DINING TABLES
How are the
dining table and chairs working? "I just walk into the room and smile."
- Ami Moore
Hand-planing creates
the softly undulating surface characteristic of our tables. And because
our furniture is finished with tung oil, your hand actually touches
wood when it touches our tabletops.
Topboards are
grain-matched, then fastened with either spline joinery or glue.
Breadboards grace the ends of our standard dining tables, serving both
aesthetic and functional purposes. The mortise-and-tenon joinery and
peg fasteners of the breadboards create a beautiful surface design and
enable the topboards to contract and expand seasonally.
Alterations to the dining
tables include adding a drawer, increasing the standard three-quarter
inch thickness of the top to one inch, hand planing, adjusting the
length and width, spline-joining the top, and decreasing the standard
number of top-boards from five to eight, to three or four (this
alteration is dependent on the availability of lumber).
