Great 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 Free Form/ Live Edge Tables5.0Our live-edge walnut table is perfect! It's beautiful! It's clearly a master craftsman's work! It's everything we wanted and more.
Fred was terrific to work with! He listened to our preferences. He was up-front about what he could deliver vs what was on our wish list. He was just as upfront on the time needed to make the table. The result was better than what we had on our wish list. (And he finished it early!)
We unhesitatingly recommend Fred! If you are looking for a custom-made live edge table, you will not be disappointed. - SJ

For Dining table5.0Working 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.

For Wendy's Kitchen & Bar5.0I 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.

For Live Edge Walnut Table With Turquoise Inlay5.0Working with Fred was a pleasure. I've given 5 stars in each category even though shipping did not apply in my case because I opted to pick up my table rather than have it shipped. It was obvious to me from his initial proposal that Fred is a passionate craftsman. The design process involved a lot of communication back and forth and Fred provided helpful suggestions but allowed me to feel I was really designing my own one of a kind piece. It was also obvious to me that he was enjoying the process as much as I was! In the end I picked up a beautiful walnut live edge table inlaid with turquoise that is a showpiece in my home. I highly recommend Fred's expertise and artistry!
