The Montana Shuffleboard Tables is in our Craftsman Series line of shuffleboard tables. We put our different models into series that often make the website difficult to navigate. However, we have over 30 different tables and try to arrange them by themes or decor. You can always search by Shuffleboard Table size or by Shuffleboard Table Price. In this part of the website, you can also use the size filters in the left-hand navigation. We can even make custom handcrafted shuffleboard tables in the design you have in mind, and many of our models were inspired by a customer's request.
Check out the video above here and the image slider below for a look at the process involved in crafting the Montana Shuffleboard Table. We have a very small woodshop with a team of five craftsmen who build all our McClure handcrafted shuffleboard tables. Many woodworkers can build every model, but we tend to have favorites that one builder usually makes. This model, the Montana shuffleboard table, is one that Jose usually builds.
Handcrafted in Michigan Made in America
The Montana Shuffleboard Table is made from northern Michigan hand-hewn pine or red cedar logs. The Montana, one of the handcrafted Michigan shuffleboard tables made in America, takes longer than most models because of the way the logs are cured. Most logs get harvested to build log homes and lodges. For Log furniture, you must cure the logs longer to get the right moisture content. The moisture content of any furniture must be between 8 and 10 percent. Wood drying in a kiln is stacked with spacers between the planks, and thinner wood will cure faster than thicker wood. You can imagine how long it takes for a full log to dry.
The logs are cured and hand-peeled or hewn from the supplier. We do the final mortise-and-tenon joinery and some final drawknife touches. Let us know if you want a particular wood, if you prefer Northern Michigan white Pine or red Cedar hand-hewn logs.
