Tables, Desks, Workstations. It sure is nice not to have to sit on the floor.

The main requirement for a table is to hold things up off the floor.

After the basic design needs are met the design of your table is open to anything you can think of: Metal, glass, ceramic or best of all, wood. An organic approach is to simply use a slab cut from the tree. Take this raw material of wood, smooth and polish it, put on a protective finish that shines and brings out the natural beauty of the tree. Some say this is the soul of the tree (see George Nakashima’s book titled “The soul of a Tree: A Master Woodworkers Reflections”).

Most often though, trees are milled into boards to create building blocks. Woodworkers  fit them together in such a way as to create functional furniture. Once A Tree can help bring to life your style and your design. In the photos on this page  a variety of construction methods are shown for creating table legs. In the organic computer desk the legs are built up of thin slices of wood to create a laminated leg. The elegant legs of the demilune table were stained to give a striking look. The shaker style desk draws on the beauty of the wood to enhance the simple design.
