Custom Wood Bases

We offer custom handcrafted wooden table bases of various designs. Have a slab you’d love to make into a table of your own? I can create the perfect wood base for it to highlight its natural beauty and provide a sturdy, attractive foundation.

Things to consider when building or designing table bases include the following:

What type of table will it be: for example, is it an entryway, dining, coffee, side, or conference table, or a desk?
How heavy or dense will the table top be?
What joint method or hardware will be needed for greatest strength?
What will the general height measures be? The best size depends on what type of table it is and what functionality is desired.
How wide will the table top be? We need to determine this measurement in order to figure out the footprint of the base needed for optimal stability. (For example: a table top 30” in width would be best suited to have a table base a few inches more narrow in footprint.)
What will the total length of the table be? Do we possibly need to add center supports for added rigidity?
Will any table aprons or thicker table leg materials be required?
Will we incorporate slotted holes in the base for seasonal wood movement? (The answer is usually “yes.”)
Will the table need adjustable leveling feet? This depends on the floor surface and table placement.
How thick will the table top be? This will directly impact the table base height required.
