Ricardo Dining Table

The Ricardo Dining Table is a refined and purposeful addition to the ShackletonThomas collection, thoughtfully designed by Charles Shackleton with the principles of economist David Ricardo in mind. Intended as a more "economical" alternative to our standard pieces without sacrificing quality, this table achieves a simple, clean aesthetic through expert minimalism and masterful handwork.

The table’s character is defined by a balance of structural strength and delicate detailing:

• Traditional Joinery: Built with authentic pinned mortise and tenon joinery, ensuring the frame remains robust and stable for a lifetime of use.

• Signature Pinned Tenons: The square-pinned tenons are left visible as a hallmark of our hand-craftsmanship, adding a human touch and a sense of history to the design.

• Refined Silhouette: The solid wood top is supported by four elegantly tapered legs, creating a light visual footprint that fits comfortably in both modern and traditional dining rooms.

• Hand-Planed Surface: Like all ShackletonThomas furniture, the 1 1/4" thick top is finished with a hand-planed texture that reflects light beautifully and feels exceptionally smooth to the touch.

• Premium Hardwoods: Available in American Black Cherry or American Black Walnut, with each piece selected for its continuous, rich grain.

The Ricardo Dining Table serves as a durable, heirloom-quality centerpiece that embodies the soulful, handmade lifestyle of our Vermont workshop.
