"The Gingerbread Story" - Entry Way Table
$13,500.00

Custom handmade entry way table made of reclaimed hardwoods (Mix of white oak, cherry drawer outer trim, burl rainbow poplar - legs, hard maple, and red oak), dimensions roughly 32" long x 18" wide x 32" tall. Being reclaimed wood (you can see before photo) and to create a more rustic atmosphere to the furniture piece, features of old reused lumber such as nail holes and other characteristics of reused wood have been retained and reinforced from inside out with epoxy base fill. If you wish to use new milled lumber for a "new wood/perfect" presentation, please see notes 2 & 3 below concerning wood species and reclaimed vs. new milled wood selection. Table made with craft joinery mortise, tenon, compound dovetail, and hidden interlocking drawer alignment dovetail cleats to provide a robust crafted heirloom piece that can be passed down unlimited generations. Top is inlay inset with locked breadboard end banding all 4 sides to eliminate warping/splitting over years, but to allow for any wood movement due to environment/humidity changes, and has inlay custom cut tempered glass. This furniture piece is made in my shop by me, +40 years of master artisan wood working and carpentry experience. Company, Tiny Texas Wood Works & Machine, LLC. ™ , based in Houston, Texas. See notes below concerning order.

Note1 - this is a custom crafted piece and orders will be taken in advance of buildout. Please allow 3 - 4 months to receive product from purchase date (timing and price may vary depending on customer buildout requests, see note 2 below). Builds limited to 1 per year so quantities are limited.

Note2 - modifications to buildout to suit customer's needs can be done such as side heart/flower carvings alterations or removal of carvings "i.e. clean look", no inlay glass top (i.e. flat wood top), dimensions can be adjusted, wood species selection (see note 3 below), stain, final finish, drawer handles, etc. can be adjusted in addition to using new milled "perfect" lumber vs. reclaimed. A conversation will be set up between myself and customer to lay out the details of order preferences and final pricing prior to buildout. Weekly progress photos will be sent to customer in order to provide a history log of process steps, creation details, and to provide a high value customer experience. This will integrate the customer into the build process along the journey and provide additional historical memories to pass down to future generations. Note, removal of hand carvings and tempered glass will reduce overall cost of final project, can discuss further.

Note3 - If you wish to utilize reclaimed wood for a more "rustic feel", wood species may be limited to hardwoods such as various oak species, poplar, and in very rare cases cherry/maple. Reclaimed wood may vary far as origin (e.g. pallets, older used building lumber, etc.) and may vary in features (e.g. knots/wood shadings-coloring, nail holes, or other prior assembly characteristics). Again, this is prior used lumber and is more for rustic "artwork" appearance. If you wish to have a "perfect unblemished" furniture piece, you can elect to go with new milled lumber of your choice with regards to wood species, can discuss further on final pricing.

Note4 - Handling and Freight and insurances are included in the pricing and shipping arrangements will be coordinated with buyer prior to shipment. US Lower 48 states only for shipping.

Note: Also included with table is a care kit, care kit instructions, and information on where to procure replacement care products. Care kit includes oil rub preservative custom made by me with paraffin oil/bees wax/carnauba wax/orange oil/jojoba oil to protect wood/hardware components, microfiber clothes, and glass cleaner/preservative. As a note, the largest killer of wooden/metal furniture piece creations is UV and environmental pollution breakdown over time. I include the kit above with instructions to protect against both of these contributors to furniture deterioration which can be applied to any other precious furniture pieces you may own or acquire in future.

About
our company

Hi there and thank you for viewing my products. My name is James and I run a small fine wood working shop (Tiny Texas WoodWorks & Machine, LLC) in Houston, Texas which also specializes in other machine development-restoration/metal fabrication. I have +40 years of experience in fine wood working (and carpentry) and also served a portion of this time as a machinist-fabrication/machinery developer. Being my first and always loved passion of woodworking, I follow seven generations of fine wood working craftsmen extending roots throughout Europe who have embraced this trade for a means of daily living (& joy) and I've had a hammer and chisel in my hand from early childhood to today. Along with my past time love, my “day job” as they say, I've worked 30 years in the nuclear, industrial, and petrochemical construction-engineering industry.

Anything wood, art, and machine (& science/advanced physics) are my passions of interest. My goal is to share my passion and a part time wood working trade with the community and bring to customers heirloom quality, crafted fine wood work products that can be passed down generations to come. I also want to provide a new experience to customers where you are part of the project with weekly communications, progress photos and discussion, and allow you to be part of the crafted project. I'd welcome you to journey with me and let's partner up to craft some fine wood working. Kind regards, James.

My roots as a child are from the backwoods of Buckhead, Georgia and the foothills of Appalachia where farming, hunting, and “limb hook”/”jug” cat fishing down a river that was stones throw from our small house in the woods were the daily past times…& let’s not leave out, wood working in our family cabinet/funiture shop with my dad and grand dad. I built below pieces, hope chest and fine china cabinet, at different stages of life (sorry these are the only remnants of old Kodak film back then), at ages 12 and 22 respectively, a decade apart!! We can build you anything, long as it’s made of wood and metal.
