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.

For Karina Mid Century Walnut Table Base For Stone Or Marble Top5.0I am thrilled about how my coffee table turned out: design, quality, and craftsmanship. Mark was so helpful and patient throughout the design process. He understood what I wanted based on photos of other designs I sent him and he came up with the perfect design. He designed a piece that has minimalist and clean lines, yet that has all the storage that was so important to me as a condo dweller. The workmanship and attention to detail is apparent in the piece. I now have the perfect coffee table for my space that is unique, yet timeless. I cannot recommend Mark enough, whether collaborating with him on a unique design or purchasing a design he already has thought out, as the quality will be second to none.
