Double Track Credenza

This is a beautiful piece of heavily distressed white oak. It had such a prominent feature in the knot that we simply had to make it the focal point of the piece. 

We call it a credenza, but it works great as a hall table, behind the sofa or as a sleek media center for a flat screen TV. 

The four legs slide out of the base to make for easy shipping and assembly. The whole thing ships in a box about 60” long, 30” wide and 8” tall and takes two able-bodied people about 5 minutes to assemble.

Just following the old design philosophy of KISS - Keep It Stupid Simple.

Double Track Credenza

Made from a single hickory timber and four sticks of Tennessee Coal & Iron Company rail circa 1906. This one is unique because it is the only piece we have done to date with the legs left unsealed. You won’t want the natural rust material on a rug or anything that will stain easily, but dang it looks nice!

This one is sure to start a conversation when folks realize that it’ made of century-old railroad materials.

Louisville & Nashville Credenza

OK folks, this is a special one. A beautiful credenza or hall table or console table (call it what you want) with a hickory timber. The wood has some gorgeous bark seams and wane that make it truly striking. Coupled with four sticks of Louisville & Nashville Railroad rail from 1902, this is one of our all-time favorites! 

The Brand reads “L&N RR” HB & HV MAI 1902 70 lbs.

The L&N RR is the railroad line. HB & HV is Hoesch in Germany. MAI is May (auf Deutsch) and 1902 the date with 70 lbs. being the weight per yard of rail.

Now here’s the disclaimer. We proudly say that everything we have is Made in USA, but I have to point out that these rails were made in Germany - granted that was 109 years ago, but we just want to be sure we’re up front that we’re using some non-US origin materials here.
