This beautiful handmade refectory table with gun barrel turned legs is a stunning piece of furniture. It is made from a combination of reclaimed and kiln dried English oak and has to be one of the most charming tables Steve has ever made. The table is 2 inches thick and is distressed with a wonderful patina. This particular table is a permanent feature in the showroom and although Steve has had several offers to purchase it, he’s always resisted the temptation.
A refectory table is a large, sturdy dining table traditionally used in the dining halls of monasteries, colleges, and other communal settings, such as schools or religious institutions. The term “refectory” comes from the Latin word “refectio,” meaning “refreshment” or “meal,” and such tables were designed to accommodate large groups of people for communal meals.
