An impressive Italian burl ash & walnut trestle table w harp-shaped bases and wrought iron stretcher, circa 1880. With two custom extenders—leafs for either end. 9 ft long without the leaves, 12 ft long with both. ( new to the gallery-and not yet on line so—you’ll just have to come in and visit us! ) 😀 #trestletable #vintagedecor #interiordesign #interiordesignideas #tablesetting #monumental #homedecor #luxe #luxury #winecountry #sf #sanfrancisco (at Garden Court Antiques)

Knockdown Trestle Coffee Table - Part 6 - Attaching the Top and Finishing

Last time - here’s what I made:

Here’s what got me here so far:

Again, here is what I had in mind to attach the top to the base, so that wood movement wouldn’t ruin my lovely new table later:

So I made them.  I dug out some scrap from this project, cleaned it up, gave it the dimensions I wanted, and with a couple of passes on the tablesaw I had them.

I cut that into pieces and got out my counter-sink bit.

That’s it.  I was ready to start applying finish!

For assembly, I moved the pieces from my shop to their destination and started assembling.

I made sure it was sturdy (it was actually ridiculously sturdy, I could breakdance on this thing).

All that was left to do was enjoy!

Thanks for reading!  I highly recommend trestle tables.  This was my first one, and I was surprised at how stable it was.  There is zero rocking in any direction.  The wife even gave me the green light to make a full scale version for a new dining room table!
