Favorite Projects
of 2019
The year was full of many projects. We find great joy in creating the custom furniture that you dream up. Here are a few of our favorite projects of 2019. Each one is unique, just like each of you.
Olive Tree Trunk Pub Table
This table right here….it’s a show stopper! In the planning stages of the custom project project, the customer stated that they want this piece to be a statement, something different from the rest of the furniture in their home. John showed them the olive tree trunk as an option. This became the natural choice. You see, they fell in love with the ancient olive trees that they saw on their recent trip to Israel.
When it was time to design the table, John knew that the table top had to be simple. The tree trunk had to speak for itself. Glass was the best solution and the table top supports were kept very minimal.
Heritage Walnut
Live Edge Dining Table
This dining table project was fun. The walnut slabs used to create the book match table have a family connection for the customer. They saved the wood from a tree that was cut down on their grandparent’s property. John worked with them to design a table base that best fit their modern style.
Let’s take this moment to talk about something. We are constantly asked if we can use some wood that has been stored in a barn for 50 years or a tree that was just cut down. There is a process that wood has to go through to make it suitable for furniture. It must be air dried for a period of time and then dried in a kiln. This process can take up to a year, year and a half. Even if wood has been air dried for 50 years, it still needs to be kiln dried to make sure the moisture content is right on the interior of the wood.
Reclaimed Oak Dining Table
While their new home was being built, the homeowner new they had to have a large statement dining table to fill this dining space. They fell in love with a dining table that was on display in the studio but needed to have it customized. This is what John came up with for them, altering the original design to accommodate the 9 foot by 6 foot table top. Wow. This is, definitely, one of the largest dining tables that we have created.
Custom Walnut
Dresser
This was a challenging, yet fun project for John. This dresser project all started when the customer provided inspiration photos. They could not find this style of dresser with the type of wood they wanted so they contacted us. I love the combination of the steel base with rich walnut wood tone and the modern, clean lines.
This piece was shipped off to California, along with a bed frame with drawers for much needed storage. You heard that right, it went to California. We work with a local company that provides home delivery all across the US. Keep that in mind if you have are in need of custom furniture. Getting the furniture to your home is no problem.
Thank you for supporting us. I’m looking forward to the projects that 2020 will bring our way.
Cheers,
