Customers say: Quality work

"Curtis Kuhn is a master craftsman. He converted my old family cedar chest into a beautiful heirloom piece for my family. The cedar chest was in really bad shape, and Curtis made it remarkably lovely and like new again. He takes great pride in his work, and his prices are reasonable. I recommend Kuhn Custom Woodworking to anyone who needs any kind of woodwork done."

"We had DJ’s Cabinets build custom built-in cabinets for our home, and we couldn’t be happier with the results. The quality of workmanship and attention to detail are outstanding—everything was beautifully crafted. Communication throughout the entire process was excellent, with clear updates and great follow-up. They really took the time to understand our needs and delivered a customized design that fits our space perfectly. The team was professional, reliable, and a pleasure to work with from start to finish. I would highly recommend DJ’s Cabinets to anyone looking for high-quality custom cabinetry."

"Mark met with me promptly, listening to my needs, looking at what I wanted to store, gave me an estimate and then sent a drawing later that week with formal quote. He was creative and flexible with the design. He also figured out how to deal with unfinished floor and pulling out 1950's built ins as well as access to under the house in another closet. He also gave me the option of having the inside of closets painted the same day as install. Once scheduled the team came in less than two weeks. They were efficient, professional, prepared and cleaned up. The work was done in 1/2 a day including painting walls. The system is clean, white, solid, with adjustable shelves and rods. We added a couple of drawers in two closets. Mark let me know that if we want to make any changes he is happy to provide an additional rod or shelf or pin with just an email. And he knows our needs change. There was follow up the next month too. Working with a local owner and his crew who have been in the business for awhile was great. If you need closet work done I recommend Closet storage systems and owner Mark."

Woodworking questions, answered by experts

Joists do distribute their load to beams, but they don’t sit on top of the beams. Instead, home builders nail or screw the joists directly to the beams such that the end of the joist butts up against the edge of the beam. Beams can sit on other beams for support, but you’ll never see a joist sitting on top of a beam or another joist.

Whether or not it’s easier to cut wood when it’s wet versus dry depends largely on the type of tool you use and the wood you’re cutting. For example, a chain saw should still be able to cut through wet wood with relative ease, but it may be more difficult to maneuver due to the wood fibers sticking to the chains of the saw. 

However, you might want to avoid cutting wood entirely when it’s wet if you’re pruning your tree. Sawing a wet tree that you don’t plan on removing can also encourage bacterial and fungal growth and decay.

Professionals ensure safe, thorough repairs using quality materials, extending the life of your structure.

Rustic and modern farmhouse styles are currently the most popular. These include rustic and antique furniture, muted colors, clean lines, eclectic decor, and natural materials. Some other popular farmhouse styles include the following:

  • Coastal farmhouse: Creates a lighter, airier feel with soft colors and blue palettes, along with gold

  • Colonial farmhouse: Focuses on real antique furniture and decor

  • French farmhouse: Leans on French country architecture and design by including marble and lighter-colored metals, like zinc

  • Industrial farmhouse: Includes thick, chunky furniture and dark metals

  • Scandinavian farmhouse: Usually includes lighter wood colors and more refined furniture

Yes, Corian® and other solid surface materials can be cut with standard woodworking tools, such as a circular saw or a jigsaw. However, it is crucial to use the correct type of blade to avoid damaging the material.

For a circular saw, a tungsten carbide-tipped blade is required; a triple chip grind blade is highly recommended. For a jigsaw, you should use a fine-tooth down-cutting blade. Do not use blades designed for cutting wood, as they can cause microfractures that weaken the edges of the countertop. A diamond blade is also unnecessary, as those are designed for harder materials like natural stone, which Corian is not.

After cutting, the edge will be rough. It is essential to sand and smooth the cut edge to prevent microfractures, which can eventually compromise the integrity of the countertop.
