Behind every intricate piece at KNR Studio is the skilled hand and artistic vision of Kelly Heger. With a rich tapestry of life experiences, Kelly is not just our guiding light but the very heartbeat of our studio.
A proud disabled combat veteran, Kelly's journey in the world of wood crafting began more than three decades ago. Even as a youngster, he demonstrated an uncanny knack for construction and remodeling. By the tender age of 14, he wasn't just honing his craft but also making waves in the marketplace with his one-of-a-kind creations including jewelry boxes and Grandfather clocks.
Kelly's passion for woodworking is much more than just a job; it's a testament to his resilience, dedication, and unparalleled craftsmanship. Over the years, he seamlessly transitioned from broad construction projects to niche, customized wood crafting. His pieces, infused with a mix of tradition and innovation, quickly became sought-after treasures.
Now in his well-deserved semi-retirement phase, Kelly dedicates his time and expertise exclusively to KNR Studio. Every project he undertakes is a labor of love, crafted in limited quantities to ensure unmatched quality and attention to detail.
