Hickory And Oak Mission Style Dining Table
Primary wood is hickory, trimmed in antique red oak from a barn in Indiana along with walnut corner blocks. The hickory and walnut both harvested in East Texas and dried and milled by me. Finish is polyurethane no stain. Can duplicate this table to any dimensions and wood type. I created this table for a customer to place at his hunting lodge. I later created some other furniture displayed on this sight. You take a look at my other stuff and you decide what pieces go with this table.

Great service
This Maker has consistently demonstrated excellence in craftsmanship and customer service.
Specializing in Arts and Crafts and Mission style furniture. I especially like to build from the harvesting of the tree. I only harvest trees downed from storm damage or being removed for construction purposes. I will have the log sawn and I will dry and mill the lumber myself. Native woods I like to work with most are Walnut, White and Red Oak, Cherry, Ash, Pecan, Hickory and Pine. I also have a source for west Texas Mesquite. I will build your furniture from the wood of your choosing be it domestic or exotic. Each peice is built by me and finished one at a time. Your furniture is the most important. I have been working with wood for over 30 years and continue to gain knowledge and refine my skills. I look forward to visiting with you and discussing your furniture design. My desire is to build you that special heirloom you have always wanted. From the Forest to your home.

For Mesquite Wood Box With Wooden Hinges.5.0We are very happy with the mesquite box that Rick made for us. It has a beautiful turquoise inlay, just as we requested and the mesquite grain shows beautifully. The work was completed as scheduled and Rick kept us in the loop at every step. We feel we have gotten a handcrafted work of art for a great price. You should check out Rick's work!

For Table5.0Rick Hensley
A Star is Born.
Rick was given a piece of white pine, which was at least 100 years old. He was asked to make a coffee table. The wood had been preserved in the rafters of a garage. It had Formica on one side and paint on the other. Rick is a great communicator. After a long discussion, it was decided that he would make a table with a floating top, and base made of fur. He directed me where to find many pictures to get ideas for what I wanted.
There were several e-mails and another in-person consultation. Rick is prompt answering e-mails. And, he wanted to create what I wanted.
In the finished product, he rounded the ends and routed the sides of the board.
Rick is friendly. He welcomes conversation and suggestions. Rick answers e-mails quickly. He is fully responsive to the customer.
The table is sculpture. It is art. Rick Hensley of “Rockytop Woodworks" is a rare discovery. He is a five star artisan.D.L.
