I would be happy to quote any of the furniture shown on the site, or any piece you would like to have produced. I can work from a photo, sketch or just an idea that you may have. Pricing of custom work is determined by the cost of materials and time to complete the project. Shipping costs will be determined based on distance from Rochester, NY, cost of the piece, etc.

I am located in Mendon, NY just outside of Rochester. Please call for an appointment if you are in the vicinity. You may phone me at 585-582-2885 from 8:00AM to 9:00PM Eastern Time.

I started building furniture more years ago than I like to remember. It started as a hobby, but recently we decided to have a go at starting a business - Ken Turner Hand-Crafted Furniture. I’ve been fortunate to study at some of the finest woodworking schools in the US. I first studied with John Dodd at Rochester Institute of Technology's prestigious School for American Craftsmen. John builds outstanding contemporary furniture. I learned a lot from John, but I always had it in my mind to build reproduction furniture. I then studied at the Olde Mill Cabinet Shoppe in York, PA. At Olde Mill I have learned to build authentic reproduction of 18th century masterpieces. I'm self-taught at building Windsor chairs. I really enjoy building them because these chairs require a lot less time to build than the Chippendale type chair. Yet the Windsor chairs are challenging because they require different types of skills such as turning, steam bending and seat carving. My work has been seen in Fine Woodworking and Early American Life Magazines. I’ve also been chosen by Early American Life Magazine as one of their Top 200 Traditional Craftsmen for 2003, 2004, and 2005.
