Building wood dining room tables and chairs or recycling a wooden dining table is not just about piecing together planks; It's been a journey.
It was a journey of patience, skill, and love.
At Lumber Furniture, every wooden dining room table and chair that leaves our studio carries a story - a story that will be repeated in your home every time you gather around to eat, talk, or occasionally play a slightly competitive board game.
What's so special about custom wooden dining room tables and chairs?
Ah, the wooden dining table - the unsung hero of every home. Whether hosting a lavish Christmas feast or serving as a last-minute homework assignment, the dining table is the soul of the room.
But why settle for something generic when you can have a piece that reflects you?
Custom wooden dining room tables and chairs are more than just a place to eat. This is a statement. It's a family heirloom in the making. The grain of the wood, the craftsmanship behind the design - it's all a reflection of your life and your story.
From Christmas trees to custom wooden dining tables
There is an art to the process of creating custom wooden tables, especially recycled ones.
For wood furniture, we use sustainably sourced wood such as American white oak, black walnut, and Messmate. Each wood has its personality, just like us humans.
Wood comes to life in our factory, and is cut, shaped, and turned into a masterpiece by skilled workers. With recycled wood tables, the process is slightly more laborious.
You might think it's just wood, but in our eyes, it's potential. Knots, blemishes, and even changes in color all add to its unique charm.
The emotional roller coaster of handmade furniture
Every custom wood dining table starts with a conversation. Talk about your space, your needs, and sometimes even your dreams.
When our customers saw the assembled tables glistening under the soft lights of the showroom for the first time, they cried tears of joy.
Our client Alan is one such client. He and his wife, Cath, wanted a giant American black walnut dining table.
It eventually became a behemoth, made up of four lengths 400 millimeters wide, each telling its own story. They come to our factory, they watch the whole process, and when they see the final product, Cath calls it "functional art."
It's not just a table; This is your desk.
Customizing wooden dining tables is not like packing a flat piece of furniture. You were involved in the process from start to finish. You can choose wood, size, and even finish. You're part of a team.
Brendan and Laura have built a new home in Armadale and they came to us with a very specific vision.
They wanted an American oak Portofino dining table with a shaded line between the bottom and top.
We worked with them to get every detail just right, including the ladder frame, to add strength and beauty.
When they finally saw the finished table, their eyes lit up in that "oh wow, we did it" kind of way. It's moments like these that make our work so meaningful.
