Shaker Style Kitchen Table
This Shaker style dining table was built for a customer in DC who was looking for a smaller custom table for her
apartment. The table top was constructed from a two board matched set of highly figured curly cherry with
breadboard ends and a shaker edge profile. The size of the table was approximately 30" wide x 48" long -
providing seating for up to 4 people. This size would also be useful as a kitchen work table or a desk. The base of
the table was built from solid curly cherry in the shaker style with tapered legs and pinned mortise and tenon
joinery.
The table size, style, wood selection, and coloring can be customized to suit the customer's requirements.
