Chestnut Food Prep And Dining Table.
The customer asked me to build a table like the one pictured bottom right image for her 19th century home with a small kitchen. We decided on reclaimed chestnut. Since it was to be used for both food prep and as a dining table I laminated the the top instead of planking it with open seams.

Great service
This Maker has consistently demonstrated excellence in craftsmanship and customer service.
I have forty years of experience in the woodworking. I build custom designed furniture from both new and reclaimed wood. My specialty is designing and building tables, buffets, bars, kitchen islands and similar pieces. I like to incorporate other craft items (and items provided by client ) in my work such as blacksmith hardware, old glass and stained glass. Once a proposal is agreed to I will provide both a detailed drawing and a stain or paint sample. As a project progresses I give updates and photos of the stage of completion. I have an excellent on time completion rate. Please see my reviews from past clients.
Although I include drawings after a proposal is agreed to if you would like a design prior to signing a proposal my design fee is 50.00 per hour. This fee is waved if later a proposal is agreed to.

For 60 X 60 Square Dining Room Table With Tiered Tuscany Pedestal Base5.0John was exceptional to work with, he designed and built our kitchen table. We were fortunate to have chosen someone local to us and were able to come by his shop to choose the right stain and check on the process.
John was great at communicating each step of the process. He is experienced in woodworking and was able to offer insight on appropriate table height and base options for our table. John gave good timelines and even gave us a heads up when the stain was taking a little long to dry.
Shipping/delivery did not apply to us, as we were able to pick it up ourselves.
I highly recommend working with John. We love our table and look forward to creating many memories around the dinner table with our family.
