Six Sided Mid Century Dining Table
This table started with a client who had seen a table on a popular television show set in the 1950s. It was six sided and very mid century in style. The client loved the shape but wanted an updated, more organic feel to their table. This table features a central leaf that rides upon 3 pieces of metal rails with a 60 degree bevel cut to match the bevel of the table edge. The table top is 1.625 inches solid walnut with a sculpted, cut back edge which tapers to a 1/4 inch reveal. The top features a grain through construction to appear as one solid piece despite the centre opening. The legs are solid wood and elegantly tapered and are connected to the centre stretcher rails via mortise and tenon joinery. Absolutely elegant from every angle.
This table can be constructed in a myriad of ways using any wood and can range in length from 6 foot to 10 foot in length and 32 inches to 48 inches in width. Prices vary from $2,800 to $8,500 depending on options selected.
As Built: Premium walnut, 84 inches long, 40 inches wide tapering to 24 inches wide at ends and 31 inches tall with a 22 inch leaf. Finished with 5 coats of premium vinyl based, post catalyzed 3 part sealer and top coat. $6,400.

I was watching a show on TV and I saw this awesome mid-century dining table. I looked everywhere and couldn't find anything like it. I showed Parker a picture of this and he custom designed the perfect table in a matter of minutes! Since it's a 6 sided table, he did a template of the size of it in cardboard so we could determine the exact dimensions that we needed. The finished product is nothing short of spectacular! Solid walnut and extendable with a 2 foot leaf to make it an even more usable. The second picture I posted is the bottom of the table. The craftsmanship on even the details that aren't seen is amazing! The entire table is like a work of art. I'm now trying to think of other furniture for Parker Thomas to make!
