Walnut Dining Table

Walnut dining table 80" long x 40" wide x 1-1/8" thick on four-leg walnut base. Finish is satin polyurethane varnish. The clients wanted a table in top-quality walnut that was unique and had clean, simple lines but was still artistically interesting. I prepared drawings of some design ideas from which they chose the one they liked.

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.

    We are SO happy with our new dining table! Fred helped us locate and choose a beautiful sycamore slab for the project. His workmanship and attention to detail is very impressive, and communication was a breeze. We highly recommend Fred for any custom wood project!

    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 wonderful. He was reliable and professional from the beginning - quick with a proposal, prompt with responses, sensitive to my design requests, eager to make me part of the process from start to finish, diligent in providing photos along the way, and conscientious when it came to delivery and shipping across the country. His work is beautiful and our custom dining table is exactly what I envisioned.
