 Farmhouse Ladder Back Dining Chair

Oak posts are placed in a vat of boiling water and then placed in a row of forms that bend the posts at just the right spot!  They stay in our dry kiln for 48 hours and when removed have a perfect bend. To make the farmhouse ladder back dining chair more comfortable a portion of the front posts is shaved off so they will not dig into your back. Technique called “swelled joint construction “. Swelled joint construction is a technique of furniture construction borrowed from Shaker design. Moisture content in the lumber is closely monitored, when at the right point the wood is made into base pieces. Larger posts (front and back posts) have higher moisture content than the smaller posts (rungs). With the variance in moisture content, the small posts swell as they absorb moisture from the larger posts and the larger posts shrink as they lose moisture to smaller parts making a much tighter fit than if they had been glued.

Charleston Hunt Board

Charleston Plantation Hunt Board Farm Table with Hepplewhite tapped legs with square threw pegs. Shown in Colonial Heart Pine Top is made from a small gate from a colonial house built in the 1700′s in Greer South Carolina Inspired while Artist Jaryd Walley was visiting a plantation in Charleston South Carolina. He noticed a small table in the Plantation kitchen house. The purpose for the table was for the master of the house or guest would hunt small game. Small tables would be brought out to the field so riders on horseback could drop off game to be dressed and then return to the field.

The American harvest table, as it is recognized today, began with the feasts Pilgrims planned as a fall harvest celebration. These feasts are most recognized as the roots of the Thanksgiving holiday. For many the term harvest table refers not to the piece of furniture, but to the items on the table, which represent the fall harvest. Nothing represents that better then a harvest farm table by Mobili Farm Tables.

Living in the upstate of South Carolina, Artist Jaryd Walley was inspired by the natural splendor of the Appalachian Mountains. The Two Board wide pine boards are very limited and were discovered here in the upstate of South Carolina. A 150-year-old family owned mill recently had closed. These boards were found out back under a shed and had been milled in the late 1800’s as evidenced by the enormous saw marks. Shown in mahogany stain and shaker style legs, it is truly a harvest farm table to treasure for generations.

Shaker Table

Shaker Dining Tables and Furniture is one of Mobili Farm Tables specialties. Shaker is a style that is very much in demand for its simple qualities and minimalist styling. This has given rise to an increasing number of manufacturers basing furniture around the Shaker designs. Mass produced versions flood the market but have no lasting value. Mobili Farm Tables takes a much different approach in making a shaker table. We capture the soul and imagination of what an authentic shaker table would have looked like and how it was originally made. We make our shaker furniture and shaker dining tables the way they were meant to be made, individually handcrafted by an artisan using the highest quality woods and hand perfected joinery.

”Everyone who has visited comments on the table and cannot believe the quality of craftsmanship. ”

 I could not be happier with the table I received from him nor with the service he provided. Always courteous and professional; he provided large samples to ensure I received exactly what I wanted and was exceptionally meticulous with details (and patient as well as I waffled through a few things!). The lines are graceful, clean and simple, the color and finish perfect. I also asked him to make matching benches and the complete set looks wonderful”   Sheba Veghte (San Francisco)
