Great service
This Maker has consistently demonstrated excellence in craftsmanship and customer service.
I love wood. I always have. Its grain, figuration, texture and color to me seem like abstract paintings. Wood is strong yet resilient. Solid wood is natural. I only use solid wood, never veneer or plywood.
I design and build beautiful tables, each one custom-designed to suit the particular needs and preferences of each client. Beautiful tables begin with beautiful wood. Fortunately, I have sources for high quality wood, every board of which I hand-select. Clients are welcome to come with me to help select the actual wood for their table.
My background includes 50 years of woodworking experience plus fine art and engineering which enable my designs to take into account both aesthetics and functionality. Thus, my tables are both attractive and comfortable in use.
Prices depend on the size of the table and the cost of the wood. Consultation and design are free -- there is no cost or obligation until the project actually begins. I ship or deliver from my workshop in Merion, PA near Philadelphia.

For Live Edge Black Walnut Table Trivet5.0Hello World,
My project request resulted in perfection. The end product was exactly what I desired and is working as intended. I searched for several weeks to find an off the shelf solution. Found customade, requested my project. Fredric Blum Design created my vision, communicated often and answered all of my questions. My trivets are wall art, but completely functional. I imagine his mainline products are fabulous to behold.

For Live Edge Maple Dining Table5.0We are beyond pleased with our beautiful English Elm live-edge table by Fred Blum! Fred's work truly sparks immense joy. We embarked on the custom table journey unsure of exactly what we wanted, but Fred guided us along the way, taught us so much about the process with patience and care. The final product blew us away, even though Fred had kept us posted on his progress, seeing the table in our space for the first time was truly awe-inspiring. We love the table, and our house now feels like a home with this statement piece built by Fred. I highly recommend using Fred for your next custom project.
