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 Dining Table Of Distressed White Oak5.0Fred made us a beautiful kitchen table. The table is stunning. He even included us in the process of picking the wood which was a great experience. He provided different sketches to visualize our descriptions and he communicated and followed up throughout the process to ensure the table, base and legs were what we wanted. His knowledge and expertise are evident in his work. If you are looking for something beautifully made, you should reach out to him immediately. After this experience, I can say with certainty that I will not be shopping at big box stores for pieces that I want to last forever and provide character in our home.
