Well, you all have heard about the "Cobbler's kids not having shoes". How that should
really go is the "Woodworker's Mom not having a new table"! After years of wondering when her son would have
enough time to make her a harvest table for her dining room, Chris (Shawn's mom) has finally gotten hers. This salvaged
cypress table measures 7 1/2' long and 43" wide. The legs are hand-turned 6"x6" beams. The top
and aprons were made from 3" thick joists salvaged from a church built in the 1870's in Ft. Myers. The beams featured
"peg holes" which was how the original structure was constructed (you can still see these holes - now
filled - in the table's top). Click on the church photo at the bottom of the page for more history.
