We are a small mom-and-pop shop that works hands-on to craft tables, mantels, and countertops. We feel so very fortunate to reclaim old wood from the fading American landscape and to create wonderful pieces that can last generations. It is indeed a blessing. We work together with exceptionally talented blacksmiths who add true, hand-hammered ironwork to some already fantastic, well-crafted reclaimed wood pieces.
Farm Tables
Our artistry comes alive when we create farm tables, harvest tables, trestle tables, and even industrial base tables. This old reclaimed wood lends itself wonderfully to truly touchable beauty. With our tables, you just can’t help but touch 'em and run your hand across 'em.
Wood Countertops
As a returning trend, wood countertops are great. With flowing edges, unique colors, and interesting textures, our reclaimed wood countertops are even better than modern solid wood countertops.
Fireplace Mantels
These beam mantels are the real thing – many with ax marks from American settlers in the 1800s. There’s no “distressing” in our shop; it’s all original. We sand and finish to make each beam a thing of beauty. Our blacksmith partners can add a wonderful variety of accents to each piece.

    Antique Woodworks, specifically Kevin Coffel, was amazing to work with. Despite only communicating through email and pictures, he was able to deliver exactly what we were looking for in our mantle. With this piece being such a crucial statement piece in our new home, I can’t begin to put into words how nice it was to have Kevin concern himself with giving us exactly what we wanted. It is truly a beautiful work of art and we can’t wait to have it installed.

    Working with Kevin Coffel from Antique Woodworks was a pleasure from my very first email correspondence with him. Kevin was quick to respond and supplied an abundance of examples of both his past and ongoing projects. As we continued communicating specifics about the project we wanted to have done, Kevin provided expertise and valuable suggestions to help us in our decision with what would be "best" for our project. His communication was timely, professional, and always value added. Once we agreed to what we wanted, he provided updates to the ongoing work and made excellent suggestions that would better enhance the fireplace mantle he was making for us. We were completely satisfied with the work he did and the finished product even exceeded our expectations. I would very highly recommend Kevin for any projects you may be considering. The work he did will bring an increased beauty to our home.

    Kevin hit it out of the ballpark with our mantel and corbels! As a builder of fine homes and developer of legacy properties, I heartily recommend him. I especially appreciate the history behind each piece. No doubt Mari was indispensible behind the scenes. Thank you, and God bless you and your loved ones.

    The process of working with Kevin and the tam at Antique Woodworks was seamless and efficient. Even though everything was done remotely, it was very simple and questions we had were answered promptly. We could not be more pleased with the finished product and it was an added bonus to learn the history of the wood that was used in making our fireplace mantle. The piece they made for us will be a focal point in our home for years to come.

    Kevin sent us a beautiful oak beam from a barn cut to our specifications. It was just what we wanted, arrived in perfect condition and was just what we wanted. Kevin was a pleasure to work with. He was responsive, and willing to work with us in finding just what we wanted. It looks beautiful as a mantle on our fireplace. We cannot recommend him more highly. Gail and Jim

    From beginning to end this was a great project.. I was rebuilding a fireplace and the mantel was the finishing piece. Kevin’s communication along the way advice for color and design and the pictures back and forth made me really feel he was vested in my project. The final product is beautiful and as it should be its the center Piece of the fire place. Truly a pleasure thank you.

    We reviewed mantels on more than 20 websites before purchasing one from Antique Woodworks. The mantels there were extremely well photographed, precisely measured, perfectly described, and sold as advertised. They even included a short history on where they originated. We're very happy with what we purchased.

    Kevin Coffel created a wonderful mantel for the renovation of my home. He promptly answered my first email and, given my initial requirements, suggested several options. His ideas helped me clarify my own project! From an initial White Oak with streaks we ended with a smooth Dark Walnut mantel, more appropriate for the modern style I wanted. Kevin kept the timeline and budget and delivered the mantel as promised. I will gladly work again with Kevin in the future for other house renovations. Thanks Kevin.

    For Custom Dining Table
    5.0

    In the market for a large dining table and wanted something that would rival what I saw at the high end furniture stores (Im looking at you Restoration Hardware). Thats when I found Antique Woodworks. Not only did Kevin send pictures and explain the process, but he told me the source of the material, its history, and the techniques available. Then, as the design brought in new materials, Kevin was able to bring in a blacksmith for custom iron work. The result? A table that looks like it is a century old (because most of it is) exquisitely built, that will be passed down for generations to come. Okay, I can almost hear you now. What about the price? I mean, something handmade of century old materials has to be expensive. I paid less for a real functional work of art from Antique Woodworks than I would have paid for a faux-classic table at the mall. This was my first time working with Kevin at Antique Woodworks and I cannot wait to do it again. I highly recommend their work.
