This is a table that I made for a couple who came to me with an door that they had picked up at an antique store. I fashioned the base for them out of antique white oak that was salvaged from beam material in a Pennsylvania barn that was built in the early 1800’s. Counting the rings in the beams led me to believe that the oak tree was 130-150 years old. That means that the acorn that grew it dropped about the time of the first settlers. Interesting I thought. The wood still shows some stains from old nails and screws here and there that spent time in the wood.
I though the table had a kind of asian quality and the door brought in some rustic farmhouse Sundance kind of energy so I called it Farmhouse Zen. The plugs are ebony over some hefty bolts and I fumed oak for the first time on this project.
Sorry about the mediocre pictures, I gave the table to them before I got any decent shots.

I dig the use of old material. It appeals to my 3 R’s mentality. And nice execution too.
