Live Edge Trestle Table
Your Live Edge Trestle Table is a striking, bespoke dining table handcrafted to order in our Winchester workshop. Marrying traditional trestle construction with a beautifully organic tabletop, this piece celebrates the natural life of the wood. The sides of the top retain the **live edge** of the oak trunk slab, lending the table a fresh, contemporary feel that’s both dramatic and deeply authentic.
Crafted from carefully selected English oak, the live edge surface showcases the timber’s rich grain and character, creating a truly one-of-a-kind focal point for your dining space. Supported by a robust trestle base — known for its generous legroom and structural stability — this design bridges the worlds of rustic natural beauty and functional everyday elegance.

A trestle table is a type of table supported by a trestle base. These trestles serve as the main support structure for the table’s surface, often allowing for more legroom and flexibility compared to traditional tables with four solid legs. The trestle base can also be more decorative or feature intricate designs, adding to the table’s aesthetic appeal.
This unusual handmade trestle table created in English oak combines a traditional base with a stunning organic table top. The sides of the table top retain the live edge of the trunk slab giving the design a fresh, contemporary feel. It is very eye-catching and always popular with visitors to the showroom. It is a substantial 3m by 1m and an inspirational starting point for many other commissioned tables.
Historically, trestle tables were used in medieval times as portable dining tables, often found in banquet halls or inns. Today, they remain popular in both modern and traditional interiors due to their functional and stylish design.
