Solid Hickory Bar Top / Island Top

$2,500

A beautiful kitchen should have an amazing island top. This hickory top was developed as the perfect compliment to the clients granite countertops and hickory cabinetry. We used a unique process to build the top long, and then cut the ends to fold under and glue back on to create a traditional 2+" countertop edge, the sides were capped with 2" hickory to finish the top off. The hole top sits on an MDF plate atop the cabinetry to allow for expansion and afford the top room to breath with the seasons. This top can be made in a variety of wood species and sizes.

  • Great service

    This Maker has consistently demonstrated excellence in craftsmanship and customer service.

Our focus on furniture happened many years ago (25+) as a result of some left-over lumber, the need for a bench by the backdoor, and a frugal resourceful nature that told us to give it a try. The bench turned out beautiful (we still use it every day), the experiment turned to a hobby, the hobby to an obsession, the obsession to a journey… We design and build custom furniture on commission. Our shop specializes in made to order custom furniture specifically for individual clients.

    Amy is fantastic! I searched every furniture store on the planet for a specific size end table and couldn’t find what I was looking for. And if I did find something close, it wouldn’t deliver for many months at best. Amy made our tables to the exact size, wood, style and finish we wanted in 1/4 the time any online retailer could. I’m blown away by this service. Thank you for existing!

    We have been using our new table about three months now and we are totally delighted with it! Amy built the exact table we wished for and was very responsive and helpful with support when we had questions about maintaining its durability and beauty. She worked with us throughout the building process and took highly professional care with safe and impressive packing of the table for long haul shipping (Michigan to NYC suburbs). This was the second time Amy has built a custom piece of furniture for us and we anticipate it won't be the last. We highly recommend Amy and her work to all!
