Ken Koonce has been a valuable resource for our customers for over 18 years now. > Ken's uncanny ability to create a customer's vision is extraordinary, i have not seen anything like it. > he has the construction talent, along with the artistic flare to make this possible. > Ken has worked with our customers on numerous projects and has delighted them, as well as projects for my family. My wife is looking forward to her new built in TV furniture being installed this month, i can send pictures if you let me know where and how to do so. Thank You Ken, JHH **★★★★★ — rjchavez, Feb. 2015** > Ken is a craftsman. > True to the definition of the word. > > \[krafts-muh n, krahfts-\] > 1\. a person who practices or is highly skilled in a craft; artisan. > 2\. an artist. > > > After describing to him my idea for a gift to my girlfriend, he comes back a few days later with a beautiful CAD drawing of the piece nearly exactly as it existed in my head. > We spent some time working through the details of the piece and before I knew it, he was already sending my pictures of the progress! > Although I couldn't afford the finest or most expensive pieces of wood for him to make this cabinet, he still took the time to make it LOOK like it was made from the finest pieces of wood. A skill I say few people possess. > > In the end I was more than impressed by the work. Fine lines, attention to detail, and a piece of furniture I know I will have from the rest of my life. > > He was even gracious enough to install it when it was complete. **★★★★★ — huskyx2, April 2014** > Ken created three one of a kind pieces for our family on short notice as we were moving out of state. In less than three or so months, he created a new bedside table to match our existing bedroom suite as well as a dresser and nightstand for our daughter's bedroom to match her existing bed frame. > > We really liked that he took our desires into account but also gave his feedback and expertise in designing furniture. Since we moved out of state before the pieces were finished, he took the care the secure a reputable moving transport company to deliver the new pieces to our home. In addition to the pieces arriving in excellent condition, he had also created a specialized sign for our daughter to hang in her room. This sign is very special to all of us as it reminds us of where we lived and our daughter's love of horses. It also fits in perfectly the decor of her room. > > His specialty is getting to know the customer for whom he is designing, creating quality pieces, and delivering in a timely fashion. He puts his heart into his work. **★★★★★ — Lawrence Schumacher, Nov. 2013** > I hired Ken to create a small triangle end table that would fit between a sofa and a recliner in our family room. I learned that it was nom easy task. Ken made it and it works extremely well. He added an electric outlet in the rear. We are very happy with this unique table. **Comment from The Work Shop of Ken Koonce:** > Larry is a wonderful client to do work for, he knows what he wants, but allows me freedom of design. His triangle table was a joy to design and build, giving me some challenges to work with. I look forward to working with Larry in the future on his next projects. ## Selected projects - [Steampunk Office](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/steampunk-office-pj-vj~865170) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 1 - Description: Steampunk and Vintage Industrial designs. - [Folk Art Show](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/folk-art-show-pj-vj~339345) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 1 - [Furniture](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/furniture-pj-vj~629425) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 6 - [Furniture Accessories](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/furniture-accessories-pj-vj~619569) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 5 - [Master bathroom remodel](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/master-bathroom-remodel-pj-vj~2650891) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 4 - [Folk Art](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/folk-art-pj-vj~896039) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 1 - [Signage](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/signage-pj-vj~896023) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 6 [See all 7 projects](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/furniture-and-accessories/the-work-shop-of-ken-koonce-pfvwus-pf~151637815) ## Ideabooks - [stone fireplace](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/70383710/list/stone-fireplace) — 1 idea - [bath room ideas](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/53409482/list/bath-room-ideas) — 21 ideas - [wainscott](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/51166742/list/wainscott) — 12 ideas - [flagstone walkways](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/51134413/list/flagstone-walkways) — 15 ideas - [barns](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/47959678/list/barns) — 17 ideas - [Bar room](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/18245503/list/bar-room) — 12 ideas - [kitchen ideas](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/34454909/list/kitchen-ideas) — 3 ideas - [bar ideas](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/31969496/list/bar-ideas) — 2 ideas [See all 8 ideabooks](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/users/shaker77) --- *Source: Houzz professional profile.
