One of our customers happily sent us a picture of our recent 6′ “Country Chic” Handmade in Alabama THICK PINE TOP FARM TABLE as it now sits in the their dining room.

Here it is!…

"Country Chic" FARM TABLE in its New Home

The new owner knew exactly what they wanted and was willing to wait until we built a new one (emails since Feb.).
Also, please note the new chairs the owner purchased from ENCORE RESALES based on our recommendation. Aren’t they beautiful and work very well with the table?

Wouldn’t you like one of these… or something very similar? ??? Yeah? Well then.. Contact Just Fine Tables and we’ll do our best to make you as happy as our new customer above.

From Just Fine Tables today–

We completed the Big THICK PINE RUSTIC TOP FARM TABLE with “Country Chic” Legs and Skirt for a customer in Lower Alabama (That’s called L.A. by many folks in the Upper Alabama area).
The Farm Table was dropped off at ENCORE RESALES Consignment and Furniture Store and was picked up my its new owner within a couple of hours. This was all preplanned by Just Fine Tables and the buyer (Email communication works!)

Here’s the Farm Table!!!

THICK PINE TOP "COUNTRY CHIC" FARM TABLE sporting PORTSMOUTH LEGS

As noted in the caption, the Portsmouth Table Legs were new legs that we purchased (OSBORNE Wood Products). The remainder of the table was all hand built from materials obtained from local Birmingham, AL area merchants.

Soon, Just Fine Tables will be building another Made in America Farm Table that will be slightly larger than the one shown here. It will look very much like this one and it will also be steadied with new legs from Osborne.

If you would be interested in having a Farm Table customized to your wants and desires, please feel free to contact Just Fine Tables at your convenience. We suggest you contact us using email, if possible. That’s JustFineTables@gmail.com

Obama and OBAMACARE is set to Screw Older Folks starting January 1, 2013 with a 3.8% Sales Tax On Some Home Sale Profits.  Actually, ObamaCare will screw many folks selling homes after Jan. 1, 2013 who have built up significant profits in their homes….if they still have taxable profits after their home values have plummeted with the 40% selling price loss nationwide due Obama’s Exponential Debt Spending.

As Nancy Pelosi said about OBAMACARE, “You have to Pass It to Find Out What Is In It!” …. Well, here is one thing discovered by the National Association of REALTORS that was sent to me that I felt was extremely important for all Americans to know about ….

Note: Some editing was requires to the below 3rd party information to provide more clarity and accuracy.

“The National Association of REALTORS is all over this and working to get Obamacare repealed, before the excess profits sales tax takes effect.  But, we are very pleased we aren’t the only ones who know about this ploy to steal billions from unsuspecting homeowners.

Sales Tax Guidelines: For Single Folks with Profits Over $250,000 or Couples with Profits Over $500,000.

Did you know that if you sell your house after 2012 you will pay a 3.8% sales tax on profits over the above guidelines?  That’s $3,800 on profits of $100,000 above the limits.

When did this happen? It’s in the Health Care Bill and goes into effect in 2013.  Why 2013?  Could it be to come to light AFTER the 2012 elections?

So, this is (OBAMA’s ) “change you can believe in”?  Under the New Health Care Bill all real estate transactions will be subject to a 3.8% Sales Tax.
`
If you sell your home with a $400,000 profit above limits, You will have to pay a $15,200 tax.

This bill is set to ‘Screw The Retiring Generation’ who often downsize their homes. Does this make your November and 2012 vote more important?

Oh, you weren’t aware this was in the Obamacare bill?  Guess what, you aren’t alone.  There are more than a few members of Congress that aren’t aware of it either”

http://www.gop.gov/blog/10/04/08/obamacare-flatlines-obamacare-taxes-home

Thought you might like to see this.  I know I was surprised.  LUCKILY, WE SOLD OUR HOME LATE LAST YEAR and as a result, we won’t have to suffer through this kind of personal asset theft.

Editing to the above 3rd party information was necessary to provide clarity and accuracy. It may still be a little off, but the bottom line is that OBAMACARE is Terrible for America and Real Working and/or Seriously Looking for Work Americans.

Today, the day before VALENTINE’s DAY from Just Fine Tables, Calera, AL–

While Just Fine Tables continues to complete Two (2) Custom Hand Made in America Kitchen Island Tables, we are also re / Refinishing a large Oak PEDESTAL TABLE with its six(6) fantastic Oak CHAIRS at ENCORE RESALES Consignment Store, Pelham, AL.

Just Fine Tables is refinishing the chairs over time (we have two (2) more to redo ) with expectations of having them with the table later this week. …AND, if we are lucky we will have refinished the large Oak Pedestal Table’s base and skirt to resemble the tables’ chairs (i.e. Distressed Cottage White ).

