Live Edge Dining Table Made From Black Walnut

This live edge table is made from two 'sister-slabs' of book-matched black walnut. The top is made from the two center cuts of a massive Pennsylvania black walnut tree trunk. The two slabs were 'butterflied' creating a symmetric grain pattern in the tabletop. The highly figured woodgrain shows lots of fire and flame.The two legs are also a book-matched pair of black walnut flitches. This collapsible table assembles in 2 minutes by inserting and locking the massive trapezoid shaped stretcher into the trapezoid shaped key holes in the legs! The live edge of the actual tree is preserved for an organic freeform.We build these tables to order in our Los Angeles workshop. No two are alike but you can choose the slabs to be used in advance, from photos. You can not only influence the size and shape but even the species of wood and finish.
