Frequently Asked Questions

What should I expect when ordering a custom table?

I personally handle every step — from selecting the perfect slab to final delivery. You’ll receive slab photos, material options, and a clear quote within 3 business days of your inquiry.

What is the first step?

Fill out the contact form with your project details (dimensions, wood preference, budget range, etc.). The more information you provide, the faster and more accurate my response will be.

Do I get to choose my slab?

Yes. After reviewing your request, I’ll send you multiple high-quality slab options with photos and pricing so you can choose exactly what you want.

What is the typical lead time?

Most custom live edge tables are completed within 90 days or less, depending on size and current commissions.

How much do custom tables cost?

Dining and conference tables generally range from $10,000 to $35,000. Pricing depends on size, slab quality, base design, and finish. I work with a wide range of budgets and will always show you options that fit yours.

Do you offer custom bases?

Yes. I can build matching wooden trestle bases or custom steel bases in powder coat, brass, or other finishes. I also install select pre-made bases at no extra charge.

What finish do you use?

I use Rubio Monocoat hardwax oil on all wood tables. It provides excellent water, alcohol, and heat resistance while keeping the natural look and feel of the live edges. For high-traffic or restaurant applications, I can also apply more durable finishes upon request.

Can I visit the shop?

My shop is not open to the public, but local clients can schedule a private appointment to view slabs or finished pieces.

Do you ship nationwide?

Yes. Fully insured white-glove delivery is available across the U.S. and worldwide.
