Suffolk Oak Trestle Table

£2,740
Quantity:

The Suffolk Oak Trestle Table, designed by Suffolk chair maker Jim Parsons and now handcrafted by Woodbridge Boatyard’s shipwrights.

Made with solid English oak and ash, felled and seasoned on a local farm, then transported up the River Deben on a boat to the Suffolk boatyard.

The desire was to create a flexible table to last a lifetime, for use within the heart of a home - a dining table; a desk; a display table, as life and requirements evolve. The use of handcrafted skills and local wood was essential to it’s integrity.

Table Table Top Size: No.1: 140cm x 70cm
Table Table Top Size: No. 2: 160cm x 80cm (This size is on display in our Woodbridge shop.)
Table Table Top Size: No. 3: 180cm x 90cm
Trestle Legs are available without a table top.

Two table tops of the same size and 2 x pairs of trestle legs can be placed together to form a square table. 

The top is constructed from seasoned Oak boards, with a subtle tactile ripple, held together with Oak braces secured purely with copper nails and rivets.

A variety of traditional techniques almost all involving hand tools are used to craft the table. Curved components are steam bent, legs spokeshaved and the back spindles made using rotary planes. 

The Trestle Table is shown here with Jim Parson's Suffolk High Back Settle, Low Back Settle and Bench.

The tables are made to lead time 4-6 weeks.
