Welcome to the heart of innovation and tradition at Kenneth Michael Studios, where the timeless craft of woodworking isn't just preserved; it's reimagined. Nestled in the vibrant San Francisco Bay Area, our studio is a testament to the fusion of natural materials, artistic vision, and personal stories that are as enduring as the pieces we create.


The Journey from Raw to Refined

It began in the year 2000, with a single piece of wood, a set of tools, and a vision. What started as a hobby, driven by an insatiable curiosity for creating and a profound respect for natural materials, has blossomed into a lively passion! At Kenneth Michael Studios, we understand that every grain of wood holds a narrative, waiting to be shaped into functional art that stands the test of time.


Local Sourcing, Global Impact

We believe in the power of local sourcing, not just for its environmental benefits, but for the unique character it imparts to each piece. By collaborating with local arborists and wood suppliers, we ensure that every slab of wood has a clear provenance and a story that starts right here in the Bay Area. Our headquarters in the Santa Cruz mountains is directly in the middle of the Redwood forest. This approach not only supports our community but also allows us to handpick the most distinctive materials, ensuring that the wood's journey from nature to your home is thoughtful and sustainable.


Creating More Than Just Furniture

At the core of Kenneth Michael Studios is a passion for creating more than just furniture—we aim to craft future heirlooms. Our works are not mere objects; they are the physical embodiment of memories and milestones. From the warmth of a dining table gathering family together for generations to the quiet presence of a custom desk in a writer's sanctuary, our creations are participants in your life's moments.


Craftsmanship Meets Customization

We specialize in custom wood furniture and bespoke pieces that reflect your personal style and needs. Our process is a collaborative one, engaging you at every step to ensure that the final product is uniquely yours. Whether you're seeking a statement dining table, a hand-carved desk, or an elegant cutting board, we tailor each project to your specifications, marrying form and function with unparalleled craftsmanship.


Join Our Legacy of Craftsmanship

We invite you to explore our gallery, where each item stands as a hallmark of dedication and artistry. And when you're ready to bring a piece of this legacy into your home, we're here to translate your vision into a tangible reality that will grow more precious with time.

At Kenneth Michael Studios, we don't just make furniture; we forge legacies. Let us help you create a piece that will not only add beauty to your home but will also become a cornerstone of your family's history.
