Epoxy and wood dining table
My Story
A Unique Experience
An instant heirloom, this remarkable table was crafted from a tree harvested from the client’s own property, a tree imbued with countless personal memories they cherished. When the decision was made to cut down the tree, the owner felt a strong desire to preserve its legacy. He envisioned a large dining table made from the tree’s lumber, ensuring its story would continue in a meaningful way.
After the tree was properly dried, he reached out to us to bring his vision to life. Through a collaborative process, we settled on a stunning design featuring an epoxy-infused table. This unique piece consists of three wooden planks with flowing epoxy rivers that weave through the wood, creating a striking visual effect.
The client expressed a desire to retain some of the tree's natural characteristics and historical elements. Over the years, various items had been hung from its branches, leaving behind nails embedded in the wood. While we removed most of these, a few were intentionally left in place, adding to the table's character and story. This table is not just a piece of furniture; it is a vessel for future family memories as the family continues to grow.
Measuring an impressive 92 inches long and 48 inches wide, this large dining table is designed to host countless gatherings, ensuring that the legacy of the tree—and the memories it holds—will live on for generations to come.

Figueroa's Fine Custom Furniture
Ruben Figueroa, who is the owner/manager of Figueroa's Fine Custom Furniture, talks about how he was inspired to start his business and describes the inspiration that he uses to manage the team that works for him to produce every piece of fine furniture “I can remember, like it was yesterday, the woodshop at Saint Mary's Recreational Center across from where I lived growing up in Bronx, New York. One day, I found myself exploring the Center, and the smell of fresh-cut wood from the shop was all it took to get me into a simple woodworking project, and I have been hooked ever since! Taking woodshop classes, reading trade publications, and following this passion wherever it leads has been an amazing and challenging journey. As a result, I have learned through experience how to produce a quality piece of furniture. In my opinion, a real craftsperson puts their heart and soul into each creation, and this is truly evident in the sweat, blood, and effort that goes into every detail. When I begin a piece, the "fascination with wood" starts all over again. How does the final piece come into being? How do the raw materials form into a thing of beauty? How does each creation become appealing and unique in its own right? I have come to an understanding that one of the magic ingredients is a part of the craftsperson and his team that stays within the final product. My intention is always to meet the needs of the clients. That is, to make a piece that is functional, beautiful, and well-built. I am filled with joy when the client is thrilled with the final product. After working with wood for over 30 years, I can honestly say that I enjoy it more today than when I walked into that shop as a ten-year-old boy. I hope you will recognize the love and care that my team puts into every piece as you view our website. Ruben Figueroa personally supervises every project produced by Figueroa's Fine Custom Furniture team to maintain his unique quality and attention to detail. When you choose Ruben Figueroa and Figueroa's Fine Custom Furniture, you are selecting the absolute best custom work.

For storage bench/dog crate5.0I had very detailed instructions; Ruben followed them perfectly and made sure to communicate with me about any question. He delivered the project himself to my house on time and in great condition. I very highly recommend him to anyone looking for custom-made furniture.
