What is the difference between a Smooth top, Hand Hewn top, and Planked top?
A Smooth top is what the name implies, a standard dining table top without any texture applied. A Hand Hewn top mimics a time before machines made flat smooth table tops it has a slightly uneven surface with a subtle texture and tactile appeal (please see catalog photo). A Planked top is hand sanded by our New England artisans to create panels within the table top that are raised with varying thickness. There are no grooves between the panels (otherwise known as crumb catchers).
