SUMMARY

This was one of the most memorable and unique projects we’ve had the pleasure of working on, with an idea that evolved over 4 years in the making. Our clients contacted us back in 2019, a year after they lost their home to the Woolsey fire, while they were amidst the challenging task of planning and rebuilding their home from the ground up and replacing everything they had lost. They dreamed of owning a slab dining table, and with the home’s new layout they would have an opportunity to design something unique to the space. They wanted to have a piece large enough that could host their large family, with the opportunity to add more seating for even larger gatherings. Since live edge slabs are not generally accepted as an ideal material for extension tables, we came up with a different concept that used one incredibly long, large slab split into 3 tables, in which one large table is used as the main dining table, and 2 offcuts from the ends are used in other areas of the home and pulled up to the main table for larger events. We worked very carefully to select the sections so that when pushed together, the live edges line up seamlessly, and the combination of the 3 tables allow the table to function for seating up to 20 people. 3 ‘Mini-Northstar’ pedestals were chosen by the clients to use for the bases, maximizing the available leg room under the table.

The slab we found was very special. At 216” long, it allowed us just enough material for the main dining table at 120”L which was cut from the center-most portion of the tree, leaving (2) 4-foot offcuts for the smaller tables. It was one of the most unique slabs we’ve ever worked with ~ a world record-breaking slab salvaged by Hunski Hardwoods, named the largest straight-cut claro walnut slab in the world IN 2018. You can read about it’s history in the following link: HUNSKI HARDWOODS. As a bonus, the wood had incredible character and was one of the most figured slabs we have ever worked with, almost entirely “clear” with few-to-no knots or inclusions.

ECO-FRIENDLY HARDWAX OIL FINISH    |  Our preferred finishing method and product, made from environmentally-friendly components for eco-conscious customers. Osmo Polyx Oil is derived from natural plant oils and waxes, providing a hard-wearing and protective surface that is resistant to common liquid spills. The finish maintains the natural look and feel of the wood, all while offering protection and durability. One major advantage of hardwax oil is that it’s incredibly easy to repair/maintain, and in the event that minor signs of use occur the finish can be spot repaired with no overlap marks. With Osmo's maintenance liquid wax cleaner it's simple and quick to bring the finish "back to life" (products can be found here: Osmo Liquid Wax Cleaner and here: Osmo Hardwax Oil Finish). To avoid minor signs of use, we recommend using coasters under serveware containing hot or cold liquids as well as cleaning up spills so as to not leave any moisture to set in over long periods that can cause spots or rings to occur to maintain the condition of the wood. We are ever-committed to reducing the amount of VOC (Volatile Organic Compounds) we emit during our production process for environmentally conscious reasons, and are also trying to reduce the amount of toxins that our crew is exposed to for health safety precautions. Additionally, the hardwax-oil is a rub-on application (vs. other harsher methods such as spray-on which causes the finish to become airborne), and can be continuously DIY applied to refresh the wood on your table.

Other wood finish options are available upon request including commercial grade finishes and outdoor finishes. Please use button link to review other wood finish options (pricing may vary).


Powder-coating allows us to achieve just about any color, matte or satin sheen. Powder-coating is a free-flowing dry powder that is applied electrostatically and is then cured under heat to allow it to form a hard finish that it tougher than conventional paint. It's used mainly for coating auto parts, bike parts and outdoor furniture which require super durable and water resistant finishes.

  • STOCK SOLID POWDER-COAT COLOR  |  Stock colors include satin black or matte black, silver, or dark bronze.
    COST : +$0 (stock colors included in pricing)

  • SPECIAL ORDER SOLID POWDER-COAT COLOR  |  We can also custom order a color specific for your project through Prismatic Powders (costs may vary: https://www.prismaticpowders.com/shop/powder-coating-colors)
    UPGRADE COST : estimating +$15 - $25

  • CLEAR POWDER-COAT  |  A clear powder-coat requires attention to prepping the natural steel to a smooth surface feel before proceeding to seal it with a satin-clear powder-coat. Using a transparent finish you to see through to the natural color of the steel while also providing protection from staining and rusting, and requires no upkeep. The steel is ground and polished and will remain natural and bright. Some “imperfections” will show through with this finish option, embracing the natural character of raw steel and can have a slight bronze hue from the powder baking process.
    UPGRADE COST: +$95 - $125

  • BLACK MAGIC PATINA + CLEAR POWDER-COAT | This finish is going to give off a more industrial look, bringing the color of the legs to a deeper/darker grey. Several hand-rubbed coats are applied to the steel legs, allowing drying times between and repeating the application several times until the desired color is reached. This process combines the patina and clear coat for maintenance-free durability. Some “imperfections” will show through with this finish option, embracing the natural character of raw steel and can have a slight bronze hue from the powder baking process.
    UPGRADE COST : +$125 - $150

For use as a dining or kitchen table, bar or conference table: If you are unsure of the exact dimensions your needs require, please consider the following basic guidelines:

  • Provide each guest a minimum of 24” of personal space at the dining table (chairs range from apprx. 16-20" and require space on each side to allow guests to seat comfortably).

  • Add an extra 12 inches of length to the table at each end for those seated at the head and foot of the table for personal legroom.

  • Allow for at least 36 inches between the dining table and any walls or other furniture.

  • Keep the table legs/base in mind, whether they may impede seating or leg room or not on the sides of the table. If the legs prohibit a person from sitting right in front of them, subtract the dimensions of the leg from the overall length of the table side to determine the available space for seating.
