Knock-Down Dining Table

This Black walnut knock-down trestle is a sturdy and versatile table design that dates back to the Middle Ages. In our modern version, two tapered wood pins hold the components together with friction. These wedges can be easily removed with the tap of a mallet (or a ham hock) to break the base down into four portable flat pieces for easy storage, shipping, and modern nomadic living.  Quickly set it up for dinner and then knock it down to make room for the dance party.
