This is a 6 foot long, 40 inch wide, 31 inch tall Cherry trestle table. The base of this piece is my version of a fancy X design. It is all made using traditional joinery with no screw fasteners. The top of this piece has two live edge panels with a herring bone design down the middle. There are two pin stripes of Cambia and a diamond of walnut in the middle of the table. This is an extremely sturdy table able to sit up to 10 people without anyone straddling a leg. This table is a piece of functional art that can be the center piece of any dining room but not overpower the space because of its smaller stature. The piece has a sprayed outdoor polyurethane finish for extra durability.

For Hand Built Reclaimed Wood TableI absolutely love this table. It is exactly what I was hoping for. Beautiful craftsmanship. I won't hesitate to order anything I need in the future from Jason.

For Small bedside table.Jason made a beautiful small side table for me. It was superbly made, exactly what I had requested, matched the photo I provided and was completed quickly and on schedule. I'm amazed at how seamlessly the whole process worked. I would be pleased to work with Jason again on future projects.

For Elizabeth's Dining TableJason's communication was very clear and swift. He promptly provided a sketch of the project and was very helpful in recommending some changes that improved the quality of the final product. The project arrived on time and in good condition, exactly as discussed in the proposal sketch.
Thank you!

For Ryan's Coffee TableJason first contacted us when we were looking for a coffee table. We chose Jason over several other builders because we were so impressed by the thorough initial communication, where he gave us expert advice, recommendations, and truly gave us the feeling that we could work together on this project.
After messaging back and forth, seeing our new apartment space, and exchanging ideas, my wife and I decided that we wanted to add a couple pieces in addition to the coffee table. No problem, Jason said. We imagined and drew up a wine rack, media console, and side table - all custom made to match the coffee table. The sketches and ideas we sent to Jason were rough at best, and we were taking ideas from several different elements ("we like the pipes on this piece, but the reclaimed wood from this picture, and then the stain from this magazine article"…etc.). Jason had more than a handful to deal with from us, but he was able to address and take care of every request and concern we had! Jason's stellar communication, we thought, was the reason we chose him…
Until we received all 4 pieces of furniture 6 weeks later. We were absolutely blown away. Jason personally delivered the furniture to us, and as we moved it in, he described the detail in it. The stain on all the pieces matched equally, to my wife's delight. She was so concerned the stain would not turn out how she had envisioned, but Jason had done even better - our furniture is a rich oak stain, dark espresso with orange hues coming through, and black checks drawing your gaze. The media console doors were constructed with the hinges at a 45-degree angle, a tough find he said - the panels of the doors he had blowtorched to give the reclaimed wood a darker, charred color. The side and coffee tables were a industrial, but polished feel - exactly what we had imagined. The bases of reclaimed wood ask to be felt and admired.
And then, Jason unveiled the wine rack. Undoubtedly the piece I was most excited about. We had sent several drawings to Jason on this piece, requesting industrial piping, hanging wine rack from the top shelf, light sockets for rustic edison bulbs behind the rack (complete with dimmer switch), and space for a wine fridge. Jason, as with all our other furniture, drew the pieces up to our specs, and then sent us pictures of the wood he would use a few days later. It turned out better than what we had even imagined. I wish we could attach pictures to this review, because this piece truly represents the talented craftsman we now see in Jason. We get complimented on it every time we have anyone over. This wine rack is a piece that would easily cost $6000+ at Williams-Sonoma, and to be honest, a true work of art we will never willingly part with.
We had second thoughts about contracting someone to hand-make our furniture, long gone now that we met Jason. I would almost venture to say that I never want to buy furniture from a store again, if I can help it; this experience was flat-out incredible and well-worth the money.
Jason's furniture will always have a place in our home. The hard work, passion, and love this man puts into his work is in the wood imbibed. To have those values apparent in our furniture… is priceless. Thank you Jason, we'll be in touch in the future!
