Arc Single Slab Dining Table

A single slab of 125-year-old claro walnut from California's Sacramento River Valley, paired with a black steel arc base — everything else on the piece exists to let that top speak.

Ten and a half feet long and four feet wide, the top is one continuous board rather than strips glued back together — the full width of the tree in one surface, its natural voids stabilized in black epoxy.
The slab is carried on a single black steel leg shaped into an arc. Where the wood is organic and irregular, the base is spare and exact — it carries the load without competing for attention.

The materials

Woods we build with.

Every piece is built from boards we select for you. These are the species we work in most, each sourced and chosen for its grain, width, and character.
Common questions

What clients ask before commissioning.

What is a single slab dining table?

A single slab table is cut from one continuous board rather than narrow strips milled and glued back together. You read the full width of the tree in one surface, with grain and figure that no glued-up top can reproduce.

Live edge or squared edges — which is better?

Both are available on every commission. A live edge preserves the natural outline of the tree for a more organic silhouette. Squared edges give the slab a clean, architectural line. The choice changes how formal the piece reads, and we guide it based on your room.

How much does a custom single slab dining table cost?

Commissions begin at $8,500, with final pricing determined by the slab — its species, length, width and figure — and the base design you choose.

What species do you work with?

Recent commissions include black walnut, claro walnut and monkeypod. The slab is selected with you, and we source specifically for what each commission calls for.

Can I see my slab before you build?

Yes. Every table begins with the board. We source slabs for your commission and show you the figure and the edges before the first cut. The workshop and showroom are open by appointment.

Is a single slab table durable enough for daily use?

Yes. Natural voids and fissures are stabilized with black epoxy, and the top is finished in either a 2K polyurethane spray finish for maximum durability or a hand-rubbed oil finish that can be renewed over time.

Can the table be built to a custom size?

Yes. Length, width and height are built to the dimensions of your room, limited only by the slabs on hand. Describe the room and the board will be found to fit it.

Do you deliver and install outside Chicago?

Yes. We build and ship nationwide with trusted white glove partners who deliver and set the piece in place.
