Our website is under construction at the moment.

Our Kerf Wall shop is down! Not to worry though. We still sell Kerf Wall.

We will be back with an updated website by Thanksgiving 2024.

Check back soon.

Unexpected and delightful

The cubbies coming off of the post, though not part of the original plan, are simple, functional, and such an interesting part of this kitchen.

Warm Walnut

The light in Joel and Julia's sun filled kitchen really warmed up the veneer on their walnut kitchen. This is probably the most extreme example of walnut lightening due to sun exposure. Both our walnut and maple veneers will gain a honey undertone when exposed to the sun.

A colorful kitchen

Open cubbies at the back of a peninsula are a great place to display favorite objects and books. These are fun spots to add a splash of color too.

Record storage as room divider

We love this little unit that acts as a small room divider between living room and kitchen area. This design is a modern interpretation of their original mid-century planter boxes.

We design for humans like you

Here at Kerf, we know that when things are designed well, you can love them well. We want our product to function in a way that makes sense for how you live your life, so each project is designed and built to order. We work with you, one on one, to create a perfect solution to your needs, whether you are a homeowner, architect, contractor or a developer.

Our joinery is unique

We build a special kind of cabinet, a product that we have been refining since 1999.

We utilize unique system joinery to assemble our cabinets based on a combination of dado joints and through tenons. These tenons are often visible on the outside of finished faces of our work. It makes for extremely strong joints. We consider the detail to be quite beautiful, a visual demonstration of the craft that goes into our work.

Since every joint is exposed, every joint has to be perfect. For structural integrity, we stagger the joints in our designs. This gives our work its signature asymmetric look.

We always leave the edges exposed to admire the plywood core.

We use the best

We use only the highest quality plywood, made to our specification by Columbia Forest Products in Klamath Falls, Oregon.

Our plywood has an FSC certified birch core layed up with formaldehyde-free glue. It is finished with a veneer of Eastern Maple or American Walnut.

The plywood has a VOC-free factory-applied, UV cured finish. Edges are finished with Osmo Polyx-oil, a benzene-free oil and wax finish that is both durable and repairable.

We use top of the line Blum hardware in all of our doors and drawers. All Blum hardware has a smooth soft close action that has come to be synonymous with high-end cabinetry. Blum hardware is backed up with a lifetime guarantee.
