Talmadge Table and Benches

The client wanted a table for an annual Friendsgiving that would seat many and exclude none. In its first use, this table sat 10 comfortably.

Made from minimally manipulated barn wood from Upstate New York, the Talmadge table is about the imperfections and character the wood gained over time. We kept the cupping of one slab and used it as a bench to cradle the seated. We kept the weathered finish and stains. This table is meant to be used. It’s meant to be ate on, spilled on, and worked on.
