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.

    I ordered a large tray to sit on top of an ottoman. The finished product is perfect. It is very well made, attractive, sturdy and beautifully finished. He reached out to me with questions, gave his phone number for convenience. He sent a photo of another project similar to mine and completed everything in the time frame he specified.

    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.

    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.

    Fredric delivered more than I could have asked for with this beautiful project. He has been impeccably realistic, attentive, and receptive to both my wildest and most mundane ideas, while gently reminding me of structural ramifications of said ideas, and always offering solutions. Fredric never once tried to dissuade me from an idea, he simply offered options to achieve them gracefully. As an engineer, artist, and peerless craftsman, the multiple degrees he has earned can be felt in his uncanny ability to bring your visions to fruition in such a way that they will last a lifetime. After our initial design discussion, we were constantly on the same page throughout this project, and I outright refuse to work with anyone else from this day forth.

    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.
