Custom Furniture · Theodosia, Missouri

Heirloom tables,
built by hand
in the Ozarks.

Aaron Newton spends his days turning Ozark walnut, white oak, and cherry into one-of-a-kind dining tables, benches, and cabinetry — the kind of furniture that gets handed down, not hauled off.

The work I'm known for

Custom dining tables, built for a lifetime.

Most folks find me looking for a table. A live-edge walnut slab for a new kitchen. A long farmhouse table to seat the whole family at Thanksgiving. A coffee table cut from a tree that came down on the back forty. Whatever you have in mind, we'll talk it through, sketch it out, and I'll build it in the studio.

How it works

From rough lumber to a work of art

Conversation

We talk through what you want — size, wood, room, story. No charge, no pressure.

Sketch & quote

I send back a hand drawing, a wood selection, and a price.

In the studio

Most pieces take six to fourteen weeks. I send photos as the work comes together.

Delivered

I'll drive it to you if you're local or ship it if you're not.

The maker

From the clinic to the chisel.

For three decades, Aaron Newton was the doctor folks in Theodosia called when something went wrong. He still keeps the same hours — he just spends them at a bench instead of a bedside.

If you can describe it, I can probably build it.

Tables, chairs, cabinets, mantels, mirror frames, cutting boards, signs. Tell me what's on your mind and we'll see where it leads.
