Our History
A few years ago, when we found ourselves in need of a dining table that would comfortably seat our family and friends, my wife and I embarked on a short-lived, ultimately futile effort to find one that would strike a balance between our modern rustic aesthetic and utilitarian needs. Though the choices were many, very few corresponded to our vision, and those that did were priced radically beyond what we had budgeted.
Eventually, my wife suggested that I build one. After all, we knew exactly what we wanted and I had the means and ability, having spent more than a decade as a General Contractor. Thick and rustic, we built our table out of solid FSC certified structural beam stock. It embodies a simplicity of design that yields almost complete versatility, complimenting anything from California Craftsman to Mid-Century modern architecture. And most importantly, it has become the ultimate centerpiece for meals, celebrations, and memorable conversations with those we love.
As the years went by, countless friends and acquaintances expressed an interest in having us build a dining table for their own homes, many going so far as to offer cash deposits, until the question emerged – why not?
Our custom-built dining tables and benches are hand-crafted in California with the same care and attention as the one we first designed for our family. Available in the size and finish of your choice, they are built to last for generations, each set developing its own character and rich patina over time.
We wish for you as much love and laughter at your table as there has been at ours.
