Handmade Solid Oak Coffee Tables

Finest quality handmade occasional tables. Our designs can be adjusted to suit your individual requirements or alternatively we can custom-make a piece of furniture to your unique specifications in either a traditional or contemporary style. The tables are shown in English oak but we also offer a choice of other hardwoods.

Ammonia is used to fume the oak this process enhances the unique natural grain of the timber and allows us to achieve a choice of colour finishes from natural through medium to dark oak. You may choose between straighter grained timber or the beautiful patterns and knots found in "burr" and "pippy" oak (an additional charge is made for burr and pippy oak).

Knots are always present in timber, and are found where branches were once attached to the main trunk and boughs and then enveloped within the grain as the tree grows. When a board is cut vertically from a tree trunk, the knot will resemble a circle of darker wood within the grain. Each board is unique and the knots and grain patterns add character to the furniture.

Creating a honeycombed effect is a highly skilled technique called “adzing” and this can be requested as an optional extra finish to the cabinet tops or panels. Learn More about how we make our furniture.
