Basket Weave Table
$4,700.00
I must confess that when one of our guys presented the idea of making a table using the basket weave design from one of the old quilting patterns, I objected sighting that it would take too long and be very expensive to make. I finally relented and he made the table you see in the photos. It turned out extraordinary and I turned out to be the person that was wrong.
It is important to note that this table is not a veneer. It is made with full ¾” blocks tied together with walnut banding. There is somewhere in the vicinity of 400 pieces in it. (I have counted them numerous times and get a different total each time!

Round White Marble Top
$6,800.00
In November of 2019 The Handmade Table joined forces with one of the country’s noted marble producers and hosted a special event for designers from all parts of the country. The event was called Sticks & Stones and was an evening dedicated to furniture creations made of wood and marble. This table is one of the pieces made for that show event and is just now being offered for sale.
The top is made from white Georgia marble. The base is made from segments of very old wooden pikes that were a tool used to raise a barn. They were used by the men raising the barn to push the heavy barn from a flat, prone position to vertical and upright where the beams were grabbed and pegged into place. The round pikes were found in an old mill in Central Pennsylvania and brought to our studio where they waited patiently for the right place and time to be part of an extraordinary piece of furniture. I am quite fond of the round theme for this piece. By that I mean the round tabletop, the round pikes and used in a round base for the table.

Conference Table
$25,000.00
While we have made many, many beautiful and interesting tables this one is arguably the most impressive piece we have ever done. It is a conference or banquet table that is twenty-two feet long and forty-four inches wide made from just two boards. Probably somewhere along the way in the history of tables, there has been something like this made before but I suspect this is the perhaps the only one anywhere like it. And… there is a great back story to it.
Prior to the invention of the threshing machine, wheat was planted, harvested, threshed, and ground to flour, all by hand. (If you are interested, a somewhat detailed story of how this was all this was done can be found in one of my blogs that can be accessed from our website thehandmadetable.art.)
But for now, the boards used for this piece were taken from the “threshing floor” of an old New England barn. The barn had been taken down and the lumber separated out and sold off. I bought a large bundle of flooring and these boards, unknown to me at the time of purchase, were in that bundle. The species is yellow polar. One of the fun things about it is the juxtaposition of the incredibly old and large slabs of wood at the top and the contemporary style of the base.
If you are looking for something that you can be sure of is a one-of-a-kind piece, this would be it.

Contemporary Walnut Top Table
$4,500.00
In forestry terms the label of a Champion Tree has special meaning. Champion trees, which are largely known and catalogued all over the country, are trees that are the largest, or one of the largest, and usually the oldest examples of a specific species. While I can’t know for certain whether the wood that was used to make this table came from something that was a champion tree, I can speculate that the tree the boards came out of was a very large, perhaps of Champion size. They certainly did not come from Home Depot. So more about this table.
It is made of walnut bords that have an extraordinary color to them. There are elongated swirls of light and darker color that extend in some cases almost the entire length of the table. The table is banded (see our Glossary of Terms) and has a Roman Ogee edge around it.
The base is a very interesting X-trestle design that Robbie in our shop came up with specially for this table. The idea with the base was that the top was the real feature of this table so we did not want to make a base that would conflict with or draw attention to the base, verses the top. Well, we failed at that task. The base is extraordinary. When the subject of how to finish the base, the decision was do something simple so it was painted black and we won-by-mistake again. It was just the right thing to do.
