Design, Build & Finish

Who we are

Chaser & Burk is a custom cabinet and millwork shop based in Knoxville, TN. We design, build, and finish cabinetry and millwork for custom home builders, interior designers, architects, and homeowners who care about quality and craftsmanship.

What started as a custom furniture shop over 10 years ago has grown into a full-service cabinetry and millwork operation — but the approach has never changed. We use quality materials, build with precision, and finish everything in-house. When you work with us, you're working directly with the people who are designing and building your project.

Meet Jacob Burkhalter, founder

I stumbled into woodworking over 10 years ago. My wife wanted something we couldn't afford, so I borrowed some tools, found some old wood, and tried to build it myself. I immediately fell in love with the process.

I became obsessed — learned everything I could about woodworking and fine furniture. I went to work as an apprentice at a custom furniture shop, the second employee hired, and by the time I left I was managing 15 team members.

My wife and I moved to Knoxville and I started Chaser & Burk in 2016. After years of building heirloom furniture, customers started coming to us wanting cabinetry with that same level of craftsmanship. So we made the jump — and it's been one of the most rewarding decisions we've made.

Today, we design and build custom cabinetry, millwork, and finishing for builders, designers, and homeowners in Knoxville and the surrounding areas.

"Chaser & Burk has been great to work with for both our custom cabinetry and furniture! They make the creative process fun and easy and provide full service renderings so you can see your ideas come to life. They have been flexible to work around our other contractors and needs during the renovation process and have excellent attention to detail when it comes to install and overall finished product. I get compliments on all of my custom pieces constantly and have recommended them to many friends and family members. There is no one like them in Knoxville!"
