Turned Leg Country Table
This cherry farm table was designed for a customer who wanted a well-built 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 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.
