CNC Furniture Design Examples
1. CNC Dining Table
Nothing makes a statement quite like a dining table. As the centrepiece for meals with family and friends, a dining table sets the tone in any room.

Dining tables can also be designed and constructed as extendable, adjusting to accommodate more guests or reduced to take up less space when necessary. CNC extending dining tables can come as cross-extension or in a Gironde style. The beauty of CNC furniture design is that almost any ideas are possible due to the precision of the machinery.
3. CNC Kitchen Cabinets

Choose the Ideal CNC Furniture Design Materials
Choosing the right type of material for your CNC furniture design project is imperative. Generally speaking, softwood works best for CNC furniture designs, as it’s easier to cut and construct.
We also recommend applying hardwood layers as a strong finish. Here are some softwoods to consider for your CNC furniture design ideas:
- Yew
- Cedar
- Cypress
- Fir
- Pine
As for the hardwood layer, we highly recommend cherry for its natural radiant tones and creating a smooth finish.
