This was by far my most enjoyable project to date. Made from white oak, flat sawn (with the exception of the stretcher and feet). I used machines for the “donkey” work – rough cutting, thickness planing, ext. But, I used all hand tools for the joinery. It was my first time cutting the houndstooth. I also finally learned how to cut mortise correctly with my bench chisels.

All oak it began with an off cut of my nephews new kitchen top and my wife’s desire for a new table. Scaled down from the original to suit our needs.

Trestle Table Black Walnut scaled up to 88 inches x 42 x 2 1/4.In these times of confinement, woodworking is vital for our mental balance. Paul thank you for your teaching, of course there is the technique but beyond that you teach us a new way of living in respect with nature and also the human being … The true values in this world a little crazy and trouble. You help us more than you think. Thank you.
