After patiently waiting more than 12 months for artisan Ken Kirschner to be available to make our dream table, the time has come to assemble the finished pieces.  The top is made of a single waterfall bubinga slab which measures 12 feet long, 49 inches wide and 1 1/2 inches thick. It weighs well over 500 pounds.  Ken decided to finish the top at our warehouse as it was just to big to move more than once!

Assembly of the table base

First the Ken assembled the base in the dining room prior to bringing in the top.  He had coded all the pieces with a number so putting the pieces together was fairly easy.

Now it was time to bring in the top…

The Waterfall Bubinga top was too big to come in the front door so we went around to the back deck and came in through the back of the house…

The finished product

We got our chairs a few weeks later, just in time for Thanksgiving! They are beautiful natural Hard Maple, made by Fancher Chair Company for Knoll. They are a design by Linda and Joseph Ricchio.

So nice to have room for the whole family…Happy Holidays to all!

Happy Holidays from the whole gang!
