our process is very intricate. each board is glued and multiple wood biscuits are placed every 8”. our boards are all professional milled. we support our local mill shop and they plane and joint each piece for ultimate smoothness and alignment. once we assemble the table our wood is conditioned and a stain or paint is carefully applied. after cured we apply a seal and finish that is sanded in between each coat. you will never have to worry about a water or heat ring on a table from us. we guarantee this! we build to last a generation and not just a short sale.
