The Giving Table (TGT) specializes in making premium solid wood tables and butcher block tops for the hospitality industry while donating a portion of each sale to help feed children in the most impoverished parts of the world. While we specialize in restaurant tabletops and butcher block tops, TGT offers complete wood solutions for restaurant brands, creating unique products for our customers. We also produce custom butcher block island tops, carts, chopping blocks and cutting boards. In addition, TGT has produced many custom dining room tables, chairs, coffee tables, sofa tables, and night stands for residential use.
TGT was born from the need for tables and furniture for another Arkansas-based company, Tacos 4 Life. Tacos 4 Life approached Kevin Chenoweth, a long time hobby woodworker, about building farmhouse tables, booths, barn doors and wood decor for their expanding restaurant locations. It soon became evident that expansion was needed and TGT was formed and moved from the garage into a 6,000 square foot workshop in August of 2017.
We have made products for a number of restaurants in 5 different states and have completed projects for the University of Arkansas, Central Arkansas University and the Arkansas Department of Transportation.

Our goal is to double in growth in 2020 and reach 10x growth by 2024.
