MESSAGE FROM THE FOUNDER~ Tom Von Fange

For over twenty-five years, Antique Tables Made Daily has been satisfying the need for quality antique farm table look-a-likes. Original farm tables were often too short for chairs, or just too worn out after years of use. At Antique Tables Made Daily, we carefully recreate the look, sturdiness, and feel of early farm tables. I personally select kiln-dried lumber here in the Blue Ridge Mountains and oversee every grain match. Table surfaces are hand-planed to provide an authentic hundred-year-old look and feel. Table tops are dowelled with wooden pegs. All legs are pegged and joined to the frame. Your finished product will be branded and signed by one craftsman. We want to be sure your table is built with quality and made to meet your specifications.
