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.

    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.

    It's been an absolute pleasure working with Fred. From the very beginning, his communication was thoughtful, quick and collaborative; he an artist who can turn basic ideas into beautiful reality. I would absolutely recommend him for anyone who is looking for an heirloom quality piece of furniture.

    Fred worked with me to find the perfect slab for my live edge table and did a beautiful job customizing it exactly as I wanted. I appreciated his communication, care and friendliness throughout the project. Highly recommend!

    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!

    We started out to get a cherry dining table, but with some help from Fred we finally decided on a live edge walnut table. Fred was a great help throughout the process, giving excellent advice and responding very quickly to questions. The result is an absolutely stunning table that will see us through many family gatherings to come. I especially like the fact that Fred was able to design the base using the "cutoff" portion of the slab we chose. The result is that over 95% of the table is from a single tree! I would not hesitate to order my next table from Fred!
