I started building furniture around 1996, while I was a student at The Atlanta College of Art. We were given a woodworking intro class so that we could build canvas stretchers and frames instead of buying them. I found that I loved woodworking, and used the school shop a lot after that lesson. I worked on simple projects I could teach myself to build until I went to visit my uncle in New Jersey.
At the time, he owned a custom furniture & millwork shop. He's a pretty blunt guy. He told me to quit playing around. If I really wanted to learn, I'd need to get a job in a real shop. I returned to Georgia, graduated from college and went to work in a high-end furniture shop here in Atlanta, which is now closed. It was an interesting experience - I learned as much about what not to do as what to do.
The quality of the furniture we produced was very high, but the business administration was, awful if I'm being honest. In progress. I am very busy making furniture. I'm resawing some 2 thick x 10' long walnut to reduce the amount I'll have to remove in the surface planer.

Use these table designs for inspiration, starting points, or as complete designs ready for custom dimensions, wood and finish.
Though TCF works in wood, we can make a wooden base or top and work with other fabricators to provide a steel base or stone top, for example.
Many more designs will be added.
The following design assistants will open in a new window so that you will not lose your place.
Please type the name of the design that most closely matches the table you'd like to have built.

I am proud to have been awarded the "Best of Houzz 2014 & 2015" badges for customer service, as well as the "influencer" and "recommended" badges, though I'm not exactly sure what those last two are.
