Kris Reynolds: Reynolds Custom Woodworks

“We wanted a table in one of the hallways upstairs in the house, and we couldn't find one that would fit. So, I thought, I'll try to make one. And that was it for me. I was hooked, and it kind of came naturally. I was able to sort out design, I was able to come up with joinery, and I was hooked.

So, it started off kind of as a furniture-making operation. A lot of the items in our house. And, of course, then friends want stuff. And then I got asked to build a kitchen for a friend of mine in 2004, and I was like, I want to build cabinets. And then here we are today; we do about 35 to 40 a year.”

Welcome to a brand-new episode of the Woodpreneur Podcast. Today, your host Steve Larosiliere is joined by Kris Reynolds, owner of Reynolds Custom Woodworks. Kris started by attempting to build a table for his family after they struggled to locate one that would fit in one of their home's corridors. And it was because of that event that Kris found his calling. He got hooked, designing and building things came naturally to him. Consequently, he finally created a furniture-making operation in their home, and after that, friends started asking him to do something for them, like building kitchens. And fast forward to today; they do 35 to 40 services annually.
