Soft Lines for Hardwood Lovers: The Story Behind the Grace Table
A classic silhouette reimagined for modern luxury, handcrafted in Edmond, Oklahoma.
The Grace Dining Table represents the perfect marriage of traditional woodturning and contemporary design. Born from a desire to trade rigid, sharp corners for soft, inviting curves, this bespoke pedestal piece is a celebration of organic texture and structural elegance. Built to serve as the heart of the home, every Grace table is custom-built, uniquely grained, and meticulously finished to last generations.
The Anatomy of Elegance
Hand-Turned Pedestal Base: The true centerpiece of the Grace is its striking, solid-wood pedestal and foot. Each base is individually hand-shaped in our shop, ensuring that no two tables are ever entirely alike. It provides a commanding visual presence while maximizing legroom for guests.
A Bespoke Silhouette: Available in standard 60” (seats 6) and 72” (seats 8) round configurations, the Grace offers an approachable yet luxurious profile. To elevate the classic look, clients can opt for an elegant, custom-beaded skirt detail around the under-rim of the tabletop.
Crafted from Earth, Refined by Hand
We believe that premium furniture begins at the source. The Grace is brought to life using only the finest premium hardwoods, chosen for their structural integrity and character:
Locally Sourced & Sustainable: Handcrafted using S4S locally sourced Walnut, White Oak, or Red Oak, as well as solid hardwood Mahogany or Cherry. All timber is FSC-certified.
Built for the Real World: We apply a premium catalyzed conversion finish to every piece. This life-proof sealer protects the wood against heat, alcohol, and daily spills without sacrificing the natural warmth of the grain.
Seasonal Engineering: Wood is a living medium. The Grace is engineered with mortise and tenon reinforcement and specialized structural spacing to safely accommodate natural seasonal expansion and contraction.

Every piece of furniture tells a story, but a dining table holds a unique responsibility. It is the architectural anchor of the home. It’s where morning light hits the first cup of coffee, where the family gathers after a long day, and where generations pull up a chair to share a meal.
Too often, modern furniture feels rigid, defined by sharp corners and cold industrial lines. With the Grace table, we wanted to create an entirely different experience. We wanted to design something softer, warmer, and deeply inviting. The Grace is a celebration of classic American woodturning, completely reimagined for the contemporary home. It trades harsh edges for soft, flowing curves that naturally draw people in.
At the heart of this design is the striking, solid-wood pedestal base. Individually hand-shaped right here in our Edmond workshop. Because it is turned by hand, no two bases are ever identical; each one carries the subtle signature of the craftsman. This central pedestal doesn't just create a powerful visual statement, it also eliminates table legs entirely, maximizing legroom so that everyone can sit comfortably around its round top.
But true luxury shouldn’t be fragile. Wood is a living, breathing material, which is why the Grace is meticulously engineered to accommodate natural, seasonal expansion. We craft it from the finest, locally sourced premium hardwoods, like the deep, rich Walnut and timeless White Oak. To ensure it survives the beautiful chaos of daily life, we seal every inch with a life-proof finish that resists heat, stains, alcohol, and spills, without sacrificing the natural, tactile texture of the grain.
This isn’t furniture built for a season. This is an heirloom engineered for a lifetime. When you bring a Grace table into your space, you aren't just buying a table, you are investing in the backdrop for a thousand future conversations.
At Graeber Design, we build for living, and we guarantee for life. Bring a little more grace into your home.
