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 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.

Beautiful, well made and will last for generations. Fred was great, he kept us up to date and was always available to communicate with. Highly recommend him, without hesitation.

    Fred made us a beautiful kitchen table. The table is stunning. He even included us in the process of picking the wood which was a great experience. He provided different sketches to visualize our descriptions and he communicated and followed up throughout the process to ensure the table, base and legs were what we wanted. His knowledge and expertise are evident in his work. If you are looking for something beautifully made, you should reach out to him immediately. After this experience, I can say with certainty that I will not be shopping at big box stores for pieces that I want to last forever and provide character in our home.

    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.
