About Us — Plovegap
Plovegap builds real-wood furniture for everyday living. The goal is simple: make pieces that feel honest, feel solid, and feel good in the hand. Tops are smooth, edges are kind to sleeves and skin, frames stay square, and every joint meets cleanly. Visitors are welcome at the small workshop and showroom at 2 Hatcher Dr, Bella Vista, AR 72715—seeing the work up close is the easiest way to understand it.

Materials & Sustainability
Plovegap selects hardwoods that are carefully kiln-dried (wood dried in a temperature-controlled kiln so it stays stable) so tables stay stable through heat, cold, and humidity. Most builds use white oak, walnut, maple, ash, or cherry. Boards are chosen for strength and a calm, natural look, then arranged so color and grain flow across the top. Bases can be matching solid wood for warmth and tradition, or powder-coated steel from small U.S. fabricators for a slimmer modern profile. All finishes are low-VOC (safer for home use). A natural oil finish gives a soft, matte feel and can be refreshed later with simple steps. A clear sprayed finish adds extra protection against daily spills and scuffs while keeping the wood’s color and figure visible. Plovegap keeps simple build notes for each batch—what wood arrived, which finish left—so touch-ups and matching future pieces are straightforward.
Common U.S. suppliers include Baillie Lumber, Rex Lumber, Northwest Hardwoods, Baird Brothers, Bell Forest Products, Hearne Hardwoods, Frank Paxton Lumber (Paxton), and distributors of Weyerhaeuser products. Hardware and metal items are typically sourced through McMaster-Carr or Fastenal, with precision cutting by SendCutSend or Xometry.

Products & Lead Times
Plovegap focuses on the pieces people reach for most: dining tables for gathering, coffee and side tables that anchor a room, consoles that tidy entryways, and desks that balance cable routing with open space for work. Each design is offered in practical sizes that fit real homes, not just showrooms. Some sizes and finishes are kept ready to ship and usually leave within 1–2 business days. Made-to-order pieces typically require about 3–5 weeks depending on the design and finishing steps. Production runs in small batches—about 20–40 pieces per month—so timelines stay realistic and quality stays consistent. If timing matters, Plovegap will be direct about what is available now and what can be built in time.

Plovegap buys wood and materials from long-standing U.S. suppliers. Depending on the piece and availability, common sources include Baillie Lumber, Rex Lumber, Northwest Hardwoods, Baird Brothers, Bell Forest Products, Hearne Hardwoods, and distributors of Weyerhaeuser products. Hardware and metal parts are typically supplied through McMaster-Carr or Fastenal, and precision metal cutting is handled by trusted partners such as SendCutSend or Xometry. These partners help keep parts consistent and replacements quick if service is ever needed. If a customer wants the exact sources used for a specific order, Plovegap gladly shares the recorded supplier names, finish choices, and dates for that batch.

Build & Strength
Plovegap lays out boards that look right together and joins them into a stable top. High-stress areas—where legs meet the top and where long spans need support—receive extra reinforcing so the piece stays steady over time. Hardware is set neatly into the wood so assembly and future re-assembly do not wear the joints. Legs include discreet levelers so the table sits firm even on uneven floors. Dining tables are built for real use: platters, laptops, art projects, and long talks. Paired with the right base, the top resists wobble and racking and simply does its job. If extra legroom, wheelchair clearance, or softer, family-friendly edges are needed, Plovegap adjusts the design to suit the home it will live in.

Our Process — From Wood to Finished Piece
Plovegap starts each build the same way: the incoming wood is tagged with where it came from and set aside to rest in the Arkansas shop. This quiet step lets boards settle into local air before they become a table, which helps the finished piece behave better later.

Plovegap then plans the look of the top. Boards are spread on a long bench and shuffled until color and grain feel calm and continuous. Quick reference photos are taken, the final layout is marked, and those marks guide the next steps so the same pleasing arrangement shows up in the finished surface.

Plovegap cuts parts to size and prepares connection points. Holes for hardware and plates for the legs are placed with care so everything meets where it should. A full test fit follows: the top and base come together, steadiness is checked, and details like knee room, overhangs, and chair clearance are confirmed. If anything needs a nudge, it happens here.

Plovegap moves to handwork. Every edge is softened so sleeves do not snag and elbows rest comfortably. Natural marks like small knots are smoothed so they add character without catching on cloth or skin. Surfaces are sanded in fine steps until the table feels even from corner to corner. Corners can be rounded more for families with young children or kept crisper for a sharper look—both are finished to feel good in the hand.

Plovegap applies the chosen finish. A natural oil brings out the grain with a warm, matte glow and can be refreshed later with a simple wipe-on kit. A clear protective finish adds more everyday armor for kitchens and workspaces while keeping the wood’s natural color visible. After finishing, the piece rests so the surface sets up well and is ready for real use.

Plovegap performs a final check in natural light. The top should feel flat under the palm; the base should feel balanced when gently rocked; the hardware should start and tighten smoothly; the finish should look even from all sides. A short set of photos is taken, and the order notes are updated—wood type, finish choice, edge style, and any special details like cable grommets or a matching bench. These records make future care, touch-ups, or ordering a second, matching piece simple.

Plovegap prepares the furniture for travel with the same care used to build it. Tops and bases are wrapped with foam and protected at the corners. A small kit with clearly labeled screws, the correct driver, and easy steps goes in the box. When the shipment arrives, setup is straightforward and the table is ready to work. For customers who want extra guidance, Plovegap can include small finish samples, a short care card, and simple photo tips for keeping the surface looking its best. If a move is planned later, Plovegap shares repacking advice so the table can travel safely again.

Custom Orders
Custom orders stay clear and simple. Share the room size, how many seats are needed, the chairs on hand, and any special needs such as cable routing or rounder corners. Plovegap provides quick sketches and basic drawings to agree on size, leg placement, and clearances. Then come the details: wood species, finish, edge shape, stain matching if needed, light carvings or inlays, desk grommets, or a matching bench. Plovegap holds 4–8 custom slots per month so timelines stay dependable. If matching an existing piece, photos in natural light help Plovegap guide the choice toward the closest wood and finish.

Packing & Delivery
Plovegap wraps the top and base with foam and corner guards and includes a clearly labeled hardware kit and the right driver. Most U.S. orders ship with UPS, FedEx, or DHL and include tracking; larger tables may travel on a pallet for safer handling. In the Bella Vista area, Plovegap can schedule delivery and, if needed, place the piece in the room of choice. If repacking is ever required for a move, Plovegap will resend the instructions and share practical tips so the furniture arrives safely a second time.

Plovegap recommends wiping spills as they happen and dusting with a soft cloth. Coasters or trivets help with very hot items. Long stretches of direct sun and very humid rooms can speed up color changes, so a little shade and stable air help. Oil-finished pieces can be refreshed about once a year with a simple kit supplied by Plovegap. Clear-coated pieces respond well to a gentle, non-silicone polish; strong cleaners are not needed. Real wood shifts a little with light and time—this slow change is natural and part of the material’s character.
