Distressed "Pine Farmhouse Table"
|
This is
our famous Vermont farmhouse table. Made from native eastern pine as well
as other hardwoods from here in Vermont. The legs are carefully turned on
our lathe one at a time by hand, using 4 1/2" thick stock, then are
joined to the table aprons using mortise and tenon jointery, glued and
pegged through the joint with white oak pins. This method is the strongest
and most time tested way of joining table legs. You will never find our
tables with a bolt or cheap metal bracket attaching our legs.
The tops of our pine farmhouse tables are carefully selected for grain pattern, width and as many knots as possible. After being glued, they are joined together at the ends using "bread board" or batten" ends. This method, while time consuming, controls the natural expansion and contraction over the seasons that wood endures, more so with wide boards. It is a form of mortise and tenon jointery using primarily hand tools to shape and fit so that the wood can move inside the mortises, pinned as always through the top with white oak pins. All of the surfaces are then hand planed, using antique tools just like they would have a century ago. Once the table construction is completed it is brought through a series of steps to distress and age the appearance. This process takes several days painstakingly done one step at a time to bring years of wear to your farmhouse table. Our aging process has taken years to perfect. You will not find a more authentic looking Vermont farmhouse table. |
