The Longs just got through building their beautiful new home in Auburn. A large Red Oak tree had to be removed because it was growing exactly where the dining room was to be located. They asked us to build a table from the logs, and of course we were excited to do so. They chose one of our most popular designs and a stain color from New Look Decorating. They also chose to leave the live edges on the outside.

We can’t wait to move it into its new home!

Just ask us. We can build it!

We installed over 60 feet of live edge Hickory bar top at Wind Creek Montgomery’s new area they are set to open soon. The bar top is 30” wide and the lumber came from trees off Old Selma Road that had to be cut down at a farm.

We also provided 13 table tops which they attached to metal bases.

We always told our boys to “do hard things”, and we try to live up to that ourselves. This one was not easy, but we have a great team and so many resources!

While we were installing it today it was so much fun seeing the reaction from patrons and the hearing the compliments.

We love what we do! Now it’s back to building furniture!

Lately I’ve had to channel my inner “Dwight Shrute”. (If you’re not a fan of “The Office” that means it’s me against the robots). We are getting more and more AI photos for inspiration pieces to copy. We don’t mind. We love a challenge!

This customer didn’t want mullions on the glass doors, and picked her hardware, contours, etc. We think SHE beat the robots!

When we were carrying the finished piece into the showroom, we were amazed at the beauty of the Walnut. It made me think what a wonderful God we have! He could have said “let there be a tree”, without any variation. Instead, He gave us about 73,000 species, all a little different and beautiful in their own way!

We are Longleaf Wood Shop and Gallery. We build furniture.

Have a great weekend and we appreciate you!

There’s “custom” and there’s CUSTOM! CUSTOM (what we have the privilege of doing), is giving our CUSTOMers the exact piece for their space.

The Kyzers needed a small table to fit in their Auburn home, with an existing built in banquette. They gave me a photo of an inspiration piece from an online store.

The Sextons wanted to extend their island at their Lake Martin home, and chose a stacked pedestal base.

Both CUSTOMers chose Ambrosia Maple, and got special stain colors from Katie and the guys at New Look Decorating on Atlanta Highway.

We are so thankful for our friends who trust us to make their spaces truly special.

Date Night/Christmas Events Update:

We have received sooo many emails and calls about our date night events. Neill and I love these events and getting to meet new people (and repeat attendees:)) and share part of our world of creating.

Unfortunately we have been unable to keep doing them at the pace we were due to our awesome clients and their custom furniture orders!! We have so much respect for when a deposit is put down for their piece that we have to focus on building their vision.

With all that said we are going to have a date night event January 15. I will post it the week of Thanksgiving. So check your calendars and hopefully we will see you in the shop!

Christmas parties have always been so much fun! We will have limited Saturdays open and will schedule up to 3 events. It is a minimum of 18 people. Please email us at [email protected] for more information if you are interested.

Stay safe everybody & hope to see you soon:)!

I was so ready to give up on getting this slab together. But she just kept working with me and calmly telling me to “lift there”, “push down on that side”, and “it’s getting there”. Could not do it without her.

These Hickory slabs are going to a bar top soon. HUGE!

We finished a large White Oak table in one of the most beautiful homes we’ve seen, in downtown Wetumpka. You can see in the photo the Pecky Cypress island and hand scraped Hickory floors. We also contributed butcher block Walnut countertops in the pantry and coffee bar, and a White Oak mantle over the large fireplace.

We also delivered a large Maple table to Grace Presbyterian Church, in Montgomery. The design was perfect for a conference table.

Have a great weekend from us at Longleaf Wood Shop!

Lorie lives in Mobile and heard about us through friends. She needed a large, square table to fit her space, and another table maker in Mobile told her they only do rectangle or round tables 🤔.

She sent us dimensions and via text messages, we worked through design, lumber type, and stain colors. We finished the top initially with a Dark Walnut, but we didn’t think there was enough contrast with the Onyx legs. We sanded it down and used an Old Masters gel stain that we had never used before and the results were amazing! She was thrilled with the table and is already thinking of her next piece for us to build!

Like Lorie, you can design your table from wherever, and don’t need to come into the showroom. But we are always happy to work with our customers and show them lumber types, bases, stain samples, and everything else that makes a table a custom table!

This is a nerdy woodworking post. This week we have been working with some unique wood to build a round dining table, a mantle, and a bench top for an upcoming wedding.

The dining table is made of Ambrosia Maple, which is one of our most chosen lumber types. Some people call it “Wormy Maple”, but the small holes and character is caused by the Ambrosia Beetles, who make their home in the wood. We only use furniture grade, kiln dried lumber, which makes certain there is nothing creeping around in the wood!

The mantle is made from Cypress that we put under tin for several months. We sort of cook it, to get the rot that is so beautiful. We have made many mantles with this faux Pecky Cypress. We bevel each piece and even the ends so that the mantles appear to be a large beam, even though the lumber is only about an inch thick.

The bench top is Hickory that we milled. We let the logs sit on the ground for a few months, which gives it the character not found in commercial Hickory lumber.

So there you go! If you read through this, we hope you learned something new! We love what we do!
