I wanted to make a small writing table as a gift, but it needed to be able to be dis-assembled; I ended up making a shrunken version of this knock down trestle table from the Wood Whisperer. Alder, with walnut wedges and accents. Threaded inserts in the top with slots in the support arms...

This will be a long story. You know the old fable of stone soup, right? ...an itinerant pedlar comes to town with a magic stone to make soup…but it just needs a few more ingredients to make it perfect. Yea, right. Well, one of my brothers retired recently and wanted to 'reassemble' a dining...

Sorry about the lighting in the pictures. I included a pre-finished pic to show some more of the contrast between the mahogany and the purple heart.

A trestle table built from red oak. When I saw the design in a Better Homes & Gardens magazine ("Weekend Woodworking Projects", I believe is the title), I fell in love with the slim lines of this piece. Solid construction and fun to build, too.

Here is a tea-party trestle table that my father-in-law and I made with some of the wood that we had custom sawed and kiln dried from lumber off of my Dad's land in Maine. Suffice to say, I really lucked out in the Dad and father-in-law department. Most of the credit for this table belongs to...

Hi everyone, This was my latest project. I had long pieces of Walnut and oak left and thought i wanna try building a trestle table. I also wanted to try my new mortising machine. Only the top is glued together, the rest can be taken apart. This project didn't went as smooth as i hoped, but it...

My most recent project, just completed and delivered to my son 3 weeks ago. He wanted rustic, tool marks, nicks - dings - the whole works. I learned a lot doing this, but I think the most important lesson is that I'm too old to be lifting and handling a project this large. Got aches and pains in...

This is a mahogany trestle table I finished for a client about 6 months ago. The table was done entirely by hand except for the cove molding (don't have any good molding planes yet). The base is finished with Osmo oil/wax. The top is finished with candlelight oil stain (the top is 8/4 African...

This table is another table I made for work…but it has a good story…( I just finished this little bench for the men's bathroom)... This is a table that was in our staff lounged at my school. I think it was made by a parent. One day in the fall I walked into the staff room and saw all this...

This was a wedding present for my younger brother. I used the same method I used on my first pipe (started with the belt sander, then dremel sanding wheel, then hand sanding), but I wanted to add a little bit of rustication to this one. I used a dremel carving bit to do the job, and as with all...

I followed Chris schwarzs' plans for the trestle design except I lowered the stretcher. My mom picked out the eastern red cedar boards 6-7 months ago and I finally finished it. The base is southern yellow pine. Primed and painted with sherwin Williams shade grown green. I made a little lazy...

A customer has finally asked us to build a custom one of a kind Trestle dining table with Extension leafs on the ends. We have done many drawings and plans for customers that wanted a trestle table and/or leaves but none have ever panned out. This table is our first attempt at both table leaves...

Was asked to build a shadow box to go with an already purchased reassure chest. They wanted it removable with storage below it for retirement certificates etc. Also needed to look like they were built together. I was really please with how this turned out and they were too. Definitely a fun...

This set had been rolling around in my head for about a year before I started building it. I knew I wanted to build a trestle table for our dining area and chairs that were simple and elegant. I chose American black cherry and Jatoba, commonly known as Brazilian cherry. The table top is cherry...

I Just installed this Stickley inspired trestle table today. This is my first dining table and I am very happy with the results. The new owner of the table is happy with it too. It is built with Quarter Sawn White Oak, stained then finished with a conversion varnish. I used equalizing...
