I’m a big fan of trestle tables and love the use of reclaimed wood. Nice work.

Great way to reuse.

Thanks all. I really like having a story behind all the furniture and knowing where it came from. Most of it hadnt seen the light of day in over 100 years. I also think its kind of neat to see how my woodowrking has evolved in the past 3 years since that table was made. Id certainly do a lot of things different now but thats how we all grow, live and learn.

Chris nice job! The oak on the stool and cabinet top have fantastic grain. Nice save.

The best part is that i still have about 35’ left of the material that was used on the cabinet top. A little resawing of those 3”x3”’s and ill have a pile of more QS. Now if only those cut nails fell out on their own.

ahh now im with ya, bad interpretation on my part. I cant take credit for that though, i think the wife bought that somewhere along the way but i have actually used it in the shop to make large circles.

I love it. The only problem with reusing lumber is that the pieces get smaller and smaller.
