Rustic oak dining table with artistic natural character
The solid rustic natural wood table top has grown in one piece and is cut out of the trunk of a free-standing oak tree. Wind and weather have given it its artistic and unique growth. This outstanding dining table is a splendour of nature.
The natural edges require alot of handwork to bring out this special oak wood in an impressive and rustic way and to make them soft to the touch. Every curve is a special hand-flatterer. This magnificent wood excites all the senses.
I attach great importance to high-quality workmanship so that the customer can enjoy a special one-of-a-kind piece for a long time. Before processing, I first dry the solid tabletop naturally in the air and then gently artificially down to approx. 8% wood moisture. This is very important to prevent the oak table top from warping or cracking later on. After that, I straighten the tabletop and start the processing.
I finish the distinctive natural edges by hand and fill the cracks with a high-quality epoxy resin. After sanding several times, I finish the tabletop with a special surface system to make it scratch-resistant and moisture-proof. The surface is not oiled, but is as harmless to health as an oiled surface, but has a much better quality and property than an oiled surface.
Dining tables are usually very busy as they are the most used furniture in the household. They are used several times a day and family and friends gather here. Equipped with a high-quality finish, you can use the dining table safely and also get a unique piece of art furniture that retains its value for a long time. The epoxy resin finish seals the smallest cracks and prevents moisture from penetrating the wood. If necessary, the thick solid table top can be renovated in years or decades and replaced in new condition. This creates the conditions for a long-lasting heirloom.

Many small knots, cracks and three-dimensional appearing swirls combined with the natural tree edges characterise the archaic and root-typical oak wood table, designed by nature.
In each area of the solid oak table top there are interesting natural features that attract the eye. A special feature of this rustic table top is that it is grown in one piece. No glue joint disturbs the continuous fascinating grain, which creates a particularly beautiful image of nature.
I make each wooden table individually by hand in my workshop in Goch on the Lower Rhine. Far away from global mass production, this is how I create exclusive and special one-of-a-kind pieces that I make individually according to the customer's wishes. You benefit from my many years of professional experience as a master carpenter.
The bases made of modern metal or glass are made individually for each wooden table. I will be happy to show you samples in person in my workshop, as well as other beautiful solid oak table tops and my working methods. Here I will discuss all other aspects of how your individual dream table should look.
A real unique table with the number 98 that will only exist once and that the owner will enjoy for a long time. The beauty of the natural material wood is impressively shown to advantage with this rustic dining table. High-quality and moisture-resistant workmanship vouches for outstanding quality.
The table height is usually 74 to 78 cm. If chairs with armrests are used, the table should have a lower edge of 69 cm. This way, you can also slide these chairs under the table if necessary. So I have the base frames made at a height of 69 cm. With a tabletop thickness of approx. 7 cm, the total height is approx. 76 cm, so that all requirements are met.
To dine comfortably at a table, it should be approx. 100 - 110 cm wide. The length should be approx. 70 - 80 cm per person so that everyone has enough space for themselves. For 8 people, for example, this would be a table length of approx. 220 cm, three people on each of the long sides and one at each end of the table.
It always depends on the individual situation. If you have a large dining room, the dining table can also be larger than the specified dimensions. Especially here, a modern oak table with a large solid tabletop grown in one piece can show off its fascinating and rustic grain and all its aesthetics. It looks like a living tree in the middle of the room and enhances it.
Two unfinished oak blanks from the same tree as in the picture opposite are still available to make a special wooden table from these individual pieces according to your wishes. The finished table will look similar to the dining table I have pictured here.
The dimensions of the solid table tops are approximately 230 cm long x 110 cm wide x 7 cm thick.

Basically, I make unusual wooden tables with a special appearance, unique and one-of-a-kind pieces. As an alternative to this wooden table in burl oak, I can also offer you an oak table with a tabletop made from old red wine barrel staves. The special feature of this sustainable table is the beautiful reddish-brown warm colouring which is the result of years of storing red wine. As an exhibition table, you can buy this table at a reasonable price, but with a new surface finish so that it is as good as new . Information about this special wooden table can be found here.
