Hoskins Creek Farm Tables- Tappahannock
Hoskins Creek Farm Tables
Brackett and John Vaughan of Hoskins Creek Farm Tables
In the 1970s, John Vaughan, then a farmer in Essex County, began building furniture. His first farm table, built out of reclaimed wood, was primitive, but it sold immediately. Orders for more soon followed and the Hoskins Creek Table Company was born.
There’s just something special about gathering around an old farm table for a meal with friends and family. Maybe it’s the patina on the pine or the dings that signal the passing of time and the memories of family celebrations. Whatever that intangible is, John, now 70, and his son Brackett, 38, are carrying on a time-honored tradition of handcrafting farm tables in their shop on the banks of Hoskins Creek in Tappahannock.
Crafted of Southern yellow pine, poplar and reclaimed Virginia wood from old houses and barns slated for demolition, with exposed hardware and wide planks, their farm tables are both rustic and refined. Prices range from $400 to $1,800. HoskinsCreekTableCompany.com
