The Shanklin House – Kitchen Island

Crafted from the past, built for gathering

A custom kitchen island fabricated from salvaged oak recovered during the Shanklin House renovation.

After harvesting 200+ year-old oak planks from the house during renovation, we worked closely with the owners to customize the design of this kitchen island to create a cozy, yet comfortable space for family gatherings and entertaining friends. Building and finishing this piece by hand, we created a legacy table that speaks to the special history and Kentucky aesthetic of this spectacular property.
