Happy Holidays everyone … I hope you all had a relaxing weekend … We’re working on a really big kitchen island … One of my guys jokes that it’s big enough to be called a continent … It’s 16′ x 4′ and is pretty much complete now except for the finishing which we may or may not do in house … This week coming up we will make up some distressed, dark, sample boards and, if they are approved, we’ll go at it in the New Year… It’s up on wheels now and is designed to break into three pieces for moving … The 3/4 turned quartered oak columns were a challenge as was finding the 16′ quartersawn oak for the long panel and the face board … Supporting the overhanging granite and keeping the 16′ face board straight was also an engineering challenge … To see more and bigger photos and read more about the construction of this project, visit our dorset custom furniure blog at this link

Best wishes to all for a healthy and prosperous new year … dan
