Hudson Valley Farm Table
This cherry farm table was designed for a customer living in the Hudson River Valley of New York. She wanted a
custom table to match their set of dining room chairs. The table was constructed from solid cherry with turned
legs and breadboard ends. The overall size of this table was 90" x 42" to provide comfortable seating for 8 - 10
people. To ensure accurate period construction and details, the top of this table was built from a three board
matched set (three boards cut sequentially from the same log for excellent color and grain matching). This
represents a significant difference from readily available tables - the boards in this top were 12 - 14" wide on
average with beautiful coloring and grain patterns.
The table size, style, wood selection, and coloring can be customized to suit the customer's requirements.
