Project Information
This is the second piece for my youngest son's new apartment. It's a design from the wood whisperer website. Very simple but beautiful trestle design.
Wood is California claro walnut with quilted maple for the detail on the legs and for the wedges that hold the trestle tight.
Used to General finishes arm-r-seal. 5 or 6 coats on the top to try and give it some durability.
I love to work in this walnut. The colors and grain patterns are wonderful. I added a closeup of one of the feet that shows the great figure in the wood. I have a bunch of this figured 8/4 stock that will be used for a set of chairs to go with the table. That doesn't happen until I do some serious shop cleaning and overdue maintenance. Shop is kind of a disaster right now.
Not sure why some of the pictures uploaded as rotated 90 degrees. Anyone know how to fix those?
