Walnut Trestle Table and Bench

This walnut trestle table is one of my biggest table projects to date. I started the table in January, finished it mid-February and just finished the accompanying bench a few days ago.  It’s called a trestle table because, like a trestle bridge, it relies on many parts or supports working together to give it it’s great strength. One of the more striking components of the table is the contrasting steel pipe and end caps incorporated into the base… They exude strength and really add grandeur to this grand sized table.

This project was made possible by the talent and expertise of Colette Cook who made the plans, did the metal work for, and put a lot of hard work into this table before passing the project on to me to finish.
