Pine Slab Table

Carpentry
Personal Project

I made this simple coffee table without the use of any power tools — aside from the initial milling of the boards.

  • Milled from single slab of Pine, cut at a local sawmill near my home in Maine.
  • No fasteners or binding agents used. Joints pressure set with wedges.
  • Can be used as coffee table or bench.

Process

Building this table was a fun experience using materials and resources local to where I grew up in Midcoast Maine. I acquired the pine slabs for the table at a local sawmill. The pine tree they were from had been felled on the property, and I helped the mill's owner to process and plane the boards before bringing them home.
