Bufad- This is a new restaurant that i designed and built tables for here in Philly on the corner of 13th and Spring Garden. They are made from beautifully figured and spalted Sugar Maple with an Oxidized treatment. Each top is one slab cut into 3 pieces. There is a removable center leaf so it is versitile for such a small space. I.E: 2- 2tops or up to a 6 top. The bases are powder coated steel I-beam.
Not pictured is the natural edge bar with the same finish. i also made the door handles and serving boards for the restaurant. I’m super proud of the way this place looks and stoked to collaborate with my best good bud Mike Ski on the interior. It helps that the food is pretty stellar to boot.

Drafting table on a vintage cast iron base. I counted 101 growth rings from the center but the sawyer said this slab was about 30 feet from the ground when it was cut. It’s old.
