Custom Nautical-Themed Coffee Table

At Against the Grain Creative Concepts, we pride ourselves on having long-term clients who return to us over the years for quality craftsmanship and superior attention to detail. Our clients trust us to bring their ideas to life while preserving the integrity of the original material. An excellent example of this was when a longstanding client brought us a piece of glass that came from her mother’s coffee table and wanted us to use that piece and turn it into a coffee table for their beach house in Hilton Head.

The piece of glass had 4 holes where the pole table legs went through it. So, we needed to put together a coffee table that utilized the 4 holes. They have a nautical-themed beach house, so we took an old ship line that was recovered from Lake Superior and used the dock line as part of the structure of the table along with 4X4 barn beams from the Kansasville barn tear down, alternating the layers.

The goal was to make the inside of the coffee table look just like the outside of the coffee table. It was a challenging build to make the rope a structural support. But in the end, the results were fantastic! Check out the big reveal and the clients’ reaction on the ATGCC Facebook Page and be sure to follow us for more great content like this!
