Large Oak And Walnut Tray

Fred made the process so fun. And so easy for us to create
exactly what we envisioned. Well done!!

Our 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.

Let me begin by saying that over the last three decades, my husband and I have purchased several pieces of custom-made furniture. While there have been many good to excellent craftsmen, Fredric reigns as the best. Fredric’s life-long experience with woodworking, coupled with his diverse skillset and experience (i.e., formal training in mechanical engineering; studies under a noted sculptor; and a teacher of fine art color photography) have paved the way for him to become a master craftsman whose work exemplifies his diversified background.

Working with Fredric was a wonderful, mutually effective exchange of ideas and recommendations resulting in the final delivery of a beautiful curly cherry wood dining table. Fredric kept us very apprised of his progress through detailed updates. Throughout this process, it became abundantly clear to us how much pride Fredric takes in his craft along with his consummate desire to ensure 100% customer satisfaction. He is a perfectionist and an artisan – attributes that serve his customers well.

Lastly, Fredric is a man of his word. At the start of this project, he provided us with an estimated delivery time. Despite the challenges of Covid, Fredric was able to have our table delivered on time across multiple states (PA to AZ). Since that time, Fredric has followed up with us to: 1) ensure we are satisfied with the end result and 2) provide us with guidance on the care and maintenance of our new table.

Bottom line? My husband and I highly recommend Fredric to anyone looking for a museum quality custom-made piece of furniture. Simply said and summing it all up … he is the best of the best.

Working with Fred was an absolute pleasure. He was responsive, helpful, and patient throughout. The end product was beautiful and he was always professional. Fred has my absolutely highest recommendation.

We are beyond pleased with our beautiful English Elm live-edge table by Fred Blum! Fred's work truly sparks immense joy. We embarked on the custom table journey unsure of exactly what we wanted, but Fred guided us along the way, taught us so much about the process with patience and care. The final product blew us away, even though Fred had kept us posted on his progress, seeing the table in our space for the first time was truly awe-inspiring. We love the table, and our house now feels like a home with this statement piece built by Fred. I highly recommend using Fred for your next custom project.
