On my Tables I use 1700’s-1800’s worn smooth flooring, mostly Eastern White Pine from PA.

It has wonderful character & the old patina from all those years. The boards are carefully selected when purchased and loaded each time for the home trip to Georgia. Then built to your specifications, which I select  according to your likes. A lot of reproduction table makers use vintage beams from old mills & barns, which are then re-sawn, back into lumber for tables, which is nice, but not the same.


The tables are still made from old wood but have lost quite a bit of their natural patina which gives it that old look I so love & so they have to stain the tables & possible distress them even to regain that look they lost in the cut. Once the wood has been planed or heavily sanded it also loses this look.


The wood I use is 1700’s-1800’s worn smooth flooring which has plenty of patina & character and holds it’s looks that it’s been around & used for hundreds of years, & I don’t use any stains, varnishes or poly.  I use natural oils & waxes, which gives it a matted or more natural finish, which darkens the wood naturally & brings back the beauty. I also use reproduction 1700’s style nails to keep it all in the same period. Just like what a primitive harvest table or farm table would look like from the past.

 I offer several hand turned leg styles also straight beams, 4x4 or 4x6, tapered shaker beam legs or narrow shaker style tapered legs.
or I can custom your legs style if you have one custom you'd like.
