Table & Bench Set
Oak – Maple – Ash
Table: 72” x 40″ x 29”
Bench: 72” x 18″ x 17”
Local reclaimed barnwood – a mix of Oak, Maple and Ash – was used to make this rustic trestle table and bench set. The trestle ends were made with mortise and tenon joinery. The stretchers are connected to the trestle ends without glue or screws, allowing the table and bench to be broken down into flat components for easy transport. The table stretcher is joined with a through tenon held by a wedged pin, while the bench stretcher rests on the trestle ends using a half-lap notch. The breadboard ends of the table top and bench seat are secured with square pegs. The reclaimed boards were hand scraped to remove splinters and rough edges, but the old mill marks and weathered surfaces remain. Existing deep gouges in the table top and bench seat were filled with tinted epoxy.
