This generous size Kitchen Island has a solid oak top, finished only with special food-safe wood oil. The drawers are genuine vintage Del Monte fruit crates from San Francisco, and are mounted on waxed hardwood slides so they work like fine-furniture drawers. The drawers have new birch-veneer bottoms. The open center section has oak slats so you can slide heavy skillets or other cookware in without damaging the shelf. The large, open bottom shelf is finished in four coats of high-grade marine spar varnish, making it a durable and waterproof surface. You can cut, chop and slice on this counter top to your heart's content and the more you do, the more “patina” it will develop. Re-oiling from time to time keeps it waterproof and looking good. There's a bottle of the special oil included.

The frame, crafted of fir and oak, compliments the top with a vintage look, and the table, like all Pandanus Designs one-of-a-kind pieces, is built to high furniture-building standards. The drawers function smoothly and this table will last for generations. Called a “sofa table,” it is designed to be used behind a sofa, or as an accent piece against a wall. The dimensions: 42” wide, 36” high to the table surface, and about 13” deep. |

Have you ever seen a table made from the wood of
an olive tree? This one features a top made from a slab cut from
an ancient olive tree. The natural edge, complete with a dramatic
knot/grain on one end, make for a spectacular table top. The
top is finished in multiple coats of hand-rubbed marine spar
varnish, one of the most durable finished possible for a table.

This table is crafted of 50-year-old, 2" thick planks of nutmeg! The planks are from a stack that has been stores in a Willits, Califonia barn for over 50 years. The top surface of the table still shows the ancient sawmill marks, yet the surface is silky-smooth to the touch. The planks are all edge-machined and then connected to each other with full-length glued-in splines, making for the most stable and durable surface possible. It will never crack, split or warp. This one-of-a-kind table was carefully designed and crafted to incorporate the "flaws" in the wood into the overall presentation, making for a unique look and a piece of furniture built to last for generations.

A gorgeous 52" round pedestal table built of 50-year-old nutmeg planks found in an old barn in Willits, CA. The over-two-inch-thick planks were each edge-machined and then all were connected with hardwood splines and industrial glue. The machine marks from the ancient saw that cut these planks from the trees are still visible, yet the multi-coat marine varnish finish is silky smooth to the touch. The iron straps let into the surface are bolted through the table with brass screws into a welded steel sturcture underneath that supports the table. The large, fluted, circa-1950, heavy cast-iron base sets off the table beautifully. This table is weatherproof and suitable for outdoor and/or commercial use. It will never crack, warp or split, and the surface is immune to water and alcohol. This one-of-a-kind table was built to last for generations! ___________________________SOLD |

This table set is crafted of 50-year-old, 2" thick planks of nutmeg! This wood has an uncommonly rich color and still shows the ancient sawmill marks. The stool are mounted on '50's era soda-fountain stool pedestals and the table features welded iron legs and end-caps. The whimsical nature of the diagonal cuts of the planks adds much to the charm of this one-of-a-kind set. The stools swivel and the whole set is about 4" higher than standard table height. _________SOLD |

An eight drawer chest built to order for a client. The frame is welded iron and all the wood that shows is cedar. The drawer fronts and sides have that desirable "reclaimed" look, with saw marks showing, but under a smooth finish of many coats of varnish. The top is crafted of several thick planks glued and splined together into a solid piece. The finish is smooth, with mulitple coats of marine spar varnish. Per the clients direction, the cabinet has casters at one end and welded iron legs at the other. The drawers are all built of lacquered Baltic birch plywood and run on roller slides. __________SOLD |

This lovely, organic table lamp was inspired by an old piece of redwood-root diftwood from the beach near Jenner, CA. The center is an ancient gas burner with the inscription, "Ajax Boiler" still clearly visible. The base is a block from a 50-year-old piece of nutmeg wood, still showing the marks from the giant sawmill that carved the plank from its tree. The lamp stands about 16" high. The cord exits the base in such a way that it can come out of any side, making placement more flexible. |
 |
 |
The bulb is a retro-vintage low-wattage lamp that projects a very peaceful, low-key ambiance. The switch is mounted in a vintage cast-iron rosette, and both ends of the base feature iron end caps. Truly on-of-a-kind, and signed by the artist. |
 |
 |
Another whimsical creation that started life as discarded objects. The retro-vintage bulb sits in the top of an ancient gas-burner from the Ajax Boiler Company. The three-legged cast iron base used to be the support that mounted a heavy wooden table to its base. One of the original four legs is missing! The frame for the mission-style stained-glass panels was made from scraps of brass tubing, and the steel uprights that support the brass frame are from scraps of square-steel tubing. The uprights have solid brass caps brazed into their ends. The wooden base is crafted from two pieces of nutmeg plank, splined together into a solid piece. The nutmeg planks were found in an old barn where |
 |
 |
they had been stacked for over 50 years. The saw marks are still there from the old giant saw that cut the planks from trees. The bolt you can see in the top of the wooden base is the rotary control for the dimmer! As in most of our table lamps, the cord comes out of the base in such a way that it can exit from any direction, making placement of the lame easier. The lamp stands about 20" high, and is signed by the artist. |

