Reclaimed Redwood Trestle Table
The redwood for this beautiful table came from a water tower that was built in the late 1800's in south eastern PA. It found it's way south with a young woodworker who couldn't choose between his love of woodworking and his desire to become a fighter pilot. When he heard the Air Force base in Mississippi had a well equipped wood shop, it became a no brainer; bring the wood with him, After building a canoe, he decided to sell some which I was only too happy to buy. What impressed me the most was after 100+ years in the SE PA weather, the aged surface barely penetrated 1/8th inch. This table is built to seat 6 comfortably and is finished with an exterior grade urethane, making it suitable for the dining room or your patio.

I am a lifelong Carpenter/Woodworker/Craftsman focusing on practical solutions for real people using time-honored traditional methods. I have enjoyed an interesting and varied career which has included residential construction, marine construction, varied beach and riverfront dock and deck projects, high end interior trim and mill work installation, stair and balustrade design and installation, and custom built-in design and fabrication. I even had a brief but interesting stint as a set carpenter on a major Hollywood motion picture. I am currently specializing in the design and creation of tables and other furnishings using reclaimed woods and locally milled lumber. If this varied portfolio sparks your interest with other possibilities, I'm interested in hearing your ideas!
