"From barn to table... nearly 100 years of family history, transformed."

While visiting my father in Ohio six years ago, he was clearing out the barn. Among the dust and memories were several beautiful Tiger maple boards—likely belonging to my grandfather and nearly a century old.

I brought some home with me, including four generous boards measuring 17" wide and 6.5' long. I didn’t know then what I would make, only that it would be something special.

Now, the table I dreamed of is finally becoming real. Crafted from those heirloom boards, it carries with it the spirit of the land and the hands that held it before mine.

I may never know which family farm these trees came from—but I like to imagine I once played on that land as a child, connected by roots I cannot see, but deeply feel.
