Dining Table

Thinking back to my parent’s house (and my house today), the dining table has always held a lot of symbolism and meaning that wasn’t (and isn’t) always apparent. In our busy, day-to-day lives, each member of the family has their own agenda. Kids go off to school or activities, parents go to work or run errands, and the lucky among us head into the shop. But, at the end of the day, the entire family comes back together to share an evening meal and catch up with one another. This invaluable family time is almost always around the dinner table. And this rustic farmhouse table is ideal for creating those memories.

TIMBER FRAMEWhen you look at this dining table, you can see that it has many details that take inspiration from traditional timber framing. The prominent ones are the knee braces and pegged joints. They add a sense of stability and permanence to the project. Something that will stand the test of time.
