My Story

At my workshop in Liverpool I produce, to individual specification, hand crafted wooden coffee tables in selected prime European oak along with other hardwoods.
Each coffee table is always to my original design, fashioned with traditional mortise and tenon joints, and it is signed and dated on the underside.

They've been hand finished in shellac and antique wax or with a water based lacquer.

On this web site you will discover types of coffee tables in English oak with tops made of selected quarter sawn timber which includes beautiful silver figure where the medullary rays appear at first glance for the planks.

Also featured are American white oak coffee tables. Due to the fact planks with this timber that are imported to Britain are rarely quarter sawn the emphasis is more to complete utilizing the attractive grain.

There's also several European oak coffee tables from a range of countries in Europe, some of that have drawers and shelves underneath for added storage. If you should be looking for a coffee table with a rich mellow finish, American red cherry is a great choice offering a natural warm finish.

One of the most popular alternatives for modern style coffee tables is American hard maple as it's an extremely light colored wood and you'll find some examples on these pages, but a contemporary coffee table in oak or beech can look just as stylish. I make coffee tables in traditional styles with hand turned legs which compliment rooms in older properties, and in addition in contemporary and modern styles to accommodate contemporary surroundings.

I also design my personal completely original varieties of coffee tables. Beech, a much underrated wood, which includes a wonderful flecked figure when you look at the quarter sawn planks, is just one timber worth taking into consideration if you're searching for a coffee table in a light wood.

American white ash is yet another light shaded wood, although the heartwood can start around brown to green or red which to my mind helps it be a great timber to use for the kids furniture.
