A custom built-in cabinet is one example of Ken Salem's work: in a December 2017 Google review, a homeowner said he patiently worked through the process with them to create what they needed for their new home. Ken Salem Custom Furniture is based in Northampton, and its website describes selecting wood others reject and finishing its natural edge with what it calls an ambrosia resin. Google lists a 5-star average from three ratings, with written reviews spanning 2017–2023. A July 2017 reviewer praised the craftsmanship and artistry of his woodworking. In January 2023, another reviewer singled out Ken's kind, open and honest approach.
Ken is otherworldly. I mean it. This man is 1 in a million. His talent is unmatched…but it is his kind, open, and honest approach that makes it all come together. I’d travel hundreds of miles to work with him…thank goodness he’s nearby here in Northampton!
Ken created a fabulous custom built-in cabinet for our new home. He worked with us so patiently through the whole process to get us just what we needed. His values as a craftsman are a real inspiration. It's a constant source of good conversation in our house.
Extraordinary craftsmanship and artistry goes into Ken Salem's woodworking.
