Our handcrafted tables

Since handcrafting a table for our home back in 2011, custom tables have become a big part of what we do. Combining craftsmanship with our love of woodworking, we have made tables of varying sizes and designs. We wanted to share some of our favourites.

The nun table

By using white oak, a modern wood choice, to make the nun table, which is traditional in design, we’ve changed feel of the table. From vintagy to an updated fresh take on a favourite table form. Its long length is characteristic of this design while drawers on both sides serve as a functional and aesthetic feature.

This table was debuted at the 2016 Interior Design Show (IDS) alongside our pink doors, and Alanna Canvanagh’s art. It was an exciting year at IDS as we felt our work was well received.

Piping table

When Make Good Design liked a bench we made inspired by Vietnamese bamboo daybeds, we translated the bench’s design into a table for the space they were designing. Legs and stretchers are all the same size, and seamlessly jointed for a clean look. Made in solid white oak. In these pictures of the table, you can see the bench we started with.

We showcased the Piping table at IDS2018 with our curvy black door and newly patented single track bypass hardware.

Custom work creates opportunities for new and exciting designs, like our race track table.

 

Race track table

When a client of Campbell Drummond Design wanted a table with a sculptural base that echoed the shape of race track, we collaborated to bring their vision to life.

Being a large table, we had to consider stability and balance. After tweaking the design, we decided on a black metal base at the bottom. It allows for sufficient leg room while ensuring the table is sturdy.

More projects

We made a table for one of Feasby and Bleeks’s designs, featured in Home & Home magazine. The home was picked as “best home of the year.” See it here!

For Judy Petersiel Design, we made a black stained oak piece with a metal base (made in-house!) with brass plating. At 9 feet long, the table anchors the room.

The Pedestal Walnut Table Roams the City Again

Hillcrest seems to be a great area in Toronto, and the 4 feet by 10 feet pedestal walnut table thinks so too!  So that's where it's will settle, in a beautifully and delightfully renovated house along with many charming pieces such as a salvaged orange vanity on the main floor powder room. The living room has been turned into the dinning room since eating is much more fun than sitting around on sofas.

Even the furry member of the house is excited about the new table.  I hope he knows not to jump up on the table.

My father in-law standing proud since he and Rock built this table together!  Rock has to step aside and share the fame.

I'm being invited back in the new year when the chairs are in and the renovation is more settled to take photos of the place!  I'm very excited about that and very excited to see what chairs our client fancies for this table!
