Ash Trestle Table

I built this table for our kitchen out of ash from a sawyer in Baltimore County with a little bit of walnut I picked up several years ago from someone in Havre de Grace that had some trees from his property cut up so it’s all “local” wood. I was able to get a bunch of ash slabs from the middle of the tree, cut out the pith and was left with a lot of nice quartersawn/riftsawn pieces for the top. I grain filled the top and edges with a medium brown dyed filler. Loose mortise and tenon joinery for the base and a water borne conversion varnish for the finish.

2023 Season

We’re back at it and will be doing one show this year to ease back into things. Hope to see some familiar faces. We really appreciate those of you that thought of us and contacted us in the interim looking for items.

The show we’re doing will be at Glasgow High School on Saturday, December 9, 2023.
