Woodworking craftsmanship at its very BEST!My wife & I purchased a solid walnut dining table many years ago and loved it so much we planned, but never got around to, finding living room furniture to match. I was introduced to Kent via a friend in the interior design business who told me he could build me ANYTHING I wanted. And he DID! With some discussions on my interest, Kent did some sketches, some minor tweaks and I commissioned him to make 6 pieces of solid walnut furniture in a “monastic” style.The end result simply blew me away. His craftsmanship is simply amazing. Several of the pieces were made with slightly canted legs. His fit and finish was phenomenal. Every joint, every mortise fit perfectly: tight, solid, virtually no gaps. The table tops are perfectly fitted on-edge. And the finished surfaces are, well, perfect! And after carefully selecting the wood, he arranged pieces with some special care, with particularly stunning grain patterns in the center, of for instance, the coffee table.Simply put, I could not be more pleased with the quality and craftsmanship of Kent’s work. And I could not recommend him highly enough for any custom woodworking.Gene Stangel
Kent Odell produces exquisite furniture. His designs are intelligent, beautiful and demonstrate the finest of craftsmanship. This is furniture that is of heirloom quality, it is fine art. In addition to the high quality of his product, he is a pleasure to work with, both during the collaborative design process, and throughout the production process. I have a number of Odell designs in my home, from small pieces (a hand-carved mirror frame) to large free-standing pieces ( a Green and Green inspired sideboard) that are a pleasure to look at and to touch. I highly recommend Mr. Odell.