Below is a picture of the Oak Table with its large leaf and four (4) of the current refinished chairs.

PARTIAL REFINISHING OF OAK PEDESTAL TABLE WITH FOUR (4) REFINISHED CHAIRS

If you have visited Encore Resales over the past 3 months or so, you probably have seen the above table and chair set. We appreciate Encore Resales displaying our table and chairs and know that they enjoy luncheon meals and customer discussions about Encore Resale other offerings on them.

OTHER- We have found our friends over at CRAIGSLIST.ORG having a little hissy with Furniture by Owner Items listed in the greater Birmingham, AL market place. Their concerns are considered both right and wrong depending upon how one evaluates For Sale By Owner items. Since Just Fine Tables has listed most of our items with Craigslist in the For Sale By Owner category in the past (which is absolutely true), we will change our listing in Craigslist to help them in the future by listing our owner items in the For Sale By Dealer category.

We Still Love Craigslist (with the exception of spamming #&%HOLES), and continue to recommend Craigslist.org as an excellent website to find many valuable items and services, some at really great bargain prices!

With that in mind, here is one of our newest Craigslist.org offerings in its new category-

MAN CAVE COFFEE TABLE w/ HIDDEN STORAGE & WOOD SLAT SHELF

Did you follow the link in Craigslist? Craigslist.org offerings

Got to go. Have a GREAT DAY! … Remember VALENTINE’S DAY tomorrow!

A reprint from our Just Fine Tables blog (December 26, 2011)

Custom COFFEE TABLE with Matching END / SIDE TABLES (…ALL with Lower Shelves) were delivered to their new owner just before Christmas for them to enjoy over the Holidays and forward. The new custom built coffee table and matching side tables were ordered to replace an old existing ensemble of the same.

The Coffee Table and End / Side Tables are displayed below before being moved upstairs in their new home:

Custom MAPLE TOP Coffee Table with Matching End / Side Tables & with Lower Shelves

The tables were all built ’sight unseen’ based upon the customer’s desires and best thoughts for what the lady customer wanted. She knew the basic dimensions of what she wanted and that she wanted the tables to all have lower shelves for baskets and the like. However, she was undecided on what type wood top and stain color she wanted in the tables. In response to that question, we at Just Fine Tables offered her a selection by looking over past custom built farm tables. We asked that she look over some examples of past work to help in making a selection. She did! …and selected the Maple Top as the best example of what she wanted.

We at Just Fine Tables will check back with the customer after we return from a much needed vacation with our Texas based Children and Grandson to get the final determination if the Coffee Table and End / Side Tables met with her satisfaction. We think they will as her husband said that the new tables looked a lot better than their current ones.

Note: If we find that the tables are not what the customer wanted, we at Just Fine Tables will buy them back as we always want our customers happy with our work.

A modified reprint from Just Fine Tables.com

Just Fine Tables (now located in Calera, AL) delivered a Customer Designed Wine Bar – Buffet Table and a Customer Sized Coffee Table with Lower Shelf this past week to their new owners to enjoy over the holidays and for years to come. Both items were built from scratch. Yes, they are virgin “Made-in-America” tables built by Just Fine Tables.

For the Wine Bar-Buffet Table, the customer requested an additional shelf for added wine bottle storage. The idea was to have extra storage at the bottom of the wine bar and that the typical upper shelf would provide immediate and easy access to current wine serving with an expanded area on the shelf for hors d’oeuvres, cheese, and the like. The Wine Bar-Buffet Table is pictured below in its new home:

Dark Stained Maple Top Wine Bar with Dual Wine Storage Shelves

For the Coffee Table with Lower Shelf, the customer requested that the table have a Rustic Looking Top (i.e. used & beat up) sized approximately 2′ x 4′ and that it have a Lower Shelf for some decorative and useful baskets. Note: This coffee table is the first one built by Just Fine Tables to have a lower shelf. The Custom Coffee Table is pictured below in its new home:

2' x 4' Coffee Table with Lower Shelf

It is truly fun helping customers to see their wishes completed and that they can continue to enjoy their wishes for years to come. Luckily, we at Just Fine Tables have more fun items to complete (3 table set [sides & coffee] with lower shelves , a bookcase, a bed’s headboard & foot board, and a “Step-up-to-be-Tall” Stool for our Grandson who will turn 1 year old Christmas Eve) over the next week.

Have Wished Everyone a Merry Christmas & a Very Happy and Prosperous New Year!

Here is a picture of out newest Man Cave Coffee Table for your viewing.
