Earth, METAL, Wood!!






We are very excited to welcome Richard Gillis to our family of artists. Richard, a local metal artist hand-forges cold hard steel into timeless, beautiful furniture, sculpture, lamps, and home accents.
Rich is currently exhibiting this beautiful table at the Gilford Welcome Center along with DaVallia's exclusive furniture line. This is a must see for anyone who doesn't want to sacrifice function, style, and beauty in small places.
The table based is made of forged and welded steel, finished with a linseed oil based finish to bring out the natural characteristics and beauty of the metal.
The hand planed table top is constructed of quarter sawn hard maple, which is very durable and less susceptible to warping than flat sawn wood.
The finish is a custom blended stain followed by multiple coats of polyurethane. Brass hinges with a dark patina connect the 2 pieces of wood along with custom hardware created to align the table top in the appropriate open and closed positions. This table can seat 4 people in the closed position and up to 8 people in the open position. 6 for dining.
The table measures 32" W x 32"L x 29" H closed
and 32"W x 64"L x 28" H open.
