Why Bark&Brushes
We're not a factory. We're a small team of craftsmen who build every piece by hand in our Abita Springs workshop. Here's what sets us apart from other custom furniture makers on the Northshore.
Our Abita Springs facility includes a CNC bay with 14-foot and 8-foot machines, a separate epoxy pour room, vacuum kiln, and a showroom where you can pick your slab in person.
Every slab is dried in our vacuum kiln — 2,800 board feet per cycle — and moisture-tested before we start. Proper drying prevents warping and cracking for decades.
We use premium super clear epoxy with UV resistance and heat resistance. Your table looks as stunning in 10 years as the day we deliver it — guaranteed clarity.
This isn't factory furniture. You select your slab, choose your epoxy color, pick your finish — and you're welcome to visit the shop and participate in the build process.
Based in Abita Springs with delivery and installation across Mandeville, Covington, Slidell, Madisonville, Lacombe, and all of St. Tammany Parish. We also ship to Mississippi and Texas.
Most projects fall between $1,999 and $9,999 with a 50% deposit to begin. Payment plans and financing options are available for larger custom pieces — so you can get the table you want now.

About Our Craft
Bark&Brushes LLC is a custom furniture workshop based in Abita Springs, Louisiana, specializing in handcrafted live edge tables, epoxy river tables, conference tables, desks, bars, countertops, headboards, shelves, and wall art. Every piece is designed collaboratively with the client and built start-to-finish in our 3,000 square foot workshop on LA Highway 36.
Our live edge dining tables are the centerpiece of homes across Mandeville, Covington, Slidell, and St. Tammany Parish. We work with premium domestic and exotic hardwoods — including walnut, cypress, mahogany, pecan, maple, cherry, and oak — sourced from trusted lumber mills with established relationships. Every slab is dried in our on-site vacuum kiln, which processes 2,800 board feet per cycle, and is moisture-tested before any cutting begins. This ensures your table won't warp or crack for decades.
Our epoxy river tables are poured by hand in a dedicated pour room using super clear epoxy with UV resistance and heat resistance. Whether you want a crystal-clear river, deep ocean blue, midnight black, turquoise, or a custom color match, we pour it in-house with precision. The result is a table that looks as stunning in ten years as the day we deliver it. Epoxy river tables are available in dining, coffee, conference, and desk sizes — and we deliver and install across Louisiana, Mississippi, and Texas.
From 8-foot executive tables to 14-foot boardroom centerpieces, our custom conference tables are built for businesses that want to make a statement. We've built live edge and epoxy conference tables for law firms, tech companies, restaurants, and offices in Covington, Mandeville, Metairie, New Orleans, and beyond. Every conference table includes your choice of wood species, epoxy color, finish, and leg style — with delivery and professional installation included.
Our Abita Springs workshop is equipped with two CNC machines (14-foot and 8-foot), a vacuum kiln, a dedicated epoxy pour room with degassing equipment, and a showroom where clients can browse finished pieces and select their own slabs. We use Rubio Monocoat, epoxy top coat, and professional-grade stains and sealers for finishing. Quality checks happen at every stage of the build — we don't advance to the next step until each phase passes inspection.
