What can we say? White oak is pretty cool 😎.

Today, we delivered this live edge dining table to a customer just over a mile away from our woodshop.

The customer suggested white wishbone legs, which we think turned out great.

What do you think? Tell us in the comments below.

PS. We can offer these table legs in just about any color of your choice.

Unwrapping is always fun. This black walnut slab is massive and will soon become a live edge dining table for a customer in Amagansett.

When we don’t have the right locally sourced slab for the job, we turn to one of our trusted suppliers to make it happen.

Black walnut is a true classic and we are excited to be working on this project soon!

And now for something different…claro walnut.

Claro walnut is native to sunny 🌞 California and is known for its striking grain and rich chocolate 🍫 color.

We don’t usually have this material in stock but a customer here on Long Island asked for it so we’re diving in! This will be a live edge dining table.

The slab will probably need a bunch of bow ties.

We will be sure to post updates as we go!

Wood from sea to shining sea 🌊 🇺🇸.

At thirty feet long and five feet wide, this is the largest table we’ve ever built. It was commissioned by the US Army for the Cadet Command Conference room at Fort Knox — a room that will host senior military leaders, senators, and other dignitaries.

The table features five 28” x 24” bases, each with access panels, wire chases, and state-of-the-art power hubs. Everything needed to run seamless, high-level meetings — without a cable in sight.

And it had to be beautiful.

We built it from mahogany with a dark mahogany stain. Every board was hand-selected — we visited two of our favorite lumber suppliers and spent hours combing through their stacks looking for the right pieces. We were specifically after “ribbon figure,” a rare chatoyant grain pattern that catches the light in ways plain-sawn boards simply don’t.

Delivering it was another matter entirely. Until now, our work has stayed close to home — Greater New York, with one memorable exception: a dining table delivered deep into central Massachusetts, past moose crossing signs and through mountain roads we hadn’t expected. Kentucky was a different proposition.

Over 800 miles. A massive table. A new location. And the quiet weight of knowing this piece would host meetings at the highest levels of military and civilian leadership. It was all a bit intimidating. We hit heavy rainstorms near the highest point east of the Mississippi in western Pennsylvania. We pushed through. We set up. We exceeded expectations.

Fort Knox is famous for its gold reserves. Now it holds a piece of the Gold Coast.

We’ve never built anything like this before.

Thirty feet long. Five feet wide. Mahogany, hand-selected board by board. Built for the US Army’s Cadet Command Conference room at Fort Knox, Kentucky 🫡 🇺🇸 .

We drove 800 miles to deliver it. We hit rainstorms in the Appalachians. We pushed through.

Fort Knox is famous for its gold reserves. Now it holds a piece of the Gold Coast. 🪵

Have a “woodyful” day!!

Maybe the reason live edge dining tables continue to trend is simpler than we think.

Look around at the places we spend time in — offices, apartments, lobbies, stores.

Smooth. Uniform. Plastic. Predictable.
Live edge is the antidote to all of this.

It’s got aura. It connects your home to the natural world.

Every slab is the product of a tree growing in a specific time and place, and no two are ever the same. You can read it like a book — especially if it’s bookmatched. (Sorry, can’t resist a dad joke.)

So yeah, live edge is trending again in NYC and Long Island and we are not even a little bit surprised.
