Good Wood Tables

11/02/2016

5 years and countless tables, time has come for us to move on. We were proud to be able to build family heirlooms for you home that you’ll be able to pass on to your grandchildren. We have pulled up stakes and moved west, to South Lake Tahoe, CA. Exploring the opportunities here of finding a new workshop and carrying on the tradition of handcrafted, heirloom furniture, built one piece at a time.

Stay in touch, old friends.

12 Foot Long Reclaimed Beech Conference Table

This table was a brute. The top was constructed from 120+ year old Reclaimed Beech, salvaged from a to***co barn in the south. The skirt and legs was made from hand hewn Maple taken from a building in the finger lakes region of New York. It took 6 adults to move it into place. This was constructed for a prior customer and nothing makes me more proud then being asked to do a 2nd project for someone.

We don’t carry our beer in wooden casks anymore but you don’t have to settle for a flimsy cardboard holder either. Good Wood Tables will go you one better, with a 125+ year-old Reclaimed Beech beer holder.

These holders are built with the same timeless craftsmanship as our tables. We finish them with NO-VOC oil for a wonderful rich glow.

These are each one of a kind and are currently made when we have time

A Square Reclaimed Heart Pine Table.

If you have a small space, or an odd shaped room where a Harvest Table just doesn't fit, then a square table might be the solution to your troubles.

The top and legs are Reclaimed Heart Pine which holds a reddish glow and is nicely contrasted by the white painted Hard Maple frame. This table is 52" square, with a 1 1/2" thick top, which gives the table a solid feel. The table seats four people comfortably and can seat eight for an intimate dinner party.

Good Wood Tables is not the first to make this statement: “We are in a heritage wave, a series of trends that aim to achieve a pre-digital-era affectation.” It’s a wonderful movement and a great time to be working with reclaimed materials. Deeply ingrained in this movement is the appreciation for quality construction, American made along with a unique set of skills to hone ones craft.

Remember, at Good Wood Tables, we do not use nails, screws nor bolts to put together our tables but the time-honored technique of a Mortis & Tenon joint. Yes, this joint takes time to make and fit together just right, but it’s one of the strongest joints in woodworking. Once we peg that Mortis & Tenon joint it will never loosen up nor come apart. Screws are great for Ikea type furniture, but not for an heirloom piece.

When you are out shopping for a reclaimed wood piece for your home, we suggest you take a deeper dive before you invest, look further than the top, and make sure you examine the underside of the table to see how it is constructed. You shouldn’t find metal corner brackets nor screws. Your grandparents wouldn’t have made it that way and you shouldn’t settle for it either.

Reclaimed Heart Pine kitchen island top. This one is "naked" in the photo, just waiting to receive several coats of our Low-VOC Finnish so it can stand up to the love and wear of everyday family use.

We try to stand out in the crowd. When we hand someone a “business card” made from 150+ year-old Reclaimed Heart Pine, it makes a statement.
