Caperton Furnitureworks is led by West Virginia native Gat Caperton, who took over a longstanding furniture workshop in Berkeley Springs more than 25 years ago. Today, the company continues to make solid wood furniture there using Appalachian hardwoods and a mix of modern production and hands-on craftsmanship.
Each top is assembled from just four or five boards, selected for their width, soundness, and the movement of the grain. Using fewer boards creates a calmer, more expansive surface and allows more of each tree to remain visible.
Each table is finished by hand with Odie’s Oil, a food-safe, solvent-free hard-wax oil. Rather than covering the wood beneath a sprayed film, it penetrates the surface and allows most scratches, rings, and blemishes to be repaired locally with light sanding and a fresh application of oil.
Solid Appalachian-grown American white oak.
Finish: Hand-rubbed Odie’s Oil on the top, pure raw linseed oil on the frame.
Wipe with a soft, slightly damp cloth and dry promptly. Avoid abrasive cleaners and general-purpose cleaning sprays. Reapply Odie’s Oil only when the surface begins to appear dry or worn.
$195 white-glove delivery to the lower 48, including placement and assembly in the room of your choice.

The table is made from solid American white oak grown in the Appalachians.
We’ve contracted with Metropolitan Warehouse to deliver this table to the lower 48, and assemble it in the room of your choice.
With no stains or urethane finishes, if you blemish or ding the table, a simple sanding and spot application of Odie's Oil will be all you need to repair the damage.
At Roseland, we are proud to finish our furniture by hand, the old-fashioned way. We don’t stain, spray, use lacquers or polys, and we don’t do VOCs. Here are some of the ways this might be different to what you’re used to:
Because the top is made from only four or five unstained, unusually wide boards, differences in grain, tone, and natural markings will be more visible than they would be in a surface assembled from many narrow strips. These variations are intentional, and your table's color tones will warm slowly to something more uniform.
Solid wood expands and contracts as indoor humidity changes. Small shifts at the board seams, subtle changes across the top, and occasional checking—fine splits that follow the grain—can occur over time, especially as the table adjusts to a new environment. These are natural characteristics of wide-board solid wood and are not necessarily signs of structural failure.
The natural oil finish leaves the wood feeling like wood. It is made for everyday use, but it is not impervious to standing water, direct heat, or sharp impacts. Use trivets beneath hot cookware, wipe spills promptly, and expect the surface to develop a patina over time. Most localized damage can be easily repaired in minutes with spot sanding and easy application of Odie's Oil.
At Roseland, we're passionate tree buffs and are committed to helping bring back the iconic American chestnut to its native range. We will donate 3% of all unit-level profits at the end of 2026 to the American Chestnut Foundation and other similar efforts.
