Rustic Farm Or Industrial Loft Dining/Conference Table
This table is huge at 8' x 4 ' x 30" tall and could serve as a dining room or a conference room piece. I sold the one pictured locally but I would love to build another one! The entire table is made from reclaimed lumber. The table top consists of four salvaged, wide-plank, tongue-and-groove floor boards and features a pegged breadboard edge. Table top and base are attached using square-head iron nails - just the way these boards were joined 200 years ago when the house they were saved from was built. The table base is true timber frame construction, with mortise and tenon joinery held together with oak pegs. Some of the roman numerals cut into the lumber are those of the craftsman who built the house to mark floor board and rafter placement. I added some numerals myself to keep track of the joinery as I was building the table. Modern fasteners are incorporated into my design so the table can easily be broken down into manageable/movable sections. I can build this table in custom sizes. Please contact me to discuss your vision. Shipped within the continental United States. Possible free delivery within the Philadelphia area.

About Me
Before going full-time with furniture making in 2013, I was self-employed – for over 20 years - Most of my career has been spent building custom stairs and railings.Along with doing custom stairs I have also restored several 100+ year old homes and built several custom kitchens. All along – actually since age 12 – what I’ve wanted to do most is make furniture. Now thanks to Custom Made I can reach new customers all over the United States. I did a lot of demolition - while restoring old houses - and developed a liking of the 100+ year old wood I was taking down. It is this reclaimed wood – with all its holes, cracks, knots and color variation – that I still prefer and seek out for my Urban Industrial line of furniture.
About My Business/About My Work
My two favorite furniture styles to work on and create are Mid Century Modern and Industrial designs because these two styles are more clean lines and interesting wood selection and less about elaborate finishes or moldings.I have a great local supplier for the most beautiful live edge domestic hardwoods you have ever seen.I also have a pretty good network for reclaimed wood.

For Live Edge Black Walnut Console Table5.0Don is a top notch craftsman. The table is incredible at every detail, it was finished in a timely manner and shipping was lighting fast. All around - we highly recommend Don's work and wouldn't hesitate to use him again for another piece.

For Live Edge Walnut Console Table / Sofa Table / Free Form Edge Table4.8The table is superb. Completed on time. Excellent packaging of the table for shipment - a big project in itself. Only 4 stars on "Expertise" because Dan, who was new to Custom Made, didn't make it easy to accept his proposal. Nonetheless, I would highly recommend him.

For Urban Industrial Counter Stool/Bar Stool W/ Seat Back And Arms - Reclaimed Wood, Welded Steel Tubing5.0We received our custom counter stools this week, right on schedule. Even though the a couple of the cartons showed damage the product arrived without a blemish. The stools look just like the photos that advertise them, sleek, sturdy and beautiful. We would not hesitate to purchase from Don again, job well done! Thanks Stephen Chesnut

For Custom Stool For Ben5.0I had a really great experience working with Don! I wanted a stool for my kitchen and he was able to customize it to fit my counter (which is a little taller than standard). It's solid and looks even better in person.
