A client approached me to create a coffee table for his girlfriend as a surprise present. I milled up pieces from some of the reclaimed red oak barn beams I had in stock at my shop, and then assembled the base.

The finished table in it’s final home. The top is a piece of marble that has been passed down through the client’s girlfriend’s family for generations, and it pairs perfectly with the barn wood.

The barn beams this wood came from were 100-200 years old. Holes from the original draw-bore joints are visible in the piece as well as staining from the original iron cut nails.
