We call our furniture "semi-custom" because each piece is guided by the wood’s natural characteristics.
Our wood comes from fallen trees, carrying unique features like spalting—an intricate, organic pattern formed by fungi that enhances its visual appeal.
Since every piece of wood is different, the final design takes shape during the crafting process. We build to your size and functional preferences while allowing the wood’s inherent beauty to shine in the finished piece.
Tell us the dream: Reach out via our contact form or by phone. Give us your ideas, inspiration photos and measurements. We can give an approximate cost and possibly some more ideas based on wood available.
Source & quote: We'll source the wood either from our own stock or from other local sources and provide a quote. You'll provide 50% of the cost before we start or purchase wood.
Update & deliver: We'll keep you up to date and suggest adjustments to make best use of each unique piece of wood. And in a few weeks, we can deliver your item.
We refer to our furniture as "semi-custom" because we let the wood’s natural character guide the design.
Our wood comes from fallen trees, each carrying unique features and timeworn details. One of the most prized characteristics is spalting—a striking discoloration caused by fungi that enhances its beauty.
Since every piece of wood is distinct, we don’t know exactly how it will look until we begin working with it. While we craft each piece to fit your size requirements, we encourage you to embrace the wood’s organic form in the final design.

The basics
A reclaimed wood table is created from wood from naturally fallen trees, or in some cases from trees that had to be removed because of disease or safety issues. It's a design style that celebrates the raw and organic beauty of the wood, providing a unique and rustic appearance to the furniture.
Cost
The combination of unique materials, skilled craftsmanship, customization, limited availability, specialized drying processes, artistic value, and environmental considerations all contribute to the higher cost of reclaimed wood tables. Wood that is beat up and aged requires special consideration when restoring. We want the furniture to be strong. At the same time, we preserve the unique characteristics of the wood - which usually means lots of sanding.

Style
We would say that it definitely is. Any design that leans heavily on natural elements tends to stand the test of time. Also, interior design continues to trend toward incorporating natural elements and a rustic aesthetic. The unique and organic look, showcasing the natural imperfections of reclaimed wood, adds a touch of warmth and character to both modern and more traditional spaces.
Our pieces in particular lean into the natural look of the wood. We don't usually use brightly colored epoxies or shiny finishes, which can look somewhat unnatural and are more likely to date themselves.
Cost
The price of reclaimed wood tables is based on species of wood, length and thickness of the piece or pieces, quality of wood, treatments such as kiln drying, and cost of resin for poured slabs.
The wood alone can vary in price. As an example, if you're sourcing wood from a nearby Hudson Valley mill, you can buy a 9 foot by 18 inch red oak slab for $250. But a black walnut slab of the same size would be $700.
Our wood slabs are individually sourced from fallen trees and most require extensive finishing due to their age and various battle scars. We think these pieces are the most unique and interesting, making them well worth the extra cost.
Care
We recommend sealing, and we seal our pieces to stabilize them and protect them from moisture, scratching and cracking.
