One of our customers from Vaughn area was featured in ourhomes magazine recently which had a writeup about their table. See “HOME & BUILDER Historic Development in Maple” under “features” at the following link:
I came to realization that www.hdthreshing.dreamhosters.com/blog is a complicated web address (especially when relaying over the phone!). Therefore, you can now reach our website via www.table.ca as well.
Depending on how you think you’ll use a table; we can do many different modifications.
For example, a lot of our customers go for the standard style trestle; with the rail in the centre. You could also put the rail at the bottom, if you like. This allows for a more modern, straight lines look on the ends. Our reclaimed wood tables are completely customizable; just let us know what you’re looking for.
Check out this image of a reclaimed wood table we did for a client in Toronto; featuring a bottom rail.

Every considered how many people you can get around a single picnic table?
This is due to the no-wasted-space style of bench seating. Consider putting benches around our reclaimed wood tables for a homely, cozy feel. Or, consider doing bench seating on half the table and chairs around the rest [a common choice]; which provides flexibility.

One thing I’ve noticed is that a lot of our customers ask if it’s okay to adjust dimensions/ style during the design process. I though I would just clarify – this is always okay.. everything we do we built from scratch! From reclaimed wood tables to a floating shelf to custom cabinetry – we do it all! Here’s some samples of stuff we’ve done recently that is “off the beaten path”….
This article goes into detail about how we take the wood from old barns and make beautiful furniture from it, provides testimonials from local customers, and talks about how we’ve grown.
Recently a company was interested in getting a 14 ft boardroom table from us. After we talked about colour, design, size ect, we narrowed it down to a 14 ft – 48″ wide – 3 post – reclaimed wood [hemlock] table – with the premium epoxy / matte polyurethane finish. We only then realized a major snag – how would we get this big beautiful table into the boardroom? The office was in a unique building that only had man doors to get in, a small elevator, and tight stairwells. This is what we came up with …
Essentially the base of the trestle table [like all our tables] was made so that it could be disassembled to get in. The 14 ft – 48″ would be inconceivable to get inside in one piece. The customer preferred not to have two tables that they could slide together; as he felt it would take away from the look. What we did was pre-dowelled, but didn’t glue, the seam in the centre. This allowed the top to be taken inside in two pieces. Then, when assembling on site; we re-drilled the dowel holes [as epoxy got in the holes during the finishing process] and slid the two tops together. This resulted in the best possible seam, and a boardroom table that was one complete piece (for reclaimed wood, anyway.. as reclaimed.. particularly threshing floor boards.. are distressed, rough, and not very geometric)
