Shaker Style Dining Table
This Shaker style dining table was built for a couple in Pennsylvania who had been looking for a high quality
custom dining table for several years. The table top was constructed from a three board matched set of highly
figured curly cherry with breadboard ends and a shaker edge profile. This table also features two removable 16"
company boards on each end to extend seating area. The base of the table was built from solid 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.
