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.

    Working with Fred, was an absolute pleasure. He provided me a tremendous amount of options and communicated the pros/cons at each decision point. Fred kept me in the communication loop throughout the process with status updates and pictures. Fred shipped the items in protective crates. I am extremely pleased with our table and I highly recommend Fred.

    Frederic produced an AWESOME table for us. He communicated thoroughly the process, kept us informed during the build and was a true professional. It was a pleasure to work with him on our first custom piece of furniture.

    Hello 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.

    I very much enjoyed working with Fredric. His design and craftsmanship were excellent and I feel like I received exactly what I asked for. My project was complex and he came up with a perfect solution that both meet my requirements and was visually impressive. I will not hesitate to work with this maker again for any wood working projects.
