Making the Tree House Dining Tables

Long live-edge slabs laid out on the ground

The Story

These are the Tree House Dining Tables, custom dining tables I am building now. The tops are built from slabs and the bases are joined with tenons.

The photos here are from the bench. Final photos are coming soon.

For another slab-top piece, see the Matilija Table.
