“By Rick Barber — Founder, LMNTL Custom Game & Furniture Manufacturing”
Where Craftsmanship Begins
Every custom table tells a story. It begins not with blueprints, but with materials — the wood, the epoxy, the fabric, the hardware — and the hands that bring it together.
“True custom furniture starts with integrity in materials, intention in the process, and skill in execution. This balance determines whether a piece is admired for a season or cherished for a lifetime.”
Materials That Matter
For furniture meant to endure, materials form the foundation:
- Hardwoods: Walnut, maple, oak — strong, beautiful, living materials that age gracefully
- Epoxy: Professional-grade casting resin that resists yellowing, warping, and cracking
- Finishes & Hardware: Hand-rubbed lacquer, deep gloss resin, ceramic coatings; quality leather, upholstery, and adhesives
Every choice contributes to longevity, performance, and aesthetic identity.
The Human Element Behind Quality
Materials alone are not enough. True craftsmanship comes from the hands that create:
- Listening to the wood
- Shaping with awareness
- Making decisions that balance form and function
The small imperfections and human choices give the table its soul.
