Walnut Accent Table
Size: 6' 9" X 19" (32 Board Feet). Beautiful Bastogne Walnut is one of the rarest of all hardwoods. It is a mix between Claro and English Walnut, and is often used to make gun stocks due to of its strength and hardness. Peter realized how the bark edges where part of the life essence of this accent table and the effect it created is truly amazing. Made of iron, the Singer sewing machine base is both sturdy and heavy duty. It gives a beautiful support that will last forever and flows naturally with the inherent beauty of the wood grain. The finish is a polymerized Tung Oil that seals the wood and gives a hard, durable finish that is designed to never crack or peel. A lot of our time is spent in the concrete jungle away from nature, so it is a blessing to be able to have such a piece of living art in your home for generations of enjoyment

Erdei Designs
Erdei Designs specializes in custom Live Edge pieces and have a wide variety of Live Edge slabs as well.
All of our wood is salvaged from naturally fallen trees in north west America. We have a great selection of Walnut, Maple, Fur, Elm, Sequoia, Cypress and more.
IT’S IN MY NAME, IT’S IN MY FAMILY.
ERDEI derives from the Hungarian word “Erdö” which means forest. ERDEI literally translates to “the man from the woods”. And this truly is my origin. I have been surrounded by wood and Old-World Craftsmen my entire life.
My family has been doing this for generations now.
Life at Erdei Designs is simple. We work with wood to create breathtaking pieces of furniture for you.
You see, every tree tells a story. When we salvage a tree, we work hard to give it a new
future. My grandfather was a master carpenter. He was born in 1902 in Romania (which used to be Hungary). He learned to be a Master Carpenter in the city of Mezokovacsháza. I still have his Master's Certificate. My father is an amazing carpenter, too, having been taught by his father. In the
European tradition, my father taught me as well. He taught me, “Erdei’s do not assemble furniture, we build living pieces of art that last for lifetimes to come.” Focus, dedication and attention to detail are a lasting part of the Erdei family tradition.
As a young kid, I would spend summers and spring breaks in my family wood shop just to watch and learn from the masters. And I never lost my love of wood as I grew older. The fact is this: the wood gets me. And I get the wood.
When I look at our creations I get goose bumps every time. So I wanted to take a minute to tell you my story. I love salvaging trees and imbuing new life into them for our
customers. My job is understanding the art that God has created in nature and releasing it for you. It is more than a passion, it is my lasting love.
You can see this tradition reflected in everything we build. We sincerely hope you get inspired by our work. We are here to serve you with the best of our abilities.
