A client of ours wanted to surprise her husband after the renovation of their new party barn. They were looking for two big bar tables 3ft wide and 8ft long to help fill and accent the new space. They needed to be rustic like a barn, yet refined enough to celebrate important milestone events.
“Two oak tables coming right up!” I said.
The table tops are made of one inch thick oak glued together and sanded smooth, giving a very character-full appearance. The bases of these twin tables are made of solid oak and walnut barn wood 4x4s, fully mortise and tenoned together for superior strength. Similar to the tops, the stringers and center braces are made of solid sanded oak mortised straight into the base beams. The tables were all finished with two coats of durable polyurethane varnish.
I am very pleased with the contrast in the way they turned out. These oak and walnut tables were built to last and enjoy for decades to come!
