One of a kind live edge table of ambrosia maple. Ambrosia is term used when wood starts to decay-the ambrosia beetle activity leaves colored streaks that enhance the grain. A large knot adds additional character. The curves of the top are echoed in the bottom spreader. This hand crafted item has a floating top that uses a center spreader and black walnut dowels to lift the top off the legs giving it a lighter look. The base and legs are soft maple. The top is finished with Danish Oil and several coats of wipe on polyurethane. No finish has been applied to the base/legs giving one the option of finishing them differently, if so desired. Dimensions: 48"L x 17"W x 18"H.

  • Long-time member

    A Maker who has been a valued part of this community for several years.

  • Great service

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

I have been designing and building furniture for over 40 years. With retirement, came an opportunity to attend woodworking classes, providing an appreciation for the use of machine tools, hand tool skills and learning from instructors who are the best in their given areas of expertise. Bench Dog Woodworks became a reality.

Favorite pieces in the last couple of years have spanned many styles from the Arts and Crafts period (the designs of Stickley, Limbert, Greene & Greene) to Shaker, mid-century modern, live edge and the use of reclaimed wood. As I learn more about 17th and 18th century woodworking techniques, carving, veneer and inlay are finding their way into my work.

Customization is a specialty. Provide an idea in the form of a photo or a rough sketch and I will work with you to refine the design and turn it into a functional piece.

Traditional joinery techniques (such as mortise and tenon and dovetails) are employed resulting in a more lasting, quality piece. The extra labor involved is often reflected in my pricing.

If you buy something and are not satisfied with the result, I will work with you to make adjustments.

If you need an item by a specific date or for a specific event, please let me know prior to accepting a proposal.

    The project was completed in record time (way faster than he projected)! He communicated with me throughout the effort and provided frequent status updates. He also had some suggestions that made my original design more functional.

    I am beyond thrilled with my final product, but also with Stan's willingness to work with me. He kept me updated with emails and photos, he was willing to meet with me at a lumber yard to choose a live edge slab for the top, more than reasonably priced in my opinion..

    I can't thank Stan enough.

    I absolutely LOVE my new cutting board! Stan was super easy to work with, and he made exactly what I wanted. He delivered it personally, less than a week after I ordered it! We hope to work with him again.

    My wife and I are very happy with our table base. This was our first custom made piece and Stan at Bench Dog made it a pleasurable experience. Stan was patient and quick to respond to my many questions and completed the project on time. He was also willing to apply a finish he had yet to work with, and it came out perfect to match the chairs we have on order. A slight imperfection on a leg is the only reason not a 5 star rating. We recommend Bench Dog as Stan will be our first call on any future projects.
