There’s something truly fulfilling about taking someone’s dream and turning it into reality, especially when it involves the kind of craftsmanship we love. Recently, we had the privilege of working on a custom project where a customer shared her vision of a stunning pedestal-style table featuring two English Walnut sister slabs. What followed was a creative collaboration that turned her dream into a beautiful piece of furniture.

Customer Inspired Project…

Here is the photo our customer provided us with. Her dream was to replicate the pedestal style to an  exact-o! For the table top, instead of planking as the photo shows, using two English Walnut sister slabs with a straight edge. How completely stunning?!

We had these two English Walnut sister slabs in stock at our Erben Designs workshop. This is how they appeared when chosen for the table. Raw, live-edge, and almost exactly alike.
