Handmade Tables
Limited Edition Lines: Coffee Tables | Console Tables | Dining Tables | End Tables
Salvaging Creativity collects natural and manmade objects for the unique characteristics they display. Deconstructed and reworked, these pieces make their way into bases, supports, and decorative elements of handmade furniture. We build our tables in amounts limited by the availability of found material. In some cases, this results in only a single piece, in others, enough material is sourced to produce a limited number of similar pieces. The custom tables on this page represent these limited production lines.
The Minn-5 Coffee Table
The feet of this table are made from pulleys that turned belts for a 1920's drill press. Often ornately cast, the pulleys were stepped to adjust speeds. We've finished these elements with black lacquer and paired them with a thick, natural edge walnut top. Voids in the walnut slab are filled with clear resin and polished flat to the table top. (80" x 19.5' x 18" H)

Some other things to know
Photos are representative of the quality and style of work available, but each piece is dictated by the limited availability and unique characteristics of material. This means there may some subtle variations between your piece and the one in the photo on our website. Markings or signs of material ware from an object's former life are a few examples that may be different from piece to piece. That's what makes each table one of a kind. Measurements and finish styles will be the same as what you see in our photos and descriptions. If this makes you a bit uneasy, a custom order may be the best route for you.
