Antique Pine Table From Walker Creek Furniture In Essex, Ma

At Walker Creek Furniture, the team creates unique or custom tables and furniture using wood that comes from old houses, floorboards and other places.  Each piece has it’s own history and beauty.  The thing that is really cool is that you can go in there for inspiration, see something you like and then tell them that you like it but might want a different finish, size or dimension and they can custom build it to the specs that fit the needs of your particular room.  Video number one from Walker Creek comes tomorrow morning at 10:00AM
