This Table is made from 100 year old salvaged maple, walnut, and wenge wedges. The maple came from a barn deconstruction near my shop. It was a really neat project, and there were some difficulties along the way for sure, but I grew as a woodworker, and thats why we do this stuff right? I made a youtube slideshow of the build if you would like to see the process. Thanks for looking!

I would love to watch the video but it tells me it’s set to private… I’ll assume there’s some lewd photos in the slide deck that you would rather not share with the rest of the community.

This is a nice prototype and a good use of that old barn wood. What do plan to make the real one from? Or I guess you could paint this one black or something. Just kidding.. Great work, the wood is fantastic, with so much character and you have given it a whole new purpose in life. Great work Dirk, you should be proud of this piece.

Usually the legs taper the opposite direction—the bottom is usually skinnier than the top. You managed to pull it off! I’m a big fan of tusk tenon joints too. Looking rad!

Added to favs. Beautiful job and wood. I’ve got a bunch of old salvaged long leaf pine I might use for something like this. Off to watch your vid now.