The newly completed desk,
still in the shop. |
This small rolling Computer Rack was built to match the L-Shaped Desk in design and materials. It has a welded steel frame and wooden side and inner panels, and was designed to handle any size computer CPU plus your modem and router and any other peripherals needed for your workspace. There are cable holes everywhere for easy routing of wires and cables. This unit was designed to roll under the L-SHAPED DESK, but could as well be a stand-alone unit because the top is attractively finished, as well. ____ _____SOLD |

These tables were crafted from recycled deck planks. The planks were used upside down so the joist stains became the surface pattern. Each plank was edge-machined and splined to the adjacent one, making an extremely durable table top. The finish is 4 coats of marine spar varnish for a silky smooth surface that is impervious to water and alcohol. The retro-industrial look is enhanced by the welded iron edge trim. There are two 36" tables (left) and one smaller two-person table. All are suitable for outdoor and/or commercial use. |

This lovely vintage pine Drop-Leaf Table was salvaged and restored to keep its vintage ambiance. The top is finished in satin marine Spar Varnish so is impervious to water and most other stains. The legs and cross-braces have been fitted with iron for added strength and appearance, and the vintage steel top-corners finish the look. The table is 36” square with the leaves up, 18” wide with them down. |

Need a table strong enough that you can park your truck on it? You found it! This furniture doesn't just give the appearance of being solid and well-built; it is. The metal of each cabinet is industrial steel and cast iron. In these two pieces all of the wood (except for the hardwood drawer slides) is kiln-dried cedar, some new and some reclaimed. The tops are finished with at least four coats of Marine Spar Varnish over a worn-but-silky-smooth surface, making for a top that will survive moisture, alcohol and most other abuse. No need for coasters under your drinks here! The frame is finished to "weathered wood" and the top retains the warm, rich glow that only cedar can offer. This coffee table is heavy, so the wheels are more than ornamental! The dimensions: 56" long, 23 3/4" wide, and 18 1/2" high. |
 |
The drawers are special in more ways than one! They will open from either side of the table, or if desired, a flick of a lever underneath will change them to open from one side only. The drawers have their original inside side-and-end surfaces and new easy-to-clean bottoms. The drawers are finished inside and out with a high-performance satin-finish Polycrylic Varnish. |

Dimensions: 24" wide, 20" deep, and 29 1/2" high. |

The request was for a porch swing that had to be "curvy," as opposed to the more commonly seen swings with all straight lines. We built this one from Sipo Mahogany. This wood is very dense and structurally stable so is ideally suited for a piece like this with the long slats. It is finished in multiple coats of Sikkens Cetol, a product that is able to withstand all sorts of weather conditions for many years. It will hang from chains attached to the stainless eyebolts seen at left. |  |
 |
At left is a photo of one of the three supports. You can see the dowelled lap joints that are assembled with exoxy for ultimate durability. At right, you can see how each slat is secured with three screws and then each screw hole is fitted with a grain-matched mahogany plug, sanded smooth to the surface. This is one of those treasures that will get handed down through the generations! |

At left is the original sliding glass door. It was 6' wide and had a lot of unsightly metal framework in the opening whether the door was open or closed. The home owner wanted to have the entire space open to be able to fully enjoy the gorgeous view outside. We designed and built this new door and screen (at right) to make it happen. The intent was that when open, the entire space would be visually unobstructed, and even when closed, there would be only the elegant wood frame of the new door visible. Both doors hang from high-quality roller tracks and operate very easily. This door is fitted with 1/4" thick laminiated safety glass. It is VERY heavy! |  |
 |
tAt left is the view from inside with the new door in place. The wood is vertical-grain Douglas fir and the trim is African mahogay. The finger pull (at right) incorporated into the mahogany trim is typical of the attention to detail on this project. We can design and build you a door to fit any space or purpose.
