This was such a fun project to work on.

Years ago, I built and delivered this 8’6” American chestnut table on our King trestle base. As the family grew and their home changed, they recently came back to me with an idea for giving their table a new life.

We shortened the original table to 6’6” and used a portion of the American chestnut that was removed to create a second, smaller table. We also gave the original table a fresh new look by replacing the King trestle with our Tristan trestle.

For the new side table, we went with a four-legged base painted black to tie in beautifully with their black chairs.

What I loved most about this project was being able to turn one table into two while preserving a piece that already held years of family memories.

Now both pieces can continue to be part of their home for many more years to come.

Another happy customer, and that’s what really matters.

Some would say this is just a simple desk—and maybe it is—but every detail was designed specifically for the customer who will be using it.

This desk features a 1.125” thick x 30” wide x 48” long American chestnut top, paired with 2.75” solid American chestnut Shaker legs. Because this piece was made for a very tall customer, I reduced the width of the aprons to provide plenty of clearance between the top of their legs and the bottom of the desk.

I always strive to create pieces that are not only beautiful, but functional and comfortable enough to be enjoyed every day. Sometimes the smallest design details make the biggest difference.

This stunning American chestnut table was just delivered!

Measuring 1.5” thick × 42” wide × 108” long, the customer wanted the substantial 1.5” thickness we offer but opted for clean, straight edges instead of the live edge.

They also wanted four benches, so I started by making two full 9-foot benches—one for each side of the table—and then cut each one in half. This allows the natural grain to line back up when the benches are placed next to each other, giving the appearance of one continuous piece.

The entire set sits on our X-base trestles and is handcrafted from our 300+ year-old reclaimed American chestnut.

Another happy customer with a one-of-a-kind table ready for many years of family, friends, and great memories around it!

I’ve been busy in the shop making a batch of Shaker trestles for a couple of different projects. I always figure, if you’re making one, you might as well make a few!

This particular project will feature a 1.5” thick x 36” wide x 64” long American chestnut tabletop paired with a classic Shaker trestle base.

The customer also wanted a custom 60” bench designed to tuck perfectly underneath the table when it’s not in use. A great way to maximize space while keeping everything clean and functional.

Can’t wait to see this one come together!

Every board has a story.

A few months ago, a customer walked into the shop during a renovation of their home with a special request. Rather than throw away the original pine flooring, they wanted to preserve a piece of their home’s history and turn it into something their family could enjoy every day.

They brought me 3–4 of the old floorboards, and I transformed them into this one-of-a-kind coffee table measuring 21.5” wide, 37” long, and 17” tall.

These are the projects I love most. Taking wood that has already witnessed decades of family memories and giving it a new purpose is incredibly rewarding. Now, instead of ending up in a dumpster, those same boards will continue to be part of the home and the memories still to come.

We just delivered this beautiful 70” round American chestnut table, paired with our handcrafted C pedestal, also made from authentic American chestnut. The base was finished in a custom white paint, perfectly complementing our cream dining chairs. To complete the set, we added a 34” American chestnut Lazy Susan, bringing both beauty and functionality to the table.

This table will be the gathering place for family dinners, holiday celebrations, game nights, and countless everyday moments. The memories that will be created around this table are what it’s all about, and we are honored to have been a small part of creating a place where those moments can be shared.

This week’s episode of “How Much Sawdust Can One Human Create?” features a custom American chestnut four-legged table base headed out for a 9’6” tabletop.

The customer wanted something simple, clean, and chunky… so we went with 3.5” square legs and 3” aprons, but skipped the traditional bead detail for a smoother look. The walnut pegs were also sanded flush instead of leaving them proud, which gives the base a cleaner and more modern feel while still keeping all the old-school joinery hidden underneath.

And because nothing around here can ever just be “standard,” this base was custom-sized so the tabletop will overhang exactly 2” on the ends and 1.5” on the sides.

Little details like this are what make custom furniture fun. Every customer has a different vision, and somehow a pile of reclaimed barn beams slowly turns into a future family heirloom.

It’s kind of funny when you think about it…

This 34” round lazy Susan is going on top of one of our 70” round American chestnut tables and is built from 300+ year old reclaimed barn wood. Wood that already lived an entire life before ever making it into our shop.

At 1.125” thick this thing has some serious weight to it, and one detail most people will never see is I actually inlay metal into the underside to help keep it from ever wanting to curl over time. Hidden strength matters when you’re building pieces meant to last for generations.

What makes me laugh is this wood survived centuries of New England weather, old barns, and changing generations… only to now spend the next chapter of its life spinning around meatballs, mashed potatoes and somebody yelling “pass the butter.”

That’s the part I love most about what I do. These pieces become part of family memories. Holidays, birthdays, loud dinners, late night talks and everything in between.

Not bad for a 300 year old barn beam.

We are closed today as we celebrate my son’s 11th birthday.

One of the projects I’m currently working on involves a customer who asked if I could transform her existing 8’ table into two separate tables — a 4’ table and a 3’ table. The goal is to reuse as much of the original base material as possible to create two new custom bases, which will then be finished in a custom black paint.

05/01/2026

This was a truly custom piece from start to finish. The customer came into the shop with a unique challenge, and I was fortunate to be part of the solution.

In their finished basement, there was a section with a lower ceiling that had become a hazard for the taller members of the family. To address that, I built a one-of-a-kind 52” x 59” New England white pine table, designed at a 36” height to work perfectly within the space. The base was color-matched to their existing white trim, allowing it to blend seamlessly into the room.

Projects like this are always rewarding. Seeing the customer’s reaction when it all came together made the entire process that much more worthwhile.
