Has anyone bought a table top from them (TableLegs.com "Classic Designs by
Mathew Burak" out in Vermont)? They make them to your specs and I am
interested in ordering a few... but I have not seen any reviews.
Cheers, Shawn
PS: Also any cabinet/woodworking shops in the SF bay area that could make
me a couple of maple tabletops (one for a counter and a couple for a desk)
at a reasonable price? They don't need to finish, just glue up and sand
flat. The national "custom wood counter" places seem to have a uniformly
ridiculous price... I suppose, I could do the glue-up and find a local
place with a big stationary belt sander, but I am not looking forward to
ripping and joining 12' long planks of 8/4 maple....

I have used the Grizzly maple bench tops for desk tops, bench tops and
industrial style furniture.

I have even joined tops together by clamping them together, underneath, with
those clamps used for the MDF countertops. You don't get a loot of options
for sizes, but you can cut them up to fit your application. And I know,
these are bench tops. But they work fine for other applications as well.
It ain't fine furniture, but it look a lot better than laminate.

Depending on what level of quality you are looking for, Grizzly tools sells=
Maple workbench tops. They don't typically have any voids or much mineral =
staining. The difference between tool bench tops and kitchen tops is that t=
he bench tops are not all full length strips, so they will have end butt jo=
ints on some of the strips. Boos tops are all full length strips.
I don't know anyone who could do it at a reasonable price considering the p=
rice of labor. I used to do it but only have a drum sander now, not a true =
wide belt. I could only make money by doing them as part of a bigger projec=
t, usually a kitchen island.

I have use Tablelegs.com , not for table tops but for bun feet.
BE SURE to let them know exactly what you are looking for, assume
nothing. I got 3 different looking glued up bun feet out of a set of 4,
some were solid some were pieced together. All the same species and
shape however. I ended up sending the whole batch back so that they
could resend a matching set of 4. You would think that the puller would
have known to do that in the first place.

That fills me with great confidence! Thanks for the info.
