About The Project

This table is a cooperative piece made with a friend. This was her first woodworking furniture project. The table was made at the height of the Covid pandemic. Like many, my friend was stuck working from home. Her preferred home office was her bed, but balancing a laptop and coffee cup on the bed was untenable.

The table was built to pull over her bed and function as a desk work surface. When not in use it is stored at the foot of the bed.

The table was made from a very unique red oak wood slab, which features live edges on both sides, wormholes, and ingrown bark “raisins”. The clear finish accents these features. The legs of the table are waterfall joined to the top. In this process the plank of wood was cut and mitred at the corners so the wood grain runs contiguously from the top down the legs.

The end result is an unusual and beautiful piece of furniture.
