People propose marriage at them, make love on them, share everything from harsh truths to funny stories and day-to-day ordeals at them. People scream violently at them, make up at them and read everything from newspapers to bibles at them. Several generations of a family’s history are often etched into the patina of an old table. I often look at a table and wonder what stories it would tell if it could.

I offer the full range of finishes – from conceptually correct but delicate shellac french polish to tough and heatproof 2 pak coatings in matt satin or gloss for hospitality or household dining tables.
