The birth of a custom kitchen table

I recently acquired this french country armoire from the 1850s. Since flat panel TVs killed the popularity of armoires I thought I would reuse the pieces to make a bar or something. But this thing is an unbelievable piece of craftsmanship. The hand work is crazy good. 170 years ago someone built this to come apart modularly to move easily. It still works. Just pegs no screws! I don't have the heart to alter it. Anyone out there interested in this thing?

The latest custom piece done. 36x36x36 bistro table. Reclaimed top and iron pipe understructure. I know my shadow is in the shot but the light was better:-)

Just finished this barn wood fireplace surround and mantle. Anybody need some remodeling?

Just finished this XL Green egg table. Its 100% Cedar and has 8 inch cast iron wheels. Not one structural screw shows! Turned out pretty cool I think!
