Rough Outline of Kristin's "HillCountry Manor" Trestle Table

Cutting and carving the Mortise & Tenons into the trestle of the base just like the old Barn Beams from days gone by. Guess "they" (we) do still make 'em like they used to. :D   



More coming soon



ALMOST FITS!!



AFTER SANDING/CARVING/WHITTLING BY HAND
IT SLIDES RIGHT IN ON THE SECOND OR 5th TRY! :D



"LIKE A GLOVE."


This is the most level spot we could find to set it up outside. This table is so huge, it takes up
most of my work area. That's why I called it the "HILL COUNTRY MANOR" Table.

It looks like it's something out of an old, stone Texas Cattletrader Mansion from way back. 
Or perhaps a modern-rustic Comal Villa. 
Or just a Regular Family home. haha ;D


The stretcher "Beam" (aka: "Footrest") is not in yet. It will stick out the face of the trestles (ends)
with old school, barn-building, mortise & tenon joints and wooden pegs.

The bench is not done yet either. This is just the ROUGH outline of the structure. 
Haven't even started finishing out yet.
