Maple Extension Table
Hard Maple with Black Walnut and Ebony inlay. Table was designed for clients who wanted a new dining table with maximum seating for their space and in a style and wood tone that worked with their Danish Modern chairs and other pieces. This led to a minimalist table (other than the corner inlays) with Scandinavian lines and a very slight table top overhang to allow for the most seating possible. Designed for two 18" wide leaves. The photo with centerpiece and chairs is with a single leaf in place. The other photo is with both in place. Comfortably seats 10 with both leaves in place, 12 in a pinch.

Meet the Maker
Joseph Murphy
Joseph Murphy Furniture Maker
I am an award-winning designer and maker of fine wood furniture. My furniture -- meticulously made by hand -- is inspired by my love of design that features clean lines and harmonious forms. For me, this means Shaker, Scandinavian, and mid-century modern furniture as well as traditional Japanese architecture. While informed by tradition, I do like to incorporate a novel twist on things, whenever possible.
I work primarily with domestic hardwoods such as walnut, cherry, and maple. I use imported exotic woods such as ebony and paduak for details and accents. When making custom furniture, I enjoy the collaborative process that comes from working closely with my clients to refine and improve the design at hand.

Apr 25, 2015We are extremely happy with our new Treehouse Table. The project went very smoothly, and we enjoyed working with Joseph. Preliminary discussion of the materials and the expected time frame was easily completed without confusion. Communication during the process was excellent. Packed well and arriving a few days following completion, the stunning final product is a perfect size with beautiful lines. We would love to work with Joseph on a future project.
