Celeste's Hall Table

$2500.00

This Hall Table measures 5' long, 12" wide, and 31" tall. It is made out of black walnut and is finished with hand rubbed shellac. The top is made out of a single board that has quite a bit of character to it. (When we are dealing with a table top that is this narrow we usually will do a single board top.) The legs are five sided, which is a style that we have been working with for the last few pieces (Loura's Blanket Chest and Jill's Low Dining Table are other examples). The top has facets at the corners which echo the shape of the legs.

Loura's Blanket Chest

$5000.00

We built this blanket chest as a wedding gift for our sister Loura and her husband Chuck. The gentle curve of the coopered top softens the form while the tapered base gives it a solid, grounded feeling.


The body of the chest is constructed of Douglas Fir and finished with shellac, the interior bottom is Aromatic Cedar which we milled from a tree in our backyard.

Jill's Low Dining Table

$2000.00

This low dining table is built from black walnut and is finished with pure tung oil. Low dining tables are rare in America, which I think is a shame. Having used one for 3 years, I've found many benefits to dining low. First, a low table takes us less space as no chairs are needed. This lack of clutter is especially valued in apartment settings where space is limited.
