anybody know a company or a person that makes handmade furniture? thats better quality than the big stores. im looking for a kitchen table for my new house.
 
There was a guy on craigslist that posted up some real nice looking pieces of furniture made to order.... I searched and dont see his adds anymore ... maybe I'm using the wrong search words.
 
My buddy goes down to OH and buys direct from the Amish. You can head down, tell them what you want and head back when it's done. The stuff is top notch and is priced very well.

They used to be on mound north of 59.. a little pricey, but make some badass furniture.
 
Do you want custom made or pre-built that will fit your needs. If you're having custom made by the an Amish maker I would recommend going to see then with pictures and detailed sketches or drawing with dimensions. I just built a house with all Amish made cabinets and doors from someone in OH. Keep in mind they don't drive, or have email, limited phone use, sometime they get faxes. I used snail mail for most things, after I visited his shop and met with his finisher down the road. He hired a drives to bring him to MI with my cabinets and spent 2 days installing. They have amazing quality, priced compares to high end cabinets but they are much nicer.

I did meet a furniture maker while picking up a motorcycle a couple years ago in Pontiac. I saw a gorgeous table set but it was $20,000.
Custom furniture makers are expensive....

There are some very good furniture makers sold in stores, check out 5 Hands. They make some amazing tables using reclaimed wood.
Anything by Hooker is good, Baker or Henderdon are all good quality products but fairly expensive.
