Reclaimed Wood Dining Table
CustomMade by Marty Poirier
Seating for 12, this 92" dining table is made entirely from reclaimed white oak. Rescued from a barn built in the late 1800's it's life as a floor had all but diminished. After a light run through the surface planer, jointing and glue up with splines, the top was cut out using a large trammel and
… router. The table required the use of 1/4" steel angle iron embedded in oak to keep it from flexing on the single pedestal. The edge is treated with a 1" ring of the same oak matching the above grain to maintain a cohesive look, making the top appear to be 2".
The larger imperfections (surprisingly very few) were filled with clear epoxy before the final finish of almost 2 quarts of clear, satin polyurethane.
The next step is a 48" lazy susan and 12 craftsman style chairs.

dining room table
by Sue Bowker Apr 26th 2013
We ordered a custom dining room table from Marty. He worked with us on design, taking our ideas and adding his own. He found old wood for the project and sent us a pix of the building it came from- lots of fun to see. He delivered exactly on time. The table has a beautiful patina and is well made, well proportioned and well designed. We love it. The only problem we had was that the leaves he delivered with the table were slightly too small. When we complained, he immediately took the leaves back and agree to re-make them at no additional cost. Haven't seen them yet, but my guess is that they will be perfect.

TV stand
by Jon Apr 16th 2013
Marty produced exactly what I was looking for. He meshed my functional requirements perfectly with my style rerequirements and produced a TV stand and AV component system that was not available on the market and did it at a price well below what you would pay for smaller less capable units. Marty stayed connected throughout the design and build process. He provided me with timely information and options when decision points arose. On top of all that he delivered it to my living room free of charge.

Marty was fabulous to work with -- he really collaborated with me to create a design that was just my style even though I didn't come in with one in mind. Craftsmanship is very high quality. I couldn't be happier with how it turned out! A few photos attached. Highly recommend working with him!!
