending from top to bottom in all in a clear finish. He included lighting in the canopy with a hidden touch light controller. He enhanced my design by suggesting we make framed shelves with beveled glass inserted, this may sound like a simple task however the étagère tapered toward the top so each shelf was slightly narrower as the shelving assented. I would say the end result was truly the most beautiful piece ever a true product of the artistic craftsmanship that Kemal possesses.
A tour of his work space will demonstrate his ability, the dome that is suspended in his space is a feat of engineering genius.
Kemal’s work is second to none and he has a fantastic attitude toward each project and you never hear «no it can’t be done» pass over his lips. He is also humble enough to listen to the clients ideas knowing I believe that the collaboration turns out a better product in the end.
I will continue to use his services as long as long is.

I hope that writing this review will inspire Kemal to put up a website, so you can get visual glimpses of what his work is all about.
Kemal is a true craftsman, and he’s a very nice person and easy to work with. Because he is creative, too, I think he really enjoys doing custom work. You could probably bring him pictures out of any Dwell-​like magazine or catalog from a high-​end furniture company and have Kemal make you that same thing for half the price.
His giant studio in the Bayview is literally like an architectural mill, and Kemal can do anything you can dream up. I’ve seen beautiful staircase banister work, handmade coffee tables, and handmade chairs lovingly cranked out of there. It makes me wish my house were bigger. I’m simply doing some very small molding jobs with Kemal.
Excellent craftsmanship, communication, and service. Kemal I hope you’re reading this and will put up your website!
