Ashley Farmhouse Extension Dining Table

The Ashley table is an extension table, originally designed for a client in a circular straw bale home in Frederick, MD. The extension mechanism resides in the base and easily pulls out so that leaves can be added at each end for entertaining larger parties. This table is made from oak that was harvested from the client's property and features mortise and tenon joinery. It is finished with an all-natural plant-based varnish. The dimensions shown are 72"'w x 38"d x 36"h, with the option of extending to 95"w with one leaf in place, and 118"w with two leaves in place. This design can be modified for a custom fit.

    Mark did a great job with communication throughtout the project. The finished product looks great! He built a custom counter height table with storage for an eat-in kitchen area. He finished on time and delivered promptly. I would definitely consider using him for future projects.

    The table is AMAZING! It is exactly what I wanted. Mark communicates well, he sent a video of the table getting built and updated me on the progress of the table. He was very professional and just a nice person.
    I would use him again.

    Mark is an artist. His understanding of design and wood led to a great outcome. My table is truly beautiful.

    He is not limited by what he has done before…you have a vision and together it is executed.
