Farm Tables, Harvest Tables, and Trestle Tables
By any name, these tables are a gathering place — a place where we gather our family, express our prayers, share our meals, talk about the day, and enjoy time with our friends. These tables carry a wonderfully rich tradition over time and in our hearts. Our farm tables are individually, handcrafted in our small shop so that they can last generations in your home.
Browse through some of the photos — trestle tables, farm tables, and industrial tables to get an idea of some of the things we can create. There’s even a collection of sketches that we’ve fiddled with over the years. We custom build virtually all of our tables.
Prices are based on size, style of wood, and the design of the base. If you have something in mind, we can help design it. There’s also some pricing information to give you a feel for what to expect.
At Antique Woodworks, we love to craft great tables. As we look through tens of thousands of board feet of reclaimed wood, we run into some wonderfully unique pieces of wood that just cry out to become something special. We find the piece of white oak that has great hand-hewn marks from a farmer over 150 years ago. We find red oak from an old log cabin with a stunningly warm, chestnut and auburn patina. We find slabs of wood that are 12 inches wide and 2 inches thick.
For a little more information, take a look at the wood countertop section of our website.
These tables give us an opportunity to create and let the wood speak. Of all the items in our shop, this is an item where we really see customers wanting to go back to the piece to touch it and admire it. It’s a tangible piece of history re-crafted into something special by the hands of a modern woodworker. It is, indeed, a wonderful thing.

I had a customer from Texas call the other day and asked for a reclaimed wood conference room table with a nautical theme. I chuckle a bit and ask him, “were you talking with my customer down in Florida?” He replies, “No, should have I?” In nearly 15 years, we’ve…
Old Family Barn; New Family Table
While this table is perhaps not as dramatic as many of the tables that we’ve done in the past, it does, nonetheless have some wonderful features. Most importantly, our customer came to us with a pile of wood from an old family barn. It is always wonderful to use barnwood…
Cantilever Table with Metal Base
We have been working on this cantilever table for quite some time. It is really a combination of two different tables that we completed in the past. The curved base was originally done for a large Edina, Minnesota conference room and general cantilever style was done for a company on the East…
Hand Hammered Pedestal Base
Creating great tables like this is why I love this business. Almost 7 years ago, I ran into Doug Lockhart on the Web while looking for someone to craft bridge style ironwork. He sketched out a table way back then that would later become the basis for this design. Finally, many…
