Round tables in solid hardwood, without resin. The bases here include a painted pedestal, a wooden X, a steel X and four curved legs, and each one is chosen for the top it carries.

The top is oak, walnut, maple, mahogany or hickory, finished by hand, and the diameter comes from the room it is going into and the people it has to seat.

Before you ask

Can I see the table before it is built?
That is the whole way I work. When slabs are used, I cut each slab out in Photoshop, size it against the measurements marked on it, and lay your top out to your dimensions. Then a SketchUp model shows the shape, proportions and details, along with AI-assisted visualizations to help you see the table in a finished space, before a board is cut. The drawing lands within a few percent of the finished table.
Can I see the wood and the finish first?
Yes. A sample board is made and shipped to you, so you can hold the species, the resin and the finish in your own room before anything is cut.
How is a commission priced?
Every piece is priced from its dimensions, its species and its base, so there is no list. Tell me the room and the budget you have in mind and I will tell you what is possible inside it. Size, species and base all move.
How does it get to me?
Across Chicagoland, I generally handle delivery and installation personally. Everywhere else, pieces travel white glove and are placed in the room. My work has gone to 47 of the 48 continental states.
Who actually builds it?
I design every piece myself and lead the build in my studio in Geneva, Illinois, from the drawing to the finish. You deal with me from the first call to the installation. There is no salesperson or account rep in between, and nobody the project is handed off to.
Do you make anything besides tables?
Bespoke and wall pieces, yes, and I am taking more of that work.
