Steel and Oak Coffee Table

Project type

Commission

Date

5/2022

Location

Portland, Oregon

The creation of the Steel and Oak coffee table was born out of a unique necessity. I found myself collaborating with a client who had a specific vision: to incorporate their own reclaimed lumber from a local bar into a custom dining table and a complementary coffee table. However, a significant obstacle presented itself when a section of the supplied wood was marred by stubborn stains, carrying an enigmatic oily residue of unknown origins.

Rather than disappoint the client and deprive them of their desired coffee table, I made a resolute decision to go above and beyond. Demonstrating my unwavering commitment to their satisfaction, I took it upon myself to provide a solution. Drawing from my personal collection of materials, I selected a remarkable slab that would serve as the foundation for their coffee table, all without imposing any additional charges.

This act of resourcefulness ensured that the client's expectations were not only met but exceeded. By utilizing my own resources, I was able to deliver a coffee table of exceptional quality, despite the complications encountered with the originally supplied lumber. This endeavor epitomizes my dedication to customer service and my commitment to crafting extraordinary pieces.
