Our semi-custom reclaimed tables are individually hand-crafted to reveal and celebrate the imperfections, age, history and nature of each unique piece of wood. Say goodbye to big box furniture and enjoy an art piece for your home or office.
We call our furniture "semi-custom" because we allow the wood to tell us what it wants to be.
We source our wood from fallen trees, which develop interesting imperfections and battle scars like spalting, the natural discoloration created by fungi. Spalting is highly valued for its beauty.
Until we start working with a piece of wood, we don't know exactly how it will turn out. We can create a piece to your general specifications such as size but we ask that you allow the wood itself to determine the look of the final piece.

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.
