Made around your home

Not pulled from a warehouse.

Your table should fit the way your family gathers. Whether you need a compact round pedestal table, a long trestle table, a traditional farmhouse design, or something inspired by a piece you have seen, the details begin with your space and preferences.

Choose the overall size, wood species, base or leg style, stain or painted finish, and coordinating benches or chairs. Other custom projects—including built-ins, cabinetry, and shelving—are welcome too.

What I build

Tables are the specialty. Custom work is the craft.

Most projects begin at the dining table, but the same thoughtful approach carries into furniture and built-in work throughout the home.

Dining Tables

Custom round and rectangular tables in pedestal, trestle, farmhouse, and other styles.

Seating

Matching benches, chairs, and seating details designed around the table and your needs.

Built-ins & Cabinetry

Storage and architectural woodworking tailored to a particular room and purpose.

Other Custom Projects

Shelving, buffets, furniture, and one-of-a-kind woodworking worth discussing.
