How a Tabletop is Made

Each of our tabletops are hand-made and custom-created for every client. From raw lumber to a finished table ready for your dinner rush, each is made with a dedication to the details and a love for the craft. Read on to learn the process.

With the capability to produce over 400 tops a day, our Wood Shop team is an incredible group of hardworking individuals who exemplify the values and grit of Crow Works.
