This custom trestle table features a locally sourced live-edge pine slab and a Wenege base. To customize this project, I sized a traditional Trestle table style to fit the entryway for my client’s home. A wedge driven through a tusk tenon is the main joinery holding the table together.
The light-colored pine makes a beautiful contrast to the rich dark reddish brown of the wenge.
A few years ago, a devastating forest fire ripped through the Black Forest here in Colorado; it burned many homes in the area and left the landscaped scared. There are dead-standing trees throughout the area. This custom table was built from one of those dead trees slabbed up after the fire for a client living in the area. We have made several pieces from this tree, including a bench.
