Riddling Rack Trestle Table

$4,500

The central design element to this trestle table is a riddling rack, which is used to hold Champagne bottles at a 45-degree angle during the fermentation process. The client had acquired this rack at a vineyard and wanted to make a dining table with it. This table is made with reclaimed hemlock from a century-old barn in Upstate New York. The rack is supported by the trestle supports and covered by a sheet of tempered glass. The table measures 76 inches long by 36 inches wide, and extends to nearly 9 feet with the extensions (supported by oak supports). The table is created using traditional pinned mortise and tenon joinery. Size, style and finish can be customized to your requirements.

      So easy and efficient dealing with Kerry. I'm sorry it took me this long to post a review, but Christmas chaos prevented it!
      The cutting board is so very special and if I could have given the 'Value' of the board more stars than 5, I would have. It's just beautiful. I will be in touch with Kerry one last time to ask for his expertise on caring for my new board. Thanks so much for beautiful craftsmanship!

      Kerry made the most beautiful table for us. He paid close attention to what we needed--a relatively small dining room table for our apartment that would open up to be large when we had the kids and grandkids over. I thought that would be a drop-leaf table, but he came up with a beautiful design that was more clever. He made a gorgeous cherry table that has hidden leaves under each end. When you lift up the top and pull those identical pieces out, they slide into place perfectly and the top drops down this the middle, making an 88-inch table. He was professional, the price was fair, he is clearly an artist and expert, and he chose a great shipper.

      The shelves arrived on time but the large shelf was broken and sent back. He was not happy with his handler. It came back in timely manner and it is up and looks great. Did everything to my specifications. Would highly recommend him.

      EXCELLENT. Great communicator throughout. Kerry took the time and care to understand exactly what I wanted and worked with me as I made refinements to my design. Kerry kept me updated throughout the construction with photos and time frame. The shelves were done earlier than I expected and he delivered them personally to my home to install. The craftsmanship is impeccable. I highly recommend his work and look forward to working with him again. EXCELLENT.

      I would highly recommend working with Kerry. We love the final product and found the process of working with him, easy, straight forward, helpful, and without any problems. The table is gorgeous and he also made a projector box for us and installed it. We are very happy with what Kerry made for us and the experience of working with him.
