Services
I started my business and my company for several reasons. First and foremost, I wanted to provide the elite custom service that every potential client deserves. I wanted to provide high quality products and services at an affordable price. I had worked for other companies all my life. I wanted to run a business a way I thought it should be run, while doing what I loved.
If you are inquiring about a wood slab, or dimensional lumber, please provide as much detail as possible about the material you are looking for. Additional useful information would be to specify with or without live edge, live edge on one side or two, and so on. We are looking to serve you as quickly and efficiently as possible while avoiding unnecessary back and forth emails.

I recently had the pleasure of purchasing a walnut slab for a project. Being a relative newcomer to woodworking, I couldn't be happier with the experience. Brian is knowledgeable and clearly passionate about his company and what he's doing. He has an extensive inventory that is properly prepared and stored. I look forward to a long and productive business relationship. I would highly recommend Brian and his company.

I found A& E Keenly through an associate. I was looking for unique slab wood to build a desk for my new home. We traveled to the warehouse in Palmerton (near Blue Mtn. Ski resort) and looked at a wide assortment of raw slabs. Their selection of hardwoods is quite large. We met Brian and he was very knowledgeable about wood and wood finishing. He understood our vision and helped us select the perfect pair of burled elm slabs. We promised we would take pics of the finished product. We enjoyed working with Brian very much and would highly recommend A&E for any specialty hardwood project.

Brian was extremely helpful and responsive as we searched for a slab for our dining table. He was never pushy but also provided his knowledge when requested. Our table turned out exactly as we had envisioned thanks in large part to his guidance and his huge inventory of options. He is our go-to person for all future live edge projects.

Very awesome experience! Brian was very knowledgeable and professional when showing us several different wood slab options. He gave us options in our price range and offered to cut and plane the slab we chose for a great price. Can’t wait to finish my project with it!

I reached out via their website after I searched for live edge slabs near me. Brian was quick to respond and answered a lot of questions with back & fourth emails. He invited us to his shop to look at slabs and the options were endless! He is extremely knowledgeable and doesn’t pressure at all. We picked our slab, he cut it for us and recommended another friend 10 mins away to do the sanding on it for us. We did that and are anxious to get the slab on the wall. We’ll definitely reach out to Brian again for our next project!

We could not be happier with our bar top, from the minute we met Brian and walked into the warehouse to select our slabs, we knew that A & E Keenly's was without a doubt the right choice. Brian is passionate about what he does and it shows! He gave us a timeline and he was spot on! His craftsmanship is perfection!!!

I am thrilled with the beautiful slab of kiln dried black walnut that I bought from Brian. He had a huge selection of slabs to choose from and was very knowledgeable about the characteristics and finishing of all of the different species he had available. Everything from record-sized black walnut slabs for conference tables to cedar, cherry and others. I chose to finish my own but he had all of the equipment to provide finished pieces of furniture or custom bars. I bought with the confidence of knowing the wood was dried and stored properly. Can't wait to hang these shelves.

Brian was really wonderful to work with. We wanted to make custom benches for our new kitchen, and we could not be more thrilled with the beautiful, natural cherry bench tops. Gorgeous. We liked the work and experience so much that we asked Brian for a couple of custom shelves to go over a 150+ year old dry sink - and again, the wood, the workmanship, and the experience working with Brian exceeded our hopes. We also really love that Brian is so committed to working with PA woods; his sustainability and ethical commitments were important to us, too.

The finished work from A&E Keenly's Handywork is nothing less than Amazing!
The project in mind was to build a walnut live edge desk for a new home office. From design, to slab selection, to the finished product, Brian was there every step of the way lending his expertise and providing suggestions. I had specific needs for cable management solutions and the ability to adjust the height of the desktop. Brian knocked both of them out of the park.
Brian was in constant contact providing project status, and what he was going to do next. He was always a phone call away, and left no stone unturned
