Boxcar Table
This unique and vintage Boxcar table is completely built by hand. The wood is reclaimed floor planks from retired railway boxcars, built in the 1920's and 1930's. This rustic wood has traveled the rails of America for decades and wears the story of its life on its surface. It has a rich color with beautiful character marks, as well as natural distressing that many attempt to replicate. The planks are formed in a butcher block style which makes the wood stable and prevents bowing and cupping. This wood is very versatile and in rare supply which is what makes it special! We sell many of these tables and it is such a pleasure for me to build. This table can be left as natural and raw as you like or can also be refined by not taking away its character. We use a wax finish for protection. It is made to order in a couple of standard sizes. See the drop-down menu for details and prices. We not only make tables out of this wood but desks and coffee tables as well. Custom sizes (outside of this listing) are no problem; all you have to do is contact me with your dimensions for a quote. Our goal is to make it look like you had your house built around your table! My current build time is 4-6 weeks. Remember that this table is built to order, so please expect some slight variation in your top's color and grain appearance – all wood is different. Shipping is $150 – this includes wrapping, palletizing and freight service to your nearest terminal anywhere in the 48 states. If you prefer door-to-door delivery, there may be an increase in price (due to lift gate and residential fees). As a courtesy, I will do my best to find a terminal that is close to your residence. Thanks for checking out my handcrafted furniture.

TENANTS OF OUR DESIGN
NARRATIVE- Our focus is designing and building products with a form follows function approach. We work with our clients to fully understand the purpose of each project, the function of each piece and any constraints. This allows our pieces to check all of the boxes and fit as though the room was built around it.
CRAFTSMANSHIP- We continue to collectively hand build all our pieces in our McKinney workshop. Our creative approach - from concept, design engineering, sourcing and fabrication - embodies a very careful attention to detail and quality in every step.
SUSTAINABILITY- We search far and wide for different reclaimed hardwoods. Some of our collection includes 600-year-old French Oak and 300-year-old Venetian Oak. We often marvel at the history that this wood has experienced. We also have local Cotton Mill wood that pairs very well with our metal fabrications.
BUDGET – We like to offer our furniture in a tiered approach. Since each piece is truly unique and hand built, we can offer different materials that have different price points. We try to work within our client’s budget whenever possible.
