It takes a creative mind to tackle the various projects that come through our shop, working from a rotating stock of unique salvaged material where you never get the same thing twice. Each finished piece is truly one-of-a-kind, just like the folks that make them, and Parker Burrer is one of those guys!

While Parker makes some of the most inspiring tables, chairs, and doors you are likely to lay eyes on, he is also interested in anything else a customer might want to throw his way. In this case, he was approached by a commercial customer to build a one of a kind conference table for their office, and boy did he deliver!

The project starts with two matched live edge slabs of spalted pecan.

Spalted Pecan is not typically a commercially available wood. It comes from trees that have fallen in storms, that have been cut as non-producing trees in pecan orchards, or that have been cut because of road or building construction. This wood is rare. Which makes owning a beautifully crafted piece like this a treasure.

Parker takes great care using precise measurements to match the slabs.

Joining two large live edge slabs can be tedious work and usually requires at least two sets of hands. The crew usually works together to put the slabs together.

Fast forward a few weeks and you can see the amazing transformation these two live edge spalted pecan slabs have made! Parker decided on a “rustic meets modern” look by adding hand crafted metal legs. The result is simply beautiful.
