Galehead Console Table

Curly Hickory Top | White Oak Base | Integrated Extension Storage | Oil Finish | Hand Scraped Surfaces | Boat Tail Top | Hand Formed Under Bevel

The top of the Galehead console table can be lifted to uncover storage space for the extension leaves, wedges, and custom mallet used with its matching dining table. The Galehead design offers a modern interpretation of traditional shaker proportions, aiming to blend elements of the modern American studio craft movement with the classic form without overshadowing its traditional roots.

Each detail of this table, from the hand-formed curves and surfaces to the legs' taper and shape, leads the eye to the arched skirts and boat-tail top with striking spokeshaved under bevel. The skilled craftsmanship is evident in the subtle imperfections and delightful texture of the surfaces, reminiscent of the finely crafted furniture of past eras that inspired this design.

These exquisite forms come together to enhance the natural beauty and unique character of the white oak used for the base and figured hickory used for the top. The finish consists of multiple meticulously applied coats of hand-rubbed oil, safeguarding and enhancing the wood's natural beauty while allowing its character to evolve and shine through generations of use.
