A Retired Veteran Turns to Art and Craftsmanship
"I wonder if we could make a table out of that." It's a simple enough question that a lot of our customers have asked themselves (remember the jet engine table?). But Joseph Crow, of sunny San Antonio, TX took that question a few steps further, turning everyday driftwood into stunning hand-made furniture.
Carefully trimming and sanding the driftwood into a sturdy base, the gnarled, weather-beaten branches became the support for the table's surface. After applying several coats of polyurethane, Joe was ready for the top. He wanted something that would allow the beautifully hand-crafted base to be visible and yet still be sturdy and functional. He felt that a glass table top would be the best choice for his wood project.
"I found a glass table top at DullesGlassandMirror.com that seemed like it was very high-quality glass at a good price," Crow told us. "It came well-packaged and in one piece just a few days later."
Since his first creation, Crow has finished a number of these tables and sold them to several local folks from San 
"People have been really receptive to my work and I've gotten a lot of compliments," Crow said. We can see why!
We're so glad we could help make your beautiful creations come to life. We wish you the best of luck on all your future creations!
