Cherry, hand-planed top, breadboard ends
Sarah and Mark were rebuilding their farmhouse kitchen and needed a table to anchor it. We picked the cherry together, talked about how big the family was going to get, and I built a piece that could handle a generation of meals.
The top is single-board cherry, hand-planed, with breadboard ends to keep it flat through Vermont winters. Legs are mortise-and-tenon, not glued blocks. The whole thing was designed to be moved when they refinish the floor in twenty years.
It's the centerpiece of every family meal now, according to Sarah.
Tell me what you're thinking.
