Hand-Crafted from California Black Walnut and leathered Black Granite, The Austin Coffee Table No. 2 is an exploration between media and form: a table carefully designed to be uncompromisingly simple and honest in the interaction between its materials. The result is a table of beauty; a balance between geometric shapes and the organic lines which divide them. Created by 25-year-old Drake Stuedemann.

The creation of this console table stems from the desire to repurpose lumber and timber. The materials used for this project were all sourced from Trumbull County in Ohio, specifically Warren Ohio. The console table top is made from 2" x12" red oak beams that were formally structural supports in a railroad station. This material had several large voids after the milling process, so black epoxy was used to fill these voids. The three legs that hold the top at the perfect height were formally 6" x6" barn beams. Inspired by the joinery typically seen in barn beams, a dado was cut into each beam to represent a mortise and tenon joint. Finished with several coats of polyurethane, this console table stands out in any room it sits in." Created by 24-year-old Ben Meardith.
"The table I made is an original design made completely from walnut and maple wood. It features hand-done carvings made from both maple and walnut. The legs are walnut with inlaid maple and a round maple center. The top is made from solid Walnut and Maple wood and the entire project was sanded and finished with pumice and Rottenstone giving it a smooth as glass finish." Created by 18-year-old Jacob Barfield.

"I made an acoustic Parlor guitar which was my first guitar ever made and it certainly won't be the last. I made it for one of my best friends as a personal wedding present to him. The guitar is primarily made out of African mahogany, East Indian rosewood for the binding and fretboard, Sitka spruce for the bracing inside the guitar, and the finish is satin lacquer. It took months of research, learning in the ins and outs of guitar building which became a borderline obsession." Created by 29-year-old Bart Leasure.
"I used to large ash slabs that ended up being 8/4 thick after milling. The table is 60" in diameter. For the center, I used West Systems' special clear epoxy with a blue tint. The base I sourced a wine barrel from Napa valley since it was for a wine tasting room." Created by 27-year-old Troy Callaway.
"I inherited this boat and it was all rotted and broken. I did the complete rebuild myself and it took two years to do. I replaced the frame, bottom, and sides. I documented the entire build.
