These tables are pieces of 4/4 reclaimed American Chestnut siding that we got from a barn we tore down in PA. It’s an original design of mine for a customer who wanted a reclaimed table they could break down easily for trade shows. It’s welded galvanized pipe with bar clamp heads and caster feet. Two of the casters lock. It’s a simple design and worked well. Pretty sturdy. I laminated the chestnut to a sheet of birch plywood and then framed it all in. I also grinded down some metal folding chairs and spray painted the logo of the company on the chair for looks. Kinda matches the “Industrial” feel.

Very cool way to mix the metal and wood together.

You’re very lucky to have a supply of American Chestnut… that stuff is like gold. I love the look of that table top! Good job.

I’ve never seen anything like this! Really fun. Agree with Tyler about the chestnut. I’ve got a few hundred board feet out of sheer luck.

Yes, it’s really great to work with. We bought a barn that was 90% chestnut. We have about 15,000 board feet of it at the yard. We are picking up an industrial resaw for the shop that we hope to have running soon. We’re going to start offering it in 8/4 and 4/4 s2s soon.

We sell it for $7/bf as beams. Resawn we’re probably going to be around $9-10 resawn into s2s lumber.
